Hi mate I'm not sure on the exact reason behind your question but I'm told the 34 gearbox isn't all that strong???

The series 3 R33 gearbox is supposed to be the pick of the bunch for strength.

Hi Simmo;

The reason? I want to see if it's worth doing, and not just for the extra gear. Found out g'box ratios today but it appears that while R32/33 had 4.11 diffs, R34 has 3.54 which means Nissan had something else in mind for a gear ratio / engine match. I don't have my gear ratio ready reckoners handy (moving house) so I can't work out what final result I'd have using the R34 ratios. I think once I unearth them I'll do some calcs and work it out that way.

Thanks

Whilst this is true (about the different diff ratios), you must remember that the R34 version of the RB26DETT makes a lot more power than the R32/R33 version. Even though they're still rated at 206kw, it is regularly seen that dead stock R34 GTRs are spinning up in excess of 220-230kw @ all four wheels on the dynos.

Merli;

Good point. My 32 will have about 275 4wkw and hence some of the flexibility that the R34 has in that respect. I guess it would then be logical to look into changing the diff centres...oh no here we go down the black hole again...

The whole business of matching engine torque curves to gears etc is so complex I'll probably leave the whole thing alone, but I still want to explore the possibilities because it might yield some real benefits.

Sounds like something Sydneykid might be able to help with.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
