hey guys i just converted my gfs r34 gt auto coupe to turbo manual using a rb25det neo engine and wiring loom, rb25det neo stagea ecu, r33 gearbox, r33 clutch pedal assy, r33 manual front part of the driveshaft (used the r34 gt rear part of the driveshaft where it bolts to diff) r33 lsd diff and axles, r33 gtst brakes.

all when in sweet and the turbo loom plugged straight up to the dash so everything works (exept the speedo) which i will sort out later. im pretty sure the abs wont work now thou as the abs unit has different plugs than the GT, but i could probably put a gtt ABS control unit in. the check engine light is on for the throttle motor sensor (traction control) as i dont hav traction control but the car drives fine and has full power etc. there is one plug that i had to re-wire which is the plug that bolted onto the side of the intake manifold in the centre between the runners which connects the engine loom to the alternator loom as this plug is for the knock sensors and a few other things but the colour of the wires is the same just a different plug and an extra wire on the turbo wiring harness side for the oil temp sender. oh and had to use the non turbo engine mounts and engine mount brackets, and had to change to a turbo engine throttle cable. all in all pretty easy to do.

Sound like a lot of Fudging around for the average joe who just wants his car to go shutututu,

you did what a lot of people with NA's want to do but lack the mechanical knowledge, time or

funds to bother when R34's and S15's can be had for under 15k these days. Otherwise

good effort.

I have done a Similar conversion to my R34, execpt I bought a whole written off R34. Took all the parts that I needed and sold off the parts that I didn't use as well as my old engine/box.

I didnt really keep track of the exact costs, but my whole conversion wouldn't have owed more than $2500 (Including new clutch, Timing belt kit, Brakepads and rotors)

I thought it was a much better option than selling up and buying a GTT as I already knew the condition of the car inside out.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
