Just thought I'd tell you guys of a fcouple of things I've found out about my R34 over the course of owning it.

The tiptronic gearbox in the non-turbo is the same unit as the turbo one has! I'm guessing due to the expense of developing two differnet items for a car that had a limited existance.

I'm yet to confirm this for the non-turbo manual 5 speed, as I don't have access to one to check out.

Also R34's use top-feed injectors for the whole range..from RB20, RB25 to RB26...yet another strange thing.

Thats right Sumo, an RB20DE was present in one of the R34 models... and if that doesn`t scare you, there was an RB20E (thats right a single cam!) in the lowest spec R33.

666DAN - Our GTT's (RB25DET) use side feed Injectors, not top feed (see Here) and, at the moment, I can only find one injector upgrade (Nismo 480cc) because they're some kind of special plastic version and therefore R33 ones won't work! (unless you change the fuel rail and/or the resistor packs)

PS

Here's a piccy of an RB20'd R34

MY old GTS was powered by an RB20E. It wasn't that bad! It wasn't good either, but it was a skyline and it was cheap. So, if I had to guess why Nissan made the Skyline range available with a RB20E I'd say to reduce the cost of the entry model to appeal to more people.

The surprising thing about the skyline is tha although it's a kick-ass sports car, it's also a 4 door family sedan that Grandpa Joe likes driving around in...and granpa Joe usually doesn't care how many cams are under the bonnet... :(

There is actually a name for those rb20e R33's, but i cant remember what it is.  I think it started with "E"  Someone who had one should know.

Eeerm... "Urbanliner"?

Nissan Skyline "Extremelyslowcarthatlookslikeasportscar"?

But Nismo only supply top-feed aftermarket injectors for the R34 series, as they are the only direct replacements for the factory rail...which is top-feed....go have a look, I've even taken my one out. YES R33 RB25's use side feed...not the R34.

These are the engines the R34s came out with in 1998

so are they low or high impendence?

would GTR ones fit?

They're the opposite of the GTR ones but I can't remember which they are (I think it's high)

the only upgrade I could find (from any maker) was the Nismo 480cc ones, but if you alter the resistor pack then you could fit GTR ones I suppose.

    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
    • I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....
