Hi all. Ive been reading stuff off this site for a long time now and finally decided to make an account. Im from New Zealand and own a r34 gtt. Im in the process of doing a manual conversion using what I was told was a rb25de r34 box same specs as rb20det box I believe? Now comes to my problem what front section drive shaft do I use? The drive shaft I have I think it is r32. All another conversion I have read use r33 big box or 34 box which in nz is atleast 1800 jus for box. So u would use 33 or 34 drive shaft. So what should I b using r34 rb25de front section, modified r33 front section with a rb20det yoke weilded on?

You just need a front section that suits that box. So that comes down to a choice of;

1) R32 RB20DET front section,

2) R33 RB25DE front section,

3) R34 RB25DE front section.

Those are all the same. The only one that is different from those is the RB25DET.

Be informed that this conversion is a mistake. The small gearbox won't last as long behind the big motor as the big box will. Resist the temptation to add any extra power. The extra torque will only make things worse.

Thanks mate the 32 hoop seem to be in the wrong place.

Yes I know that its jus temporary. Till I can get some more money together done the line. Are they all the same lenght?

I was assuming you were going to cut'n'shut. If you just want to swapsies, then you need one from an NA 34, or more than likely 33, seeing as those cars are 99% the same under the skin.

When it blow hopefully will have enough to replace it with rb25set big box. Its a #2 box so hoping will last a lil longer with better snycros

Better synchros have nothing to do with it. The input shaft bearing will call it quits, or you'll break something else.

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy

      I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.

      I haven't used the Crank Motorsport ones, but can I ask why not use standard gtr/gts4 axles at the front? They would easily cope with that power level. BTW.....sounds like quite the project!
