Hey,

This is message to all those out there looking for a manual conversion. I used a guy called Peter King who previously operated under the name defiant motorsport he does lots of 2jz conversions into things like s13's and hiluxes he also does manual conversions. The conversion took about 1.5 days as he picked it up off me sunday late Sunday afternoon and had it ready about 12 Tuesday morning.

About 8:30 i got a call saying that he thought one on my coolant bungs was leaking at the back of the block so at no cost me to he pulled the gearbox and tailshaft back out only to realise its not leaking and then had it ready and dropped it off to me at about 12 on Tuesday. It cost $500 + parts which is good value considering that GTAuto wanted $5k to do the conversion.

He really is a great guy to deal with and always willing to go the extra mile to make the customer happy.

If anyone wants his details let me know and i can pass them on

Same here Waz.

As much as I wish mine was manual I just can't justify spending the money on it... at the moment anyway.

Have seen a bit of Peters work and have been surprised on all occasions. Especially what used to be NIS25 (RB25 powered AE86).

Lee's gone manual...

WOOT WOOT...

YEHAR...

Congrats dude... Its like getting a new car...

It sure is like getting a new car plus all the extra torque is always welcome but the clutch is going to take a bit of time to get use to as my left leg is a bit weak from all those years of driving a auto

you better hide when the new GTR comes then...

seriously every second person mouths off about auto's but how many of them actually driven an auto skyline? given the hostility in the tone of your response, i would say you don't. not the same as jumping into an auto falcadore

having personal experience with owning an auto skyline with 2800rpm high-stall and shift kit, i can say that the gearbox is amazing, and the shifts are incredible. well worth it for 1K including parts and labour.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
