very nice :-)

yeah its gotta happen. More i read about it, and more i think about the auto sedan im driving at the moment, and the autech verison i used to have... much prefer manual for power delivery, power handling and driveability etc.

thats not correct, a 2wd box will bolt upto a 4wd sumped rb25/26 and a gtr box will also bolt upto a 2wd sumped rb engine, they are the same bellhousings and both fit onto the motor which ever sump it has. if u choose a rb25 box from a gtst then obviously u are gonna loose the 4wd but it will bolt onto the motor fine, im not 100% sure on the gearbox crossmembers being the same though.

i stand corrected. must have been thinking about the rb26 rwd conversion

Have managed to find these bits so far -

From a 1992 R32 GTR-

Gearbox

Clutch assembly and flywheel incl bearing

Clutch m/cyl and slave cyl

Handbrake assembly

Pedal set

The car has just done 100,000kms, and slid sideways into a tree. He is using the engine, brakes and diff to go into a 180SX, but is using an R33 GTST gearbox, and the 180 is already a manual vehicle so he doesnt need the above parts.

Was a mint condition GTR skyline mechanically and visually, so its a shame, but at least me buying the gear off him will help with his project!

What else do i need? I'll have to figure something with a centre console - i can have his and maybe adapt the centre piece into the stagea one and retrim it or something. Let me know what else i should get off this car. He is a mate of mine who ive known for a few years, so is happy to not rort me on pricing.

The GTR master is too hard to use as it is a vacuum assisted booster and needs to be recessed into the fire wall. Use a R34/r33 gtst master. Not sure either if the r32 brake pedal will fit. Normally use a R33. Will also need to use a different clutch pedal as well.

I can not confirm all the R32 parts will work or not, as everyone has used and proven most of the R33/r34 parts fit. But unless some tries them, we will all never know.

ok so i should still try and source the pedal set and master cylinder from a later model.... no worries.

But gearbox, handbrake setup, clutch assembly all sweet by the sound of it....

Buy the stagea clutch pedal bracket from nissan (Jap) you can use the actual pedal and return spring from an r33 gtst get the clutch master from it aswell then just make a clutch line up for it P.O.P The gtr brake pedal can swap over to the stagea or you can getto mod your stagea pedal. now you just need the handbrake from an r33 ( you will need to weld a couple of mounts onto the trans tunnel for it ( if you want a proper job ) some guy's have bolted mounts through the tunnel but I don't think that would pass an inspection if it was in a crash or somthin? dont forget your spigot bearing/bush grab the front shaft from the gtr they are better than the stagea's.

From an R33 GTsT i need the brake and clutch pedals and master cylinder, and full handbrake assembly (the one from the 32 GTR wont work?)

From nissan i need the clutch pedal bracket

Not sure about str8e180, his name is John and he moves pianos.

spigot bush get new only couple bucks. come to think of it the handbrake should fit, cut his trans tunnel out from r32 (including the hand brake and trans hole) when you lay it over yours you will get a clear picture. I would just weld his in and repaint it up.

well wish me luck then. I'll take photos of the whole engine out transfer.

Whats the easiest way to get it out? Lift the engine and gearbox upwards and out with the bonnet off?

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
