Hey All!

Have just saved up the cash to finally do the conversion on my N/A R34 and whack a turbo on it.

I know there are threads already open on this topic, but i want the South Aussie opinions on the cost of parts, where to get them, places to get it done and other general info that will help me along the way.

I've called Boostworx like 4 times and they still havent gotten back to me regarding part costs and labour charges.

So if i can get some figures together and work around that then my faith will be restored in the idea of doing this!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers! :blink:

Sorry mate, it is a shocking idea. Sell the car and buy a GTT. The costs you come across to do the whole package are staggering, and you will NEVER get it engineered and through Regency.

There is a very simple reason why almost no-one does it - the lengths you need to go to to do it is simply nonviable (have you thought about the need to change your rotors/calipers/brakes, transmission {which is not built to take the power} and your diff {also not built to take the power}).

Agreed. Cut your losses, sell the N/A and just buy a turbo one that came like it from factory, you might even get some goodies on it :blink: By the time you spend the cash to make it all legal it will end up costing you a LOT more than you had originally allowed for

I don't know what the compression is on the N/A engine, but it might be too high to just bolt a turbo on, without having to open up the engine and bring down the compression (change the pistons etc.) not cheap labour wise anyway.. labour is going to be as high, maybe even higher thanthe cost of the parts put together. I think in the end it's cheaper to just sell the current car and get a GT-T

Nah that was just pretty much a quote for the turbo kit and labour. Its the engineering that really has me worried. i get pulled over enough as it is down my way so it just seems pointless for me to go ahead with the conversion.

If anyone is selling a nice stagea....PM ME!

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
