Hey guys, getting my R34GTT auto converted to manual, i decided to rule out doing it with a mate, so i decided to do it at a specialist. does anyone know any good places to do it? and has anyone had any bad experiences after having a conversion done, and an approximate price would be good. just sick of having the auto and Im too attached to my car to sell it for a manual =)

Have you spent much money on the car yet?

spent about 7 grand so far. and you guys are probebly right anyway, iv been thinking about leaving it auto, and have it sit around 250kw. i think im going to buy a drift piggy instead of thee manual conversion =)

it just seems like too much trouble for little gain on my daily drive.

What do you guys do to the box to make it handle that kind of power?

I've already done the shift kit.

do you do any clutch pack etc strengthening? or just torque converter upgrade?

I've still gotta figure out how to get out to you guys to get nistune done... damn friends selling their cars and shit

we can build your auto up to handle that power.

Put a good converter in it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      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.
