I bought my car when S2 Stageas were not available in Australia. I've done a fair amount of work to it already, so I didn't want to buy a stock S2 manual and have to start again. my conversion was meant to happen last year but other circumstances have come into play.

Darrin, who are Maltech? I was just going to get a local brake/clutch specialist to make one for me, but if you know where to get them for $85 can you let me know? I'll definately be interested to get one for that price (Stock Nissan ones are around $300)

Or this is one of their ads on NS, plus Performancewise on the site can arrange

When ordering, he will need to know waht master ans which slave is used, aswell as the direct the line comes out of the master, which for a r34 GTT one they come out the bottom. Some other skyline masters come out the side.

Just give him call to order

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.

no, they dont

If you lay the manual and auto harness side by side

RIght where the alternator branches out (or maybe the starter) there are 4 plugs on the auto version,

i removed the auto to put in the manual like i always do, and im missing a few plugs.

WHo needs sensors anyways

and yes, pics woudl be great

if i can get a pic of hte three wire setup he did, ill be done with the wiring

my tranny is back in, all i have left is pedals, i had to wait so oi can buy some more hole saws

it shoudl be done tomorrow

so where do these wires go to?

the neutral, power, and reverse

BTW if you dont bridge that connection, the engine just turns over constantly lol

Also, an RB26DETT Clutch master cylinder WILL NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you need an RB20, or RB25 clutch master cylinder, the 26 has a booster thing on it, and it wont fit...luckily i found one at a local shop for 3,000 yen

You have two switches on the gearbox, two wires for each. Connect one wire from each switch to the power pin in the plug, then the other two wires coming back from the switches go to the reverse and neutral pins.

here's another one, 260's must really be starting to hit the wrecking yards in Japan now (which is good news for all us humble RS4 drivers :closedeyes: ). Doesn't look as complete as the one grant got though.

yeah I think (going by how most of the people here have done the conversion) you'd be better off and cheaper to source the parts seperately here is Australia due to the freight costs in getting it all back here. Probably just use the Yahoo auctions to find a centre console! Which looks like it might become easier now

my gtr master cylinder worked fine if u cut a 4' hole in the firewall and recess the booster, sure is nice to have vacuum assisted clutch when using a super heavy clutch :closedeyes:

same as autech is how i did mine, except mine looks a damn sight neater than the autech hackjob i seen

i didnt move my brake booster at all, it fits fine just like the autech. i got a photo somewhere ill have to try and dig up :bunny:

the vacuum assist part is recessed 40mm into the firewall so only the master itself sticks out next to the brake booster

Edited by overpowered
but hten the pedal would be too close right?

i dunno, the 260rs pedal doesnt really fit perfect, i had to kind of make it work with some spacers and stuff

thats the thing.. i got a gtr master and vacuum assist setup and a 260rs pedal and pedal box, so that means the pedal is meant to be recessed in 40mm like the autech (same as gtr's as well) and why yours infact needs spacers to make up the extra 40mm :bunny:

my pedals line up spot on as they should

Edited by overpowered

Piss!!!

that explains it!!

SO i need to get an R33 pedal then....

i hate being the only person on base that has done this, noone knows anything.

And the shop i go to has never done one either lol

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
