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

farken hell you get the parts i'd do it for a carton.

Parts being:

- r33 gearbox

- tailshaft changed if need be...

- gearbox mount

- clutch flywheel etc.

or try Option1 Garage they did a conversion for me...was really happy.

yeah i was keen to do it DIY, i mean im pretty capable its just trying to get the thing out and the new box in on car stands that im worried about haha

maybe i'll take you up on that offer oblivion :down:

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

    • 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?
