I need some tips please guys.

I'm converting my PNV r30 coupe to manual as i've finally found everything I need.

How do i get the bits out of the manual r30? Do i have to get the dash out to get the pedal box out? Any suggestions on driveshaft and clutch etc?

just general not R30 specific

tailshaft is easy, 4 bolts on the diff, use 2 spanners. if its got a centre bearing unbolt that and slide it out of theback of the gearbox

drain the clutch lines via the bleed valve (or unbolt the line) on the clutch slave, unbolt it from the bellhousing

undo any earth wires, reverse swicth wires, ect going into the box. make sure you get all of them

unbolt the shifter linkage, youll probably have to take out the centre concole and the shifter boot. might also get away with not having to unbolt it.

start undoing the bellhousing bolts, using lots of extentions.

undo the gearbox Xmember bolts. this is where it gets dangerous as the box is only supported by the input shaft

everything unbolted and out of the way, slide the box back and once the shaft is free, drop it out. if its a smaller box you should be able to lift it yourself, but it sucks doing it on the ground!

umm clutch stuff unbolt the master from the firewall (careful of spilling fluid) and unbolt the linkage. then shove yourself doen under the dash and get the pedal out and stuff out

thanks

They're pretty damn heavy. We used two jacks and three people to be safe. It was easy enough, just keep the box stable as you lower it down. You might want to unbolt one of the front wheels so that you can get the box out easily once removed.

Sure you've got everything you need?

I got it out.

I got:

Gearbox

Pedal box

Clutch Cylinders

Front and rear driveshafts

This driveshaft cage

Gearbox crossmember

i jsut have to get a clutch and flywheel (sorting that out now).

DO you guys reckon it'll be possible to install the manual box with the car on axle stands?? I'll be doing it as soon as i get my clutch and flywheel.

Also, the plug that goes to the loom on the manual. I noticed my auto has the same plug. Will that be all plug & play??

We did the whole thing with axle stands. It was a pity fiddly getting the box fitting onto the spline but realised to get the teeth fitting it was easiest to have one person moving the shaft atthe back of the box at the same time as wiggling the box in. Sorry if that's a poor explanation.....

Got spigot bush?

I get what you mean about wiggling the box on and moving ths shaft at the same time to get it to line up etc?

Spigot bush...shit...

Where does the spigot bush go??

Sweet i know. :-) Stagefumer jogged my memory.

I'll see if i can get one when i get my clutch tomorrow.

What about the FLYWHEEL, I don't see that on your list George.

what - turn the bushes upside down? hehe

That's the one Harry, but different to stagefumer, by turning the bushes 180 degrees in the shift lever, it actually shortens the throw inside the gearbox, whereas just shortening the length of the lever does nothing to the shift travel.

Does exactly the same thing in our R30's that $150 plus does to S13 & R31/32 etc.

Cheers, D

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
