Got my box!(r33sII) A step closer to a manual conversion.

Are the tail shafts the same length for a manual r33sII and an r34 one?.

i know the wheel base of a 33 is longer than the 34

So which do i get?.. an r33 tailsaft or an r34?.

what mods are involved if i get the 33 shaft?

I have just finished my conversion on my r33, from what i hear u will probley have to fit the r33 manual yoke(gearbox end) onto the r34 manual tailshaft. Also (couple of other suprises i got) if you have abs, just check if the manual tailshafts are different lengths because the r33 ones are different. also check to see if the instrument cluster is compatable. on r33 the auto has a two pulse setup and the manual has four so if u try use the auto cluster it runs at half speed on the speedo eg doing 100 km/h shows 50km/h on speedo. if you have anymore questions just pm me and i may be able to help you :laugh:

Ok thanks PAL, So i guess its a case of try this and try that.

I'll give it a try, But if there's anyone out there that has done a manual conversion on an r34 and knows exactlly what is needed your info would much be appreciated.

Thanks

    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
