has anyone attempted to do this or has thought about it? i'm thinking about swapping the rb25 from a stagea and putting it into an R34 gt-four. make a sleeper. any helpful and positive feedback would be appreciated. i bought an R34 gt-four rolling chassis (2 door) and it didn't have a drivetrain. what parts would i need exactly to do this swap. i've tried researching this for a while now and i can't find anything on it.

I have put in a AWD 25DE into my r32 gts4.

Its all pretty straight forward.

ECU, loom, etc.

Exhaust may need a little modification in the front pipe section

You will also need to change fuel pump to accomodate for he bigger need of fuel

i was going to do this swap, but decided to go the rb30 awd path with my r34.

Pretty much a straight forward swap, with only a few minor changes.

What does your rolling chasis have? rear diff? engine? was it orginally manual or auto? if its manual do you have all the clutch gear (slave cylinder etc)?

The main point is making sure that you have the correct diff ratios front and rear. Most stageas are auto, so if your gtfour is manual and you still have the front diff, take the stageas rb25 diff/sump off and use the gtfour's.

Everything else is pretty much plug n play

Just on a side note the r34gtfour uses the same box as a gtr (but its uses a push type clutch, like the early r32's) but the rear diff is the same as a na r33/r34. This pretty much means if you are planning on pushing it hard, i wouldnt expect the axles/diff to hold up. The gtr rear diff is a great upgrade, but you'll need the gtr half shafts aswell. Then if you use the gtr rear diff you'll need the gtr's front diff aswell (since they have different ratios to the gtfour).

If you dont have a gearbox, the gtr box will bolt up, but just be careful which one you get (push or pull type).

Other than that, it should be a relatively quick, cheap and fun awd r34 :spank:

ok cause i was wondering about using the gtr diff's. also i'm gonna be using the auto tranny but i'm gonna have it built up and i'm gonna have the motor push about 500-600hp. so could i use the auto tranny with the gtr diff's? i plan on building the motor with z-tune internals and use an apexi AX53B70 turbo, hks valvetrain, i even have the gtr MFD screen for the vitals, z32 maf's, q45 throttle body, s-max intercooler with a built in sprayer just in case, tranny cooler and a few other mods.

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
