All you people who have had r33's converted from auto to manual where did you take it to get it done? how much did it cost etc?

i just contacted a workshop near me and i got quoted what i thought was a ridiculous price

anyone here that would like to do it for me? :P

failing that does anyone have a r33 auto box lying around they would like to sell me? my auto is shiftkitted and i dont mind it to much and would rather fix it cheaply than pay $3000000 for a manual conversion

Thanks alot

Steve

hahah, well obviously it wasnt quite that much :blink:

with the quote i had plus buying the parts it would come close to $4000

found a few quotes quite a bit cheaper now, but its still much more expensive then finding a new auto box and swapping over the shift kit

just cant decide what to do :P

i really do wish i had a spare 3000000 lying around though :glare:

For $300000 you could jack up the windscreen wiper and replace the car... :D

Parts being:

haha no problem man. Just pick your time as I will be in Mt Isa until Feb-Mar09.

other then that let me know if you want info on what you may need, can probably help you out with a list, as can Zennon.

yeah i'd suggest getting all 4 wheels on proper wheel ramps ie

thats what i did when i pulled my gee-box out (3 times :O)

+1 for wheel ramps...would need the car stands and jacks for the gearbox inserting.

Nope - not me - I just pulled out gearbox - got it rebuilt - chucked in light weight flywheel and new clutch and then chucked box back on

I dont know anything about complicated lists - i didn't do a conversion or anything :O

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
