Alright, i got the handbrake installed. the handbrake i got was from an R33 GTR and one of the brackets was at the wrong angle. luckily, working on a construction site, oxy torches are quite abundant, so a quick blast and bang with a hammer sorted it out.

it still wasn't 100%, but served it's purpose. i used about half a dozen washers underneath to get the correct height and angle from the handbrake:

now i just have to adjust the tension on the cable and i'm all set. hope this helps people. i'll update with the console pieces tomorrow and then try to install it. i don't know how it will go around an auto shifter being there still, but we'll see. it's a bit of an incentive to get the rest of it in i guess.

Here are some pictures of the manual and auto consoles compared:

from this picture you can see the manual console (on the left) is slightly longer than the auto one. it also has a spot for 2 more cup holders (which i haven't installed because the atessa computer is still in the way)

the manual is also slightly lower than the auto. this means the pocket in the console is quite a bit shallower:

the gearstick surround is also a different length, not including a recess for all sorts of knicks and knacks:

so there you have it, the manual vs auto console comparison. sorry about the picture quality, but it's easier with my phone than getting the camera out. supposed to be 2Mpixel, but it doesn't look it.

ive got one being moulded up in 2 weeks.

much cheaper than a nissan one,and saves changing alot of parts.

bracket or console?

the whole manual gearbox in a series one is starting to look more and more expensive every time i look at it

only the series 2 came with a manual option, oh and the 260RS. it's the series 2 manual console

deluxe.

is the only modification required to the console is the relocation of the ATESSA unit?

no, you need to remove a bracket that holds a mount for the auto console that isn't part of the manual console. it's got 3 spot welds, you just drill them out.

thanks, im very very close to buying a Rs4 and GTR box straight after, might look at getting the parts shipped over from NZ in the likes of the console etc, if you pay someone there to buy the parts, then they delcare them as motor spares for personal use and mark them around $150 a shipment the duty and taxes should be negligable

when doy ou think you will have photos of the console in the car?

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
