its probably been convered before but i cant seem to find any posts regarding instructions/parts needed to do an auto to manual conversion.

Obviously the manual gearbox is needed but do u replace the auto loom with a manual loom or do u need to re-wire the auto loom in such a away that it recognizes a manual gearbox plugged in.

its a good guide but will be slightly different in the r33 with wiring.

i just went through all this and you will need to keep the automatic loom and re-wire it to suit the manual gearbox.

things needed:

manual gearbox

clutch

flywheel

clutch master and slave + lines

clutch and brake pedals

manual gearbox cross member

manual tailshaft

manual throw out bearing

manual dash cluster (automatic will work fine but only read 50% of the speed you're doing)

manual gearstick surround

and obviously all nuts and bolts etc..

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
