There is a hole in the floor pan for the cable, but it has a little metal plate tack welded on (i managed to twist it off with pliers/screwdriver). The plate is sealed up with a big chuck of some plastic sealant stuff.

Use an R32 handbrake lever.

Unfortunately it isn't the same as the skyline console, though I have seen photos/heard people using skyline (r32 and R33) center consoles to surround the handbrake.

I'd suggest using a cefiro/laurel console otherwise you'll have to modify the skyline one to make it fit.

parts for 5stud conversion and brake upgrade (not sure if ur doing this part but i dont know why you wouldnt). This is what i did but other combos have been used.

Brake Master Cylinder BM44 off r32 gtst skyline

s14 front hubs and Lower control arms

front r33 gtst calipers and discs

Rear r33 hubs and discs and calipers.

Swap the a31 handbrake cable over in the hubs as the r33 is too long. The handbrake drum setup are exactly the same.

also look at getting new brake lines from the arch to the caliper all round as the r33 ones work but dont hook up to things the same way as the originals so will wear alot more.

cheers

5 stud wheels

If money is tight, you can use R32 hubs/brakes on the rear (again use the A31 handbrake cables), and R32/S14 calipers/discs on the front S14 hubs.

Though I would recommend using the R33 brakes considering the weight of the Cefiro.

Auto console won't fit a manual handbrake lever unfortunately, you'll have to do a bit of hunting for a manual one.

As for seatbelts, I've heard maxima belts fit (read the parts compatibility guide topic).

I had a factory Auto with footbrake, converted to manual, but the center console, now with a handbrake has the 2 switches, "Power/Hold" and Electric Arial. I think you might be ok as long as you haven't bid on a console with the footbrake release.

The manual console has space for two switches on it, normally one would be for the aerial and the other would be blanked off.

Mine was missing the blank, so I filled it with the power/hold switch from when I had the auto.

I tried hacking mine to make it fit, you have to cut a fair bit. You can do it, but it's not very stylish.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
