Rolls: yup.. that went out the window.. if those linkages werent there the thing would fit sweet as! but noooo. you can get internally shifted jericos but they are pricey.. about 6K for a internally shifted 5 speed road race one. (so about 8K in the car i guess)

and yeah i had a rb25 box in the s14 before it fits no worries.. i bashed the tunnel around the starter motor hump to make it easier but thats about it. and yes it looks like you'd have to chop the tunnel in a skyline also... not for a street car :S

whole conversion is turning out to be harder then i thought.. however thats due to no one else having done it before and making it up as i go,.

haha yeah external shifters is so old school... Jerico make an internally shifted version in 5 speed but its an extra 2.5K over the price of a basic one.

i called castlemaine rod shop.. they couldnt guarantee that the bellhousing would be strong enough for over 500 rwhp and for motorsport.. their casting is thin walled.. i was a bit turned off from that i guess and went to dellow.

the shifter on there atm is a borrowed item until Garage 7 finish building and designing a sequential shifter for it. dont like the renegate ones they seem way overpriced for what is basically a glorified hurst shifter.

Oh wow, amazing job dude. Looking at your previous post I thought the inside was going to be butchered, but that little stitch up job looks awesome! How much further over is the shifter, will that make it any harder to drive?

haha i have proper shifter on now!

33 sounds good :D

Haha, wish I could be at the event to see this in action, this has to be one of the most developed cars out there... Think it's time to open a workshop together !!! Your skill and my nothing would be awesome lol. But seriously.... Workshop....

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
