Hi all, driving an R33 gts25t at the moment with a few mods but due to family stuff (2 kids) am thinking of moving to a four door! (Have always said four doors are two to many). Think iv'e got a good price on an R34 gtst but it is auto. Can any one tell me the best swap for this to make manual???

Sorry, I know what box to use, just needed info as to how hard it would be to change over and what is needed. Don't know if it would be worthwhile or if I should just get a manual! The autos are a lot cheeper!

hey mate,

there's a tutorial that E_Lu-SHuN did for an R34 auto to manual conversion, just shows you through what to get before hand etc and the process of it...

just a tip, get a good gearbox.. as mine has had a manual conversion in japan and i have no idea what gearbox i have in it... and it's crunching :D gogo redline shockproof

Thanks for putting me on to the tut, it was great and if I was to do it would be a great guide and managable job. However to keep things nice and easy will just get a manual in the first place as the small differance in price compared to a conversion will bejustified by the factory finish and less stuffing around.

      Been slowly chipping away at it when I've got time. Tried to get the box in with the converter but worked out that the flexplate isn't the correct thickness and the converter pulls out off the pump too much (about 8mm). The flexplate for some reason was setup to use the secondary holes on the converter which had a press in nut to bolt to. I worked with Adamat performance the guys who manufacture the kits and they revised the design and made it suit the factory converter holes and milled up a new one for me and is currently on its way over. Can see the differences between the two compared to the orignal design which is in the post above. Once that's here the box can go in for good. I dummy'd it back up to get tailshaft length and is currently with Hardy Spicer to sort that out. Unfortunately won't get it back until late Jan Have been working in the boot lately getting it all a bit nicer and useable. Painted it with sound deadener and cut out a new boot floor from 18mm MDF so I can put a pram or my tool bag in the back. Have marine carpet coming to stick onto that and then also cut a piece to cover the battery. Once ive stuck the carpet in and all cleaned up ill pop the fuel system back in. Need to order 2 new Walbro 525s to replace the 3x 460s. Should be enough fuel for the new setup and run a bit cooler as well having more volume in the surge tank and less heat.  Have also ordered some sound deadener to put under the carpet. That should be here next week and I'll start putting it down on the floor, doors and roof. Hoping all this effort will make it a nice streeter with ability to daily if I want to.
