Well ive decided that soon im going to be doing a manual conversion on my R34 and do away with the tiptronic. Im just wondering if anyone knows a bit about whats involved and what sort of price i should be looking at. Also where could i get it done.

I know that JDM recently had it done so if you could give me a bit of help it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Give all automotive import spares in QLD a ring they always have a couple of boxes hanging around. You will need the box, tailshaft, lines, lume, master cylinder etc etc. But they will sell it to you as a conversion kit. You are better off gettinga r34 one as the 33 box will fit but you have to get everything else made up such as tail shaft lume etc.

Take it to Steve at JAZMAC he did mine and has done all sort of conversions they guy is awsome. And he also knows your car i took it there when my girl was looking at buying it.

I can't remember the price but it was something between 3-4K all up with new clutch.

Deff take it to steve at JAZMAC though 83916200

i wouldnt have a clue what kind out box is in it!!!!!!!!!!!!! all i know it was gonna cost an extra $3000 but i made sure i got it included in the $20,000 that i paid all up. :P

I joke becasue i love. Your car is hot for sure!

Here you go champ

Just ask for a R34 manual conversion kit, i'm sure they will have one, or if not they can get one very quickly. Lots of the QLD boy use this place they put me onto them.

Then to instal you can't go past

Best of luck man, you will really tell the difference.

i am glad that my boyfriend persuaded me to get her converted to manual, i wasnt going to..........but im pretty glad i did :P

certaintly worth it.

only thing is still have the tiptronic steering wheel, and there is wiring that is bundled up underneath the car and behind the stereo head deck, but they changed the dash cluster which was nice of them

I still have the steering wheel.

Only bad thing about changing the dash is you don't know how many kms it's done. Unless you knew before which you most prob did.

the first pics ive got got of the car it is still an auto tiptronic, but somehow they have managed to get the same km's on the new cluster. dont ask me how!!!!!!!

i didnt know how many km's where on the new cluster though

i kno steve at JAZMAC, nice guy, tells you everything and no bullshitin around.

ive done a few manual conversions...never on a 34 but the same procedure applies.....whoever you get to do it...make sure they know about the AUTO SPIGOT BUSH needs to be replaced with the MANUAL SPIGOT BUSH. sometimes people forget this causing grinding noises, hard shifting and in some cases a f**ked input shaft. So they end up spending another day pullin the box out again.

cant blame you, mine had 52 xxx on it sitting over in japan, there must be some way of getting the odo the same as the auto one....maybe ask nissan perhaps???????????

they probably only changed the shell not the whole dash

all u need is a manual dash cover just get one from ebay and put it over ur existing auto dash

i bought a faulty manual dash for mine and changed the cover over no worries

or else make a brush metal plate to go over it like the gtrs do

BTW japanese motorsport just got an r34 turbo cut in lastweek? think it was manual not 100% sure

it had the factory option momo wheel on it so someone could use it instead of their auto one

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
