Hey SAU,

Wasn't sure where I should post this, so I thought I'd post this here as I have a N/A.

Anyways, I just needed some thoughts on how to go about this.

Do you guys reckon it is possible to basically swap out from motor to diff? so in short from N/A AWD, to Turbo RWD.

I understand that most sensible people would just buy a GTT but the car has very strong sentimental meaning, so reselling is not an option unfortunately.

Thanks guys

i would use a turbo diff as that one i guess is built for n/a power plus sharing the load with a front diff. so it cant be very strong. you may need a different front cross member and hub assemblies to. just be extra weight to leave them. p.s. i was the same until someone offered cash and a lot. im glad i didnt do the conversion :)

You should either get a C34 Stagea RB25DET engine or turbo the current engine. I'm doing the turbo the current engine route.

Just follow the "How to turbo your N/a slow slug POS skyline" thread. It has a break down of all the parts and costs.

If you hunt around you can get all the parts for under $1000 and bolt it on ur self. You will need to get a tune as the N/a tune is not suited for turbo.

Posting here because of Google...

R34 GT4 coupe to turbo and keeping AWD.

How much does something like that cost? parts and labour

I love the r34 GTT but I hunger for AWD grip

Fell free to buy my GT4 :)

If it's so easy why isn't everyone doing it?

Because no one can be bothered unless they really want to & most R34 GT/-t s are RWD to start with.

There have been a few R33 GTS4s converted to AWD RB25DET using Stagea gear.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
