Engine swap R34 GTT wants a R32 GTR - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

PzyDesign · 16th July 2010, 03:26 PM

Hi every one, I have tried searching on the forum but I cant find this.

I´m about to buy a R34 GTT AND a R32 GTR (but only if the switch is possible)

So I´ve got evertything I need to get this swap done.
But what do I need to modify or change?

and how difficult will it be?

you have to oversee my spelling, I´m swedish

Spelling is perfect. But your plan is not clear.

Are you planning to put the GTR engine into the GTT?

Do you want the GTT to have 4WD?

If the gtt needs to have 4wd you'll have a hell off a job, if the rb26 just needs to be in the R34 you'l be done after a hard days work

WOW, you either work very fast or have VERY LONG days, lol.

Long days Robbie...I start at 9am and by the time I quit it's 11pm...

Oh and if you wonder why all the hard work, I work on Italian supercars for a living now so I have no choice, otherwise the shop would be packed with broken horsies

sorry for that.
I want My GTT to be RWD but with a GTR engine.

I have done an RB26 into an R33GTS-t shell and then gone a lot further, it's not a bad swap. My GTS-t started life as an automatic, which added a bit more work, but it's a common enough swap, just ask if you need any help.

You need the GTT manual box, gearbox mounting flywheel, and clutch assembly on the RB26 engine, along with the RB25 sump and oil pickup and dipstick. There may be a few wiring loom jobs to do. You need the RB25 engine mounts on the RB26 and you may need to alter the front turbo water cooling hard pipe for a flexible one. There'll be other stuff I have forgotten

sweet, but how about the ECU? can I use the one from the gtt?

Darren-mac · 18th July 2010, 11:29 AM

I have a gtt and my plan was to fit the rb26 from an r32 also, but my tuner said it wouldn't be worth the hastle. I know you can squeeze more from the rb26 with less work but would this conversion really be worth while? I thought the neo engine a good improvement over the r33 rb25

No, you need the RB26 ecu.

R.I.P.S NZ · 18th July 2010, 08:07 PM

Also the RB25 sump and pickup do not bolt onto the 26, you need a custom 2wd sump specific for a 26 block along with the matching pickup, I have them in stock if you need one.
