Looking at doing the same thing myself. Looked into it a bit, u will have to fit a 3 speed shifter and then wire up the o/d somewhere. U will be able to ratchet the first 3 gears, but have to play the o/d switch for forth.

No 2 ways around this as far as i am aware.

Another thing u could do would be use a 3 speed shifter and wire up the o/d via missile switch or something.

Then u could ratchet the 1st 3 gears, but the o/d we constantly on, therefore 3 to 4th occurs automatically. Which defeats the purpose of having stage 3 if it only does some of the gears.

Had a look at a car this arvo with this set up and the owner assures me it works as its intented, an he said the o/d thing isnt that big of a drama at all.

thanks for that, where was the o/d switch placed in his car?was it relayed to the power?

Use a 3 speed B&M pro ratchet shifter with the optional button knob.

This is what I will be doing soon and should make switching to overdrive a breeze.

Here is a link to the button knob.

You can't leave 4th-o/d constantly on, as this interfears with 2nd, trust me I tried this for daily driving.

If you go stage 3, it is manual shifting all the time.. including the switch.

Trying to sell my car, but f**k it, i am gonna order this electronic lock out box in the next week or 2 and report back here.

I have a B&M megashifter, can ratchet the first 3 gears, with the O/D wired via a simple on/off switch.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
