Hey Guys,

I have an R34 25GT-Four Automatic and I wanted to convert it to R33 GTR or R34 GTR Manual Transmission and RB26 Engine. Is this possible or too costly? My apprehension is that will not fit because of the differentials.

would be an alternative solution, the original five-speed transmission from the GT-Four? how much torque keeps it from?

With best regards

Kevin

Urgh.

The answer for most of these types of questions is that it's almost always cheaper to just buy a GTR.

That's pretty serious conversion work when you factor in your going to have to upgrade hubs, brakes, suspension to make it somewhat safe.

If your dead set on converting it, then get a drivetrain from a series 2 C34 stagea, or preferable a whole wreck. That will get you a RB25det neo, 5spd manual, the diffs, 5stud hubs etc.

I know that it is almost as expensive as a GTR, but I can control the cost and say now is good enough for me and I can closing the converison.

as an alternative I thought of the Manual 5-speed transmission from the GT-Four

Does anyone have experience with the 5-speed transmission from the GT-Four? How much maximum power / torque it can

Would you be doing all the work yourself? Then maybe, just.

Otherwise, not worth it. I got my 34 auto converted to manual, it runs great but chasing the parts and even a workshop who was willing to do the conversion was a major headache. Expensive, too. Save up, sell yours, and then buy what you actually want ;)

The ENR34 GT Four manual has the same gearbox as R32/33 GTR models, which is the same as C34 AWD stageas. So it will take the same power as GTR owners are making. Someone with more experience will have to chime in, but they generally take anything up to high 300s low 400kws reliably.

I dunno about the diffs, I think the GT-four has shorter ratios....?

    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
    • These things happen And I believe "we, the people, who modify stuff, and actually use it, cannot have nice things" It's just a shame that it happened so soon after paint  I still win the award for quickly destroying newly painted panels I think, as my car came back from the paint shop all nice and shiny, until about 4 hours later when the boot was destroyed by a wayward locker that was blown around by the wind.... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and poorer.....dooh
    • This. And also, the rotor thickness is constrained by the calipers. Cannot be much thicker, if at all. Cannot be much thinner, if at all. New rotors are....fairly cheap. Turbo calipers can still be picked up for sensible money. Arguably, the best thing is to get R32 calipers and put them on mount spacers on 324mm discs. That's about the cheapest and easiest way to get quite large brakes that are essentially bolt on. And that's despite maintaining for years that the R32 calipers are not the best choice because they seem to be more flexy and creaky than the others. If you were prepared to put up with nasty little NA sliding calipers, these will still seem like Brembos by comparison.
    • A quick Google said 297mm..
    • Why would you not fit the biggest possible brakes?
