just a word of advice

take your steering wheel off

THe same bit you use to take off the airbag module under the console, is the same type used on the side of the wheel to hold on the horn pad. then its a 21mm nut under the horn

then disconnect the two connectors and yank it off.

Well just to be careful, when I removed my steering wheel, I disconnected battery, then hit the brakes, tried turning the headlights on, to drain any residual power left in the system, then gently unplugged the airbag control unit, then unplugged the airbag, and did the reverse to hook it all back up, hooray, no airbag error light after 5secs of the car running.

Well I didn't need to anyway, I have the new brake pedal box installed and the steering wheel back together.

This is a milestone for me as I've been doing everything at night with a hand held torch. I have many cuts and bruises now.

One of the hardest thing I found to do was removing and refitting the smallest part, the saftey pin on the brake pedal to booster rod.

lol, i just turned the car off, and unpluged the airbag.....i dont think ive ever unhooked hte battery for it

and no airbag light....cause there isnt wont

Do you mean there isnt one? Yes there is, middle of the dash in the centre of the speedo.

That wasn't too bad for me. They hardest bit I found was getting that top bolt back into the pedal box. It took me about half an hour just to get that in. apart from that, I found that once you've undone all the bolts you can twist the whole steering column to get the bracket out of the way, and then the pedal box goes in really easily. I wish I'd figued it out while I was taking the old one out.... oh well, we live and learn

I got my clutch in the other night, but forgot to stick a picture up. I managed to install the master cyliner, then realise I'd forgotten to put the clutch line in, which wasn't possible to install with the master cylinder in. So out it came, I put the line in an then back it went. All one now, however the engine is in pieces and I'm short a turbo, so no gearbox yet :D

Well I know it's not directly related to the Manual conversion,but I got my new turbo in last night. First time it seems really hard, but if I had to do it again it would be so much easier now I figured out the hard bits.

I'm going to clean up the gearbox next, then next week some time book her in for a gearbox swap!

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
