Just thought I should mention to people that are looking at undertaking a manual conversion; don't get caught up worrying about having to heavy a clutch pedal without the boosted clutch master cylinder, its not needed. I had a push type before & I now have a pull type gearbox running just a stock R34 un-boosted clutch pedal & its perfect for everyday driving - not heavy at all :P

If you don't get a reply just google "electronic speedometer drive for R32 gearbox" or something like that . As for wiring apart from the speed signal which is obvious there is just the reverse ligh

Make sure you get an awd box! Top up fluids and bleed - nothing special to do.

It's easy to find where the clutch master cylinder goes, it's right behind the foot handbrake, theres a plate with the holes in it, and you can clearly see where the holes are. You just have to drill them through the firewall. Will post a pic later tonight.

I've just been told my girlfriends car won't be fixed until end of May, so until I get that car to drive, I can't start my conversion.... damn you bastards who can start already, I even have all the bits I need!

Just getting a clutch line made up to suit R33 GTR slave and R34 GTT master, how long is a standard clutch line for a skyline?how long have you guys made your lines? Any help appreciated.

mine came with all the lineage and everything

but i do have a few questions

If you use hte Autech Manual power line (that goes from teh battery, to the alternator, to the starter back) It has like 4 or 5 plugs less than the auto one

why? (ill find out tomorrow if it will start up without them)

also, you can use the bracket off the old tranny tunnel from a manual, it just takes some work

took me about an hour to remove the bracket. but it works with some 10mm bolts holding it on.

im just worried about all the plugs left over that arent used, or no plugs for places there were

That is the last peice I need for my conversion

Maybe we should get 2 made?

I have the same set up as yours

There will be a few plugs not used which are below the battery, this was the wiring for the auto control. The only two that are used are the one at the top, which you just put a jumper in (two pin plug) which is the starter inhibit. and the grey one below it which you use three pins, one for supply to your neutral and reverse switches and the return from your tranny switches, If you need some pics, should be able to help out.

If you added the loom from the manual to the existing wiring, it will have all the plugs for oil pressure, knock sensors etc, which might explain the left over plugs.

Have you got pics and would a series 2 be the same?

the thing the i dont get is, why dont people just buy a manual instead of an auto? by the time you F($k around it will cost you not much of a diffr\erence and save you the hassels!! Fair enough if you are mech minded but stil its a big job say 2-3days full day job to do it. How much is that for your own labor where you can go work an earn some more cash?

but thats my 2cent worth.

That would take all the fun (or frustration?) away from the whole experience, Yudi.

Also, Brendan (beastien), Grant (yokota13) and Leshy (Terminal) all own series 1 Stageas, which weren't available as RB25DET manuals...

I'm lucky, I bought mine already converted.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
