Hey Guys, 

I have an R34 GT Four RB25DE NEO that I recently purchased. I have purchased a C34 Stagea RS Four engine (RB25 NEO DET AWD), front diff and shafts complete with turbos, harness and ECU. 

Has anyone else done a similar conversion as I have a few questions ?

1) Any issues with adapting the DET ECU to existing harness or additional modifications to the harness required.

2) Will the diff and front shafts all bolt up fine. 

I'm picking up the engine this afternoon and just thought I would ask in advance.

Cheers

Will (Imtorqing)

There's almost no differences in the dirty stuff down low (driveshafts, etc).

Is it an auto or manual? If auto, there's possibly a whole range of things that will leap up to bite you on the arse. I think the auto TCU is a separate box on the NAs, whereas it is integrated in the ECU on the turbos.

Do not put the DET ECU into it and attempt to hook it up to the old loom. Pull the NA engine look out all the way from the ECU and replace with the DET engine loom.

The Stagea front (and rear) diffs are 4.111

I believe your R34 DE is 4.363 so you will need to (preferably) get a 4.1 rear end for your car or use your front diff in the stagea sump.

The previous owner converted the car to RWD(God knows why), and put a RWD sump on it by the looks (Removed Shafts etc.) Its also been converted to Manual with a R32 GTR Box so shouldn't be an issue there. 

I have taken delivery of the crate engine today which has all the wiring harness all to the ECU so no probs I will pull the NA harness out and put the DET harness and ECU in as by the sounds of it that will be alot easier. 

Ill have a look at the rear diff also to see what ratio it chirped the right tyre when I turned into my driveway so I haven't inspected what has been done to that. 

Cheers for the help

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
