Hi guys,

Its been on my mind for such a long time and finally I've decided to manual my r34 sedan. Just have a lot of questions which need to be answered lol.

Firstly what box would be best to put in? I know obviously a r34 gtt box will fit along with a R33 gtst box but will a r33 gtr box fit? Anyone know the differences?

As for the diff would the auto diff be fine with the manual box and what is the difference between the r34 clutch and brake pedals compared to the r33.

Also with a r33 gearbox installed would the r34 leather surrounding fit?

Car is currently running 190kw with the auto what would should i except to run with the manual? What would be the best clutch to use?

Ive been quoted $2500 drive in drive out, with a excedy heavy duty clutch and a r33 gearbox. Is this a good price?

Cheers guys any help would be great, anyone whos gone through it your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks once again :P

Dude, learn to use the search function.

This topic has been covered many times.

The DIY - CLICK ME

R34 conversion search results - CLICK ME

As easy as that.

Dude my questions are different to those.

I dont think the GTR box would be an easy or cheap option but 6 gears would be great if you have the money :devil:

As for the diff would the auto diff be fine with the manual box and what is the difference between the r34 clutch and brake pedals compared to the r33.

Auto Diff will be fine I think the only difference is the ratio. Its refered to as a Strengthend R200 (open Diff) for the Non turbo auto or manual or a Strengthend R200V on the turbo (LSD) for auto or manual.

The pedal box will fit except only 4 of the 5 mounting bolts will line up the last one needs a longer bolt and a spacer aparently

Also with a r33 gearbox installed would the r34 leather surrounding fit?

?????

Manuals lose less power through them than auto's just depends how well serviced your auto was.

sounds alright to me

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
