Guys,

Have called a few places (who had very high quotes for bloody 15 year old parts without warranty) but I'm sure you guys could point me in the right direction a lot faster.

After R33 parts to complete a manual conversion (on an R34).

Need a manual gearbox, tailshaft (front part), manual spigot bush, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder,

-clutch MC to Slave Cyc lines, pedals, flywheel. Will buy a new clutch kit seperatly.

Have posted in the WTB section here but very few replies and I really want to do this over my Chrissy holidays as I have the next 3 weeks off so figure if I can find a wreckers with it in stock I'll be right.

Cheers for any help.

Yeah have spoken to him - agree its a good price (for what you get) but way more than I want to spend (don't need a $2K clutch or a lightened flywheel). If I can keep the price down (to under $2K with new clutch) I am doing this conversion if not then it doesn't make financial sense to do and I will sell and start over.

If i was to do this conversion i'd buy the spigot new from nissan/justjap($10 at most), clutch master and slave from peps in artarmon(new non-gen)(roughly $150 at most), braided clutch to slave line from pirtek/enzed or a rubber one from a vl(not sure on price there...$10 > $150 at most), aftermarket lightened flywheel.

As for the box...i saw one somewhere on here in brissy for $600. Hunt for second hand one from private sale. Tailshaft half from sss automotive, jpc lansvale, justjap or gms revesby.

Does the pedal box on an r34 need all 3 pedals or does the clutch pedal bolt in separately? May be able to use a 31/32/33 pedal box or just the extra pedal and cut auto brake pedal in half with hacksaw.

Should be under 2k easy doing it that way.

Hope some of that helps. Good luck!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
