I am running a fairly high power R33 GTS-t with Apexi RX-6 turbo, cams, injectors, low comp pistons and Apexi FC. I am now building a serious RB26 all steel single turbo (TO4Z) engine. I use the R33 GTS-t as a daily driver and would like to put this new engine in a later, different chassis, so it will have to be an R34 GTT. What issues am I looking at with this swap? Any sump issues, was hoping to use my cut about GTR cast sump (diff hacked off and made into a more basic, deep sump extension, 2WD one). What am I missing, I am not very familiar with the 2WD R34 models.

Thanks

Hiya mate - "Driver" on here is also doing a RB26 conversion if you want to PM him but here's my list

Sump - You've already took the front diff off your GTR sump so that shouldn't be a problem.

Wiring - The Engine to ECU loom is a fairly straight swap but the dash/stereo/lights etc wiring uses different plugs (if it's a R33 GTR engine, not sure about R34 one) so thats a fair amount of re-wiring.

FMIC Pipes - might need some altering to fit the GTT holes but you shouldn't find that a problem

Battery - Into the boot

Washer bottle - Rich mentioned that the bottle might have to be changed for access

You've got some fabricating but other than that it's really only the wiring thats a nightmare.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
