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.

Kemp...?

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.

Ok so from the GTR i can use the gearbox, clutch assembly (excluding the pedal and master cylinder), and spigot bush and front shaft... Hmm GTR drive shafts etc....?

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?

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
