R33 Manuel Conversion

[nismo z-tune]

hey guys,

i don't know if there's already a thread on this or not but i have a 1994 r33 gts-t auto and am realy wanting to converting it to a manuel. i was thinking bout a 6-speed over the 5-speed. will the 6-speed box fit and i was wondering if there is any recommended places to get the required peices for the conversion. any help on this would be great. i'm realy getting bored of the auto. it's realy not for me.

cheers,

I looked into it and it was VERY VERY expensive to convert it to a 6 speed. It was actually cheaper to go to a 6 speed toyota box then to go with a nissan one. I wanted to upgrade from the Auto too but I went for a ride in an R33 with a "tricked up" auto box with a manual valve body and it launched harder then most of the manual ones I have been in (keeps boost through gear changes). It would be cheaper to rebuild the auto and then to convert it to a manual.

But if you really want to convert it then you will need lots of new items. Make a list first of all the new parts needed to convert it over.

Here are a few things you will need;

Gearbox

Gearbox crossmember

Tailshaft

pedal assembley

clutch master cylinder

clutch slave cylinder

clutch

flywheel

bell housing

center console

dash cluster

computer

some fluid lines

manual spigot bush

I dont think that this is all but the majority of the parts needed, best of getting a manual box that you know is good, maybe a recent rebuilt one or a new recond one.

hope that helps
