You said that you wanted to build a 4 door GT-R. Genuine, factory built, GT-R sedans are almost impossible to find.

My point is that doing it yourself by getting a 4 door chassis and transplanting the engine/driveline from a GT-R coupe into it is going to be a massive job with lots of custom work from whichever workshop you eventually get to help you with it. The end result is more prone to failure than a 4 door car that left the factory with an AWD drivetrain, and OEM levels of engineering and testing behind it.

If you're talking about just dropping an RB26DETT into a sedan chassis then it should be relatively simple, and reliability will come down more to how you treat the car than anything else. But, to be quite blunt, the GT-R is defined more by its advanced drivetrain than its engine so that car wouldn't be a "4 door GT-R" any more than some ricer who sticks badges on their GTS-t.

If you intend on having the GT-R's ATTESSA (which is different to the GTS4's ATTESSA) fitted as well as the engine into a sedan, which would make it more worthy of the title, then you're going to need deep pockets and people who really know what they're doing. Even then, I'd still be worried that things had to be kludged to fit/work, which means it's more likely to break than a car that was designed to be that way in the first place.

My opinion:

If you are going the R34 N/A route - Keep the 4 door as "daily spec" - With minimal mods. High flow panel filter, extractors and a decent sounding stereo (not the full DOOF DOOF stuff - adds so much weight and takes boot space) and some nice alloys. This will also enable you to get parts from the nissan dealerships.

R34 non-turbo are not quick cars (on par with your typical n/a aussie 6s), however they do keep pace with the "majority" of cars out there - so they are not underpowered by any means. I'd put them as VERY average. Only real advantage of the n/a R34 is the better handling and the good looks (majority of people out there have no clue between the bread and butter GT/GT-T to the GT-R).

When you save up enough you could probably end up having 2 cars :P R34 4 door as a daily and a GT-R for the weekend/having fun...

I just picked up a R32 sedan gtst with Rb26dett conversion

plenty of mods done to it, upgraded brakes, tein suspension, 750cc injectors, ecu, gtr fuel pump, etc

they are around, need to be quick tho when they pop up

about to strip it into a track biatch

unless you want it for 10k ;)

buy a POS first car cheap as chips

save as much money as you can in the mean time

when off p's buy an ER34 GTT and youll be fine

ER34 GTT to GTR conversion is stupid, pointless, not worth the $ and a waste of time

the money youll spend all up - you could just buy a GTR R34 for the price they are now

the converted ER34 GTT to GTR will be worth nothing in comparison to what you spend

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
