Hey, Just wondering I have a non turbo, auto r34 skyline and am going to do a De+t, now I know people generally dont think its a good idea but Im doing it anyway so constructive advice is welcome. I already have a det auto gearbox, yes its staying auto for certain purposes, my question is will the det gearbox mount to the box without any crazy modification. Also can I put a Det neo head on the existing de block, torque it down and run standard Det intake and exhaust gear, low boost (yeah I know about the De pistons) something like a nistune, will it after a tune run okay enough to daily? If I dont go high psi I wont blow it up? And Yes brakes and suspension will be done.

Thanks

I know its going to be saying something that you note as having already considered. But that you are considering it (a DE+T and with head transplant to boot) im sure you must not have considered all the elements associated with it...

Please keep reading about the cons of a DE+T until you have realised its not worth it.

Otherwise, on a positive angle, if it is about the enjoyment of working on cars and making them better then consider getting a cheap GTS-T and modifying it. If you are doing a lot of the work yourself then this will also be an enjoyable process and also one that doesn't have to be too expensive...

I have done this as I had a bit of a oopsy with the old head. I have to say, it is not 'cheap' :) but it does work. I'll post up after first start and let you know how it goes. It does retain high compression, which is great for e85 applications, not so good for unleaded.

I would have thought the gearboxes were the same so no need to change. You should be fine so long as you know its all in the tune - make sure you get a good RB experienced tuner. You should probably (don't know for sure) get an auto DET ecu with a Nistune chip ...but if you run an aftermarket boost controller the loom should probably be ok,

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
