R34 Gtt Rwd, To Gtr Awd Conversion

[godsmind]

1.V-spec diff and rear cradle

2. Pipings.

3. maybe ill change the console to gtr monitor....

4. Attesa computer...Some wire havent been hooked up,, like the torque meter wire and a couple of unnessesary one.

5. Popped rivot a plate and mounted the computer in the boot. Will relocate the battery here too when I got some time.

6. Fuel pump controller....

7. Cluth cylinder, holesaw the firewall and put one on. part of the deal to convert a Auto to manual

8. Modified bonnet catch to suit GTR bonnet.

9. Modified hinges to suit GTR bonnet.

Have done some chassis re-enforcement

Made some big brackets and have bolts going through in all different angles. front end is heaps stiffer

HAHA. I think all us GTT owners have subscribed to this thread.

Is there a way to have the GTR driveline convert into AWD as opposed to 4WD?

It's a lot of monies to do this conversion but I prefer a continuous AWD GTT as opposed to a 4WD convert.

hi, i'm concidering doing this conversion myself thanks to this thread ive sorced the complete driveline and dash from a 34 vspec, but am going with a standard gtr engine as i'm upgrading the turbos to the t28s anyway XD

also gonna upgrade the a power fc or something like that.

is there any differance between the vspec 34 and gtt frames?

i'm hoping for a simple drop, swap and tune... what do you think my chances are? this'll be my first conversion and my mechanic's first on an r34...

:S

cheers in advance

It is not a drop in and tune.

Especially if it's your mechanics first time.

You need to make sure the ECU's (yes, all of them) are installed correctly. G-sensors, the works. It's not just a unbolt and bolt up affair.

You also need the gearbox and rear diff etc, add that the transfer case pumps etc. Cheaper just to purchase a GTR. You then get the wider guards etc and wheelbase - which is better again etc.

I'm not even sure the GT-t and GTR chassis are the same anyway, the GTR being better logically

+1.

From what I read the wiring/electrical aspect is the most difficult issue you'll face. I know a few dudes state-side that have done a GTR engine/tranny convert on a S14:

He said it was a BEITCH to do and expensive. If you have the time and money then I say go for it! If then, like R31Nismoid said, it's probably better to get a real GTR.

BTW, I was told that the R34 chasis are the same between the GTT and GTR. There are of course difference in certain areas relating to the frame (i.e. crossmembers, etc).

ive scored a vspec half cut fron and rear. they are the same car wich is a bonus XD

the only thing that has been taken out of it is the engine and the brakes. i've sorced another engine and some standard gtr brakes too. plus they even had the turbos of another vspec wich to my understanding are the same as t28's?

also looking out for a power fc. gonna be easier to deal with than a standard computer.

i'm taking everything out of the vspec and throwing it in my car.the only things that will still be gtt are the things i cant unbolt and the wiring for the cabin. even the brake system will be swapped over. the guy thats doing it said he'd do it for my 25gtt engine, gearbox and driveline. so really, its gonna cost me nothing to put it in

i thought about getting a GTR, but its still about 10k more than i can afford

thats alot to pay for some badges. i'm happy with the fun aspect and 250 a. w. killer wasps XD

thanks for the feedback guys, ill let ya know how it goes

[CrimsonLey]

Definitely keep us posted, mate. Don't forget to add pix

sounds like you are under estimateing how much the swap will cost you.

[godsmind]

the swap will require alot of custom work. both mechanical and wiring........if you are asking someone to do it all, it will cost you alot and better of sell the car and buy the GTR. I took up this project simply to set a challenge to my self and see if i am capable of doing it. Which I think i did alright.

If you can read eletrical diagram, I would suggest you try it yourself if you have decided to take it on....

the experience and satisfaction is whats most important doing such a swap...in my opinion anyway..

Hey sorry for bringing up a very old thread, but did you have to modify the trans tunnel at all for the transfer case on the transmission? I am going to be doing this conversion and I have a R33 GTS4 as a parts car (it's crashed and not repairable but good enough for parts for this) which I can cut some of the transmission tunnel out if I need to but if you managed it without it then that makes things slightly easier.

[Mastro6963]

Hey @godsmind are you still around on this forum just had a couple of questions about the rear end
