Hiya all,

I have a Black '91 R32 GTS25 and the previous owner has had an Auto to manual conversion done to it. Nothing is wrong with the conversion. The gearbox is a re-cond unit and is sweet, stocky clutch is crap but the conversion was done well. The thing is it still has the Auto diff in it. Would like to know what would be the best options for it to be changed to manual gearing. Heard Pintara diff gears fit but bit weary of that option.

Also my car is subtly different to other 32's i have seen. It has Blue 'GT' badging on the sides instead of Red, Driving lights on the front bumper, ABS, Sunroof & Turbo trim in the interior. Is this a limited run model or has it just had a heap of option boxes ticked at the dealership.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thankyou

any turbo or manual diff... i gave my last one away, model number is an r200 same between 32's and 33's not sure about 34's i know the autos are geared taller so im guessing your chasing the 4.11 ratio manual version.

but be carefull with the r200 diff as there is i believe a short nosed and long nosed version

im not sure what the skylines have (i would assume long nose) but u wouldnt want to get the wrong one

(or is that with the r180 diff - i dont no - but ure best of making sure)

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
