R34 Gt Questions

I've been looking at some upgrades for my GT,


From what i can see there is some differences between mine and the GTT model.


Coilovers - mine are eye type rather than fork type in the GTT, have been reading coilovers for an R33 GTST Are the ones to get for my car is this correct?


Adjustable arms - are any of the other suspension arms and components different in mine compared to the GTT, For example adjustable camber arms I've been looking at.


Diff - I've also been looking at specifically a Kaaz 2 way diff, is the the diff housing the same and i can just purchase a 2 way for a GTT for my car?


Driveshafts/brakes - are these also the same between the two model's? maybe the best thing is to grab a complete rear subframe with brakes and all arms from a GTT and put it in my car and then use the proper r34 coilovers.


Any help is greatly appreciated

All of this information is already available on these forums. By searching.

But for nom nom spec spoonfeeding value.....

Coilovers. Yes.

Arms. All the same.

Diff. All R200 housings will swallow all R200 centres, with only a few confusing exceptions that you won't have to worry about.

Driveshafts. No. You have 6 bolt (3x2) axles, the same all all the shittier Skylines and Silvias. Turbo Skylines have 5 bolt flanges and tougher CVs. GTRs have beefy 6 bolt flanges and are tougher again.

Brakes. No. NAs have shitty sliding caliper brakes. GTTs have opposed pistons. You wouldn't put the rear brakes from a turbo on a car that has NA brakes at the front. But you can fairly freely swap all of them. Note that R34s have bigger caliper bolts than all earlier Skylines, which will make it harder to mix/match outside of the 34 breed.

Oh i have been searching, but as i'm sure your well aware there is a million different posts on a hundred forums all with conflicting answers so its nice to get a knowledgeable answer to a specific question, :happy:

Plan is to swap over as much as the good stuff as i can, that would include the full brake setup. Best bet seems to be to find everything from the back end of the GTT in one go and get it all in there. Since i do plan on an eventual engine swap id like to make sure everything else is prepared first and doesn't start to fall apart with the extra power.

Buy gtt. Job done.

If that was an option i wouldnt be asking these question's. :no:

Would i be correct in saying if i grab myself, hub's, break setup, driveshafts and rear diff from the gtt i can go ahead and bolt these into my subframe without issue?

Where the propshaft bolt's too the diff is the same or different again?

Also, there are possibly a couple of traps for you here. I know that GTT diffs have 2 code rings for the ABS/traction control. One on each output shaft. What I do not know is whether the NA diffs have these, of if they have a single rear sped sensor off the side of the housing like some of the earlier/shittier offerings from Nissan. Or if they have none. I'm guessing none is not really an option as most of these cars should at least have had ABS.

The reason that this is important is that you can't change the sensor arrangement for the ABS/TCS computer. It will have a panic attack.

Please take some photos of the rear end of your car (from underneath) if you want any advice on which of a couple of options is the best for you to go forward with.

Tailshaft same.

As I said above, and just in case you were still considering it.....do not put rear turbo brakes on unless you do the fronts too.

Frank. What country are you in?

No the plan is to swap everything over, i wouldnt be putting on the rears without the front's. Ill grab a couple pictures of underneath for you tomorrow.

Im in ireland. Appreciate the help.

Good stuff. Get as much detail on the diff housing as possible. In particular where the driveshafts connect to the flanges on the sides (where 2x speed sensors would be), the right hand side of the housing (where a single speed sensor would be), whether or not it has a rear anti-roll bar, and any other detail you can capture.

The other trap that just occurred to me is that your NA rear subframe probably doesn't have HICAS. The GTT subframe will. HICAS is gayer than a Liberace performance, so you definitely do not want that. It may in fact be smarter to retain your NA subframe. On my R32 I went to the trouble of getting a non-HICAS subframe so I could do a total HICAS delete.

Ok until i can get it onto a lift I've got some questionable shots of underneath.

What i can see:

- No hicas.

- No arb.

- single speed sensor on right hand side is where it should be.

- 6 bolt shafts as you said.

Best i can do for now are these:

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
