I just finish my conversion on my 4 doors Skyline, the only problem I have is the TCS and SLIP light is on permanent as well, please help! Beside that my 4 doors goes like hell and burn out like crazy, I wish I did it long ago, my one is totally stock but man! The fun factor is indescribable.

I did the reverse light wiring as per the giude at the start. are the pic's not working?

Speedo wiring is just wired the speedo sensor from the box to the old one, the plugs where different but just got a new water proof plug from auto one and wired it in, doesnt matter which wire goes to which.

Hey mate! I had to pay a guy I know to short out the electrical side, but still he manage to everything else except for the TCS/traction, so in the end I do not want him to charge me an arm for f**king around any longer, I just took out the lights so I don't have to see those anymore, but who care, the manual supposed for slide, spin and burn out right?

I have just attempted to wire up my reverse lights exactly as described in this "how to" and got nothing... does anyone have any clues as to how it's done?

I followed - one wire coming off reverse switch connects to one grey wire and one black with pink wire from auto loom and the other wire goes to the red wire on the auto loom... but yeah, lights didnt work.

Hey this is a great DIY! Just curious... none of my laptops show any of the pictures? I really need them? Is there a way I can get the photos?

I am attempting this same conversion next week! Pictures would be a GREAT help!!

I'm just puting RB25Det Neo6 to Nissan Patrol Y61 (GU) manual. I've got Auto Ecu and engine loom from Stagea. I removed abs/tps and other unnecessary (I hope) plugs from the engine loom.

Can you tell me - should I connect Ecu Pin 39 park/neutral position signal to something (what - which Ecu pin etc.) or leave it alone. There are no wires (mentioned in this topic - black with a pink stripe and grey. These two wires need to be joined to make the car think its in neutral, thus letting you start the car in my loom. So what I have to do with Ecu pin 39.

In the Skyline service manual I have read that on Park/Neutral position there is - 0 Volts on this Ecu Pin and on Drive position there is 4,7V.

So I think I can leave it without any wiring to start the engine - am I right. Greetings.

Ok I'm looking to do this conversion sometime in the near future (R34 GTT Tiptronic sedan) and need to start collecting parts.

Can someone who's done this confirm if this is a complete list of everything:

  • Clutch (new, to suit box) with lines, master and slave cylinders, reservoir, pedal
  • Flywheel (machined) with bolts
  • Gearbox (turbo R33 or R34) with bolts, rubber and mounts, sandwich plate, sensors
  • Manual spigot bush
  • Pedals: clutch, brake, assembly
  • Shifter
  • Tailshaft (front part, R33 or R34 should do)

From this thread and elsewhere my understanding is that Auto ECU will be fine (mine's got Nistune so I don't want to have to redo that) and there's no need to change instrument cluster, steering wheel, or diff either - does that sound right?

Also, is there such a thing as a trans cooler for/with the manual gearbox? If so, can I just re-plumb the existing auto trans cooler for this, or no? (I've got a slightly bigged Davies Craig unit).

Thanks!

Don't buy a clutch until you know which gearbox your getting, as the R34 is a pull type clutch.

I'd recommend trying to get everything from the one car if possible.

As for the tranny cooler, put it on EBay. Manuals don't run coolers. Theoretically you could set anything up, but,too much dicking around with finding a spot to draw from, fittings, lines & then there's the matter of a pump.

Of course, makes sense. I'm keen on getting an R34 box to have all parts from the same era, although clutches will be more expensive: ~$600 R33 vs. ~$750 for an NPC organic that should hold around 300rwkw.

That's a good point. If possible, I'd also prefer a recent part-out as opposed to having had the parts sitting on the shelf for months/years.

Thanks for the tip, good to know!

Anytime.

The NPC single plate organic isn't too bad, I've just ticked over 2,000km on mine, with nowhere near 300wkw.......yet!

These clutches are re-stickered Exedy units, so, shop around!

    • Euros are shitboxes man. My next car going to be a Lexus or Hyundai.
    • Maybe I used the wrong sandwich plate as well. Used one piece instead of two piece.  
    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.
