there is probably a specific seal part, there is on the gtr and navara....i dont have one yet either.

problem is if you go silicone you need to be able to remove it again, the factory ones are a rubber seal with a bracket that screws into chasis

Yeah I think that a bit too much of the transmission tunnel was cut away to fit m gearstick in, so I don't know if the part will fit. I'll try and get one anyway, I'm sure I can fit it somehow.

Anywho, the car drives much better with the manual in, I'm so excited. all I need now is to fix the R&R problem I'm having due to my new turbo.

Hey Darrin, I bought a brand new S2 Stagea handbrake lever, through japanparts.com. Was around $140, and another thing, I've enquired about stagea parts through Nissan Aus, and they've told me they're not available, then I've enquired with japanparts.com, and they've been able to supply them.

I'd give them a try, takes no longer than through nissan aswell, bout 2 weeks.

S2 handbrake P/N: 36010-0V705

36010-0V705 is no longer available, so I have order 36010-0V700 which is suppose to be the same or very similar for a stagea after 10/98

I have order thru japanparts as Nissan aust do not have a listing or pricing for these parts.

Does the series 1 have a hole at all to start with, or did you need to make the existing hole bigger?

I removed my series 2 tiptronic selector last night and there was what looks like a big enough hole already for the manual gearbox. Also the 4 bolts holes that hold the selector in place line up with the manual rubber boot around the gearstick perfectly.

Ah! that's the part I need! I'm just using some rubber I got from Clarks and some silicone to fix it, I don't think I need a boot that hefty.

This is a boot out of a skyline. All skyline's and silvia's are the same so you can use either one

Terminal, did you have to cut the floor???

Yeah mine had to be cut, so I don't think that boot would fit unless I welded in another piece of metal as Brendan describes. I'm not too fussed on that 'factory' look for my conversion so I'm just going to cover it with some rubber and sound deadening. It's all covered by the console anywho :)

I've just looked through my emails from when I purchased mine, and 36010-0V700 is what I ended up with, it's the replacement for the part number 36010-0V705.

It fits perfect with no problems at all.

got mine back this morning, and it is great to drive.....so much more fun with the bloody auto gone.

The clutch is shuddering a bit I hope that is just the old flywheel i used, but otherwise it is sweet to drive now.

Only one real problem, the handbrake I have sits too low in the console - need to raise it by prolly 1cm so it sits right. Otherwise everything is sweet

well had even more fun today, we knocked out about 25 laps of wakefield park this afternoon, some in the damp, some dry. Gary's suspension is excellent but these cars really need more power than standard. Manual gearbox was beautiful.

But it was a pain in the arse to get moving for hill starts when I was towing the GTR yesterday.....price you pay I guess

Man, I'm hanging to get out on the track in the car, but I want to have all my gauges in first and at least get the suspension mods started. Maybe for the Texikhana I'll be ready... I might have even put the front split/dump pipe on.

Hahaha, as for the towing with the manual, you know what Gary's gonna say...

lol he's already said it, he was there with Matt's gtst yesterday :P Best lap I did was a 1.20, it would have had a 1.18 in it if I could have put together a clean lap....but thats still 3-4 sec slower than an equivalent gtst...you can really feel the extra weight.

  • 3 weeks later...

Got my manual gearbox in last night. (what a pain in the arse. The box I have used is a 93-94 32gtr pull type box which has a speedo cable drive.

The Stagea and r33 GTR box uses a electronic speedo drive.

Most people here have used a R32 box in their conversion, so what electronic drive have you used

The auto stagea electronic drive will not fit.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
