wow this car has taken a massive overhaul. its good to see that you have taken the time to fix it up and look after it. i very almost brought this car when inark had it for sale what must be a bit over a year ago now. i had only just brough my 4door when toffy decided to sell it off again and i was pretty dissapointed i couldnt get it. i to was under the impression that the manual conversion had been done in japan. i gess after reading about the things you have had to do i am kind pleased that i didnt get it as both you and toffy have thrown alot more money at it than i would have been able to. i loved the east bear tail light covers so much that i chased down a set for mine as soon as i got it.

i must say thoe its been good to be able to follow your thred and see everything that has gone on with it.

i am also about to embark on an rb25 conversion into mine as mine started life as a stock auto and i have since blow the auto box.

keep up the good work the car looks tuff. oh and why didnt you flare out the rear guards?

damo

hey mate

rear guards are flared out... just not heaps.. not easy to do on a 4 door :D

trans conversion was done by inark and his mates.. at least thats what ove been told. Anyway all the dodgyness has been fixed now :thumbsup:

Where did you get a set of the east bear tail light covers from? i brok both mine on the track... :)

hi simon

yea sorry i didnt mean to put it down its just the fronts are fat as so i didnt look to hard at the rear.

i started asking around on here and someone pointed me in the direction of a 6 month old forsale thread where some had been up for sale. i got them of giffo i think. he had them but then got series 2 four door tail lights which didnt suit the covers. he was going to fit them if they didnt sell but i got them quick smart. i payed a fair coin for them but it think it was worth it. i have been asked since where to get them but i realy dont know. i asked giffo a few times and i think he said there was another forum member that worked for a aus suplyer for east bear but when i have contacted him he said he has not been able to find them in there current stock listing.

well i just done a few quick searches but didnt come up with any other places to get them. drop gaffa a pm and ask him. he did say they were $280 out of japan plus fees and charges so they are expensive. if you are keen to get a set i could get a set made off mine if you wanted? seems there is a fair bit of interest in them.

oh where did you get your half cut from and did you look around much. and how much if you dont mind me asking. im looking around at the moment but it is gona cost me a bucket load in freight to get a half cut from the mainland.

thanks damo

geeze they are expensive hey, spewing mine broke, but i reckon i might just leave the look of the lights and just drive the thing :P

i got my package from Japanese Motorsport in adelaide... $3500 i paid, came with everything, and the motor was mint, the engine bay that it was sitting in was one of the cleanest ive seen! when i got the motor home i went right over everything and there was hardly any dirt on it, seems to be a real genuine low kms motor!

dam thats a whole 1g cheaper than anywhere elce.

do you have some contact details for them mainly an email adress?

well the offers there if you do decide to get some replacements.

www.japanesemotorsport.com

yeah replacements would be good haha... umm you know anyone who can fibreglass well? take a mould of yours and go from there... could sell em off for a fair bit too!

keep up the good work the car looks tuff. oh and why didnt you flare out the rear guards?

damo

athid from vic rolled/flared the guards damo, cost me around 1k for that and the nismo diff in memory :(

looks tuff as now btw simon :)

news flash: just got the 25 running and driveable. Ended up making tailshaft myself at the engineering workshop next door. works a treat.

couple of large issues have popped up tho... my radiator leaks, and the brand new clutch doesnt seem to grip. also my AVCR i just got doesnt work lol.

well if your keen i want to rack your brain about what problems you came across. i have been reading up on this and the 2 main probs i can see is gear box mounts and tail shaft thoe i am also unsure about the speedo side of things either. should only be a few weeks befor i realy get cracking into my conversion.

tail shaft i made my self using the front half of an R33 tailshaft and the front half of the R32 tailshaft, i cut the center bearing section off the r32 bit and then mated it up with the R33 shaft, got the engineering shop next to my work to make me a sleve to sit inside both halfs of the shaft which was a tight yet perfect fit, then i tig welded the two together.

from the centre of the uni joint to the center of the center bearing the shaft needs to be 355mm long.

as for Crossmeber i reused my R32 one, and modifed it, so i have 3 out of 4 bolts holding it in place.

Speedo im yet to figure out :P

  • 4 weeks later...

bit of an update here...

got speedo all sorted, used a navara drive and it all works sweet. Now ive got a major drama with my clutch... after doing prac night at lala it was slipping in gear and while clutching it.. and its brand new! and since then just driving on the street and up hills it slipps like hell. So im pretty annoyed that i have to take the box out again!!

other then that, it slides pretty good with the extra torque... i got myself an AVCR and tried playing with it but i found that raising the boost with the stock ECU was pointless due to rich and retard(ed) mode... but i was still able to pull 4th gear entry's into Turn 1 at mallala which is something i couldnt do with the RB20 (i've got taller diff gearing to stock also) takes a bit of getting used to thats for sure as a normal 3rd gear entry is about 140 kph where as a 4th gear entry is 160 kph... so thats 20km faster for those slow on the uptake... needless to say i looped a couple of times while dealing with the faster speeds.

Next to come is a TSL remap using RB20 ecu, i'll run stock turbo for a while, new clutch and some more suspension work and general maintenance

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
