if this is what you want to do mate i so go for it, don't let the haters put you off. there's plenty around.

im at the beginning of a similar but a little easier conversion, VR38 swap into my R34 gtt that just shat a built RB25/30 neo.

ill be running it in RWD only with a holinger 6 speed sequential RD6 from my previous setup.

ive done a fair bit of measuring and it should fit alright as a rwd application, as for AWD i think the motor needs to mount a fair bit higher to get the drive shafts to work (hence old mate from ukraine's one its up so high)

ive also been looking at the haltech ecu (plug and play) but a friend and pit guy for the just jap r35 is steering me towards the Motec plug and play.

im planning on running the drive by wire, will be adapting the r35 pedal and sensor to my car.

I Vote Sleek to take over this thread!!!

I bit my tongue for so long hoping, just hoping that there would be progress or photo's or something to prove he wasn't a 15 year old spastic.

Alas, I must say this thread is shit. Sleek needs to start his own build thread and move this to Wasteland so Birds and crew can at least make me laugh at shit.

Haltech cant run twin drive by wire throttles, only 1, may work if you buy 2 haltechs, one fro each bank/throttle. I know Emtron can run twin drive by wire and are an awesome ECU. Better off keeping the DBW throttles, better than going cable. I dont see you ever actually getting it done but good luck and I hope you do.

been down this road myself.

diff gears are ok. s14/15 r200 3.69:1 vq35hr awd (g35x) (same case as vr38) front diff gears 3.69:1 with a r34 getrag would be ok. some one i know went to the expense of getting albins custom 4.11 front diff gears made. why i dont know...

i wanted to go awd, but the extra weight and cost was to much.+ i wanted it to look standard on the outside with out a big bonnet hump.+ the steering rack will ruin your life.

as for a ecu,  a syvecs s6plus plug and play ecu is the way to go. or s8gtr plug and play. will do everything you ever need. + dont have to be bent over for a m package,

even with custom everything there isnt much room between the rails..

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
