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!

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

    • Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.    
    • I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)  
    • Such a cool collection of cars back then.  
    • Mystery solved, thanks bro Bit of a strange mix, but i dont mind it, still looks good. 
    • nah no problems with bearings or hubs.  just the water pump leak and my AC death
