a few more things to add as in converting my car at the moment (not on a hoist unfortutaly)

make sure u install the brake pedal first and i did the clutch and i couldnt move the brake around enough to get it out so just ended up losening it off and unbolting the pedal itself and putting the manual pedal in the old bracket.

a realy realy super long extention is the only way u will ever get those top bolts on the gearbox out, and the starter motor in a pain for the top bolt to.

tommorow i get to take on the spigot bush...how fun

my gearbox cross memember bolted right up :S

yet i cant get the clutch to bleed

:rolleyes:

edit after 20 times or so it finaly bleed properly, now the tail shaft center bearing is screwed, should of cheaked better

yet i found out why the crossmember bolted up, looked at the tag from the halfcut, and it says the car was an auto, so it was converted in japan, so thats why it fit, someone modified it already.

More useful information (4 door conversion):

I used an S13 cross member for my conversion, bolted straight up

A thing to note, if you have a 4 door you will need to use the original Rear tail shaft section as the coup rear section is about 2 inches too long.

Both the NA RB20DE auto and RB20DE manual runs a smaller bolts between the 2 sections on the tailshaft. NA has smaller 10mm bolts and the turbo Auto and turbo Manual has 14mm bolts, also the plate sizes are different.

I ended up unbolting the Spline bolt on the front section and swapping the Plate over, so mine was turbo spec.

now i have a question, whats the best way of doing the manual loom? Cutting up an auto one? Which wires do i use at the Fuse box?

^^^

Wiring:

Ok so i got mine all sorted, The Reverse plug is the Front plug (NOT THE ONE NEAR THE SHIFTER)....just grab your old loom off the auto, cut all wires except the ones as mentioned in the first post (Hand drawn picture)....run them down to the centre plug (both wires on mine were green and black), trip them and test to see if the rear reverse lights come on when you select revers and thats about it.

the loop wire for the neutral is just on the same plug, loop the 2 wires over.

Thanks alot man, This is really helpful.

I will be doing my R32 Manual conversion soon..Just not sure if its worth doing my self. I have never done one before, but I have basic mechanical knowledge, your info cleared alot of things up.

Only pain I can think of is the clutch pedal? are the R32 ones hydrolic? or cable? is it hard to do?

Thanks a bunch for sharing mate.

Extra piece of info, you can use a S13 sr20 gearbox mount.

Its basically the same as a 32 item but backwards, ie the hump in the mount is on the other side so once you turn it round and install it backwards so the holes line up and the hump ends up being on the correct side..

You will know what im talking about when u see them.

Just starting a conversion from rb20det auto 4-door to rb25de+t with rb25det manual gearbox (yes can you choose any bigger a headfeck?).

To confirm I should just find an S13 SR20 manual gearbox crossmember for easiest mounting solution?

What do I need to get the tail shaft to be the right length?

What is the current best option for speed sensor?

Would it be better to bolt on the gearbox while it is out of the car?

Folks, one question regarding the pedals, I had a look and don't see how it's possible to take out and refit the pedals while the dash's still in.

Is there a way to put them while the dash is in?

Would love some answers today.

Cheerio

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
