hey peoples , i just bought a 33gtst gearbox to fit in my r31 skyline .

i found now while im under the car that the gearbox mounts and the tailshafts dont line up .

i have the r33 yolk and i have the standard tailshaft from my r31 gearbox , so i thought i can mix and match , but none of this combo seems 2 work .

can any1 tell me what exactly is needed for this ? do i need 2 get a differnt rear end of the tailshaft?

any help would be good

thanx

Alot of cutting and shutting I'm afraid, difficult conversion unless you're handy with the fabrication tools...

the auto cross member went straight on .

and i used my standard manual tailshaft with the r33 yolk i had .

cutting and shutting he goes lol

It's usually the way with a gearbox conversion, I apologise.

If it hadn't have worked would you have come back and said thanks? :banana:

Just be careful any difference in length or angle doesn't put added pressure on the output shaft seal.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
