correct, and yes ive had plenty of issues over the years doing the manual conversion and gtr diff/axles/uni joints, brakes, fuel system etc because no one has done it on a stagea before that i could speak to anyway.

oh the joys of pioneering ;)

BUT i did find out

that you can use an s14 diff, and change the input shaft for hte driveshaft(if comes off with a 23mm i think nut and some banging) and it bolts right in, supposedly

heres a couple of pics of the recessed booster and i always say do things once and do em right, i dont replace broken bits with the same bits (except maybe gtr gearboxes because gearsets, etc are soo $$$)

i broke an axle with 350rwhp so that aint exactly heaps of power to be snapping things, andf it wasnt even a launch it was a roll on in 1st gear, just coming on boost

I'll have to check if my master cylinder has been recessed - I've never bothered or though to check it before...

Once again, I'm glad I bought my car already converted to manual.

yeah i was missing the recess thing in my kit then

ill just get an r33 pedal and benchbleed my master and it should work

the recess part that the booster sits in doesnt come from nissan, its part of the firewall on autech models, so we made our own out of 4' pipe and some other metal and abit welding and it looks neat and pretty hard to notice with the engine in

well, the autech works kinda if i put soem spacers in there, the clutch arm is lined up adn has full travel, adn isnt binding....so it works for now

Yes. The Autech pedal combined with a RWD Nissan Master Cylinder (ie S14, Navara etc) & the appropriate length internal shaft for the Cylinder (S14 is correct anyway) + a Factory Nissan Spacer from like a Primera will do the trick. Just means it will be unboosted but realistically my RB26 is unboosted & its a pull type & its fine to drive everyday in traffic.

OK, a small update

THe R33 Master and slave work on my Autech box.

you have to flip the slave over, and add some washers to space it from the body, but it works

I have yet to try the slave that came with the autech setup. i will eventually, but this is workign for now.

pedal feel with a single plate exedy is great@!

ok...so quick question - i have a mate who has done an auto to manual conversion on his 33 4 door and he had to change his rear diffs so that the final drive ratio was similar (IE: the auto had a different ratio to the manual - and so to avoid sitting on 3500rpm at 100km/h down the highway in 5th, he changed the rear diff)

so how come some people are able to change just the box - leave the diffs the same, and no problem whatso-ever.... or have i just read 50+ pages of conversion guide wrong - I can only think that this is another reason behind changing the entire driveline at the same time.

LOL

So after the conversion it revs like a mofo on crack?... (AKA - my mate was right) - I just want to ascertain that if i do a manual conversion, will i need to change my rear diff (and subsequently my front diff) if i want it to operate as a daily driver with unpsycho final drive ratios.

Thanks blokes.

    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 馃
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
    • And we shall have to presume that Canada is the same?
    • In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.
    • I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
