Okay so far I have:

Luke_ENR34

Damo_R34

Aberax (subject to getting the day off)

Craig_R33 (maybe)

Anyone else? I'm bringing a carton of beer, and we might throw a few snags on the bbq ... all I need is your assistance to remove a box, then lift the manual into place ... 2-3 minutes work all up for beer and snags. :)

Come get some niggas! :D

Also ...

Just chasing down a few small items for the gearbox swap. Would anyone happen to have bolts for the pressure plate to flywheel ... and bolts for the gearbox to engine block (I hear the autos are different)?

Also, I'm assuming the tailshaft is the same length for auto and manual?

:D

:D

the tailshafts on my datto conversions where of different yokes and shafts , so doubt they are the same

don't forget the little wire that tells the engine its ok to start cause the car is in park, its on the automatics , not stickshifts. most cases you can just plug the two ends together and wire tie it out of the way. if you dont the car wont turn over at all. neutral safety switch and the VSS sensor will prob be different on the auto car as well. lots to think about .... good luck mate

Thanks Troy :D Already got the complete write up and reading thru it again this weekend to cover all bases. Going out after lunch to start looking into the pedal box swap and handbrake install to get ahead on the job before next weekend.

Also, anyone know of a good engineer/mechanic to face the flywheel for me? And neither my clutch kit nor the gearbox came with a thrust bearing collar (or 'throw out bearing collar') ... anyone got one lying around?

:)

Well, I've now since discovered that the clutch master cylinder cannot be installed without removing the engine, due to the plenum being in the way ... so looks like I might have some change of plans and be pulling the motor out complete with box.

So ... guess I'll be needing that engine hoist. :(

I find that hard to believe a motor or major removal to get to it,, japan doesnt design cars that need motors pulled for a simply clutch master change out.

even a plenum shouldn't need removal to get to it. most only take half hour max to swap out ruby ?

Well anyone who tells you the 260 and the RS4 are the same body, and all Autech did was stick in an RB26DETT, is lying/wrong. There are lots of differences. The 260 has a 4cm recessed section for the clutch master with booster. I'm getting the firewall recessed section and trans tunnel section for the shift hole/handbrake mount cut out of Nigel's wreck so I can suss it out. Maybe even have an engineer fabricate it in.

Another option is to just go with a 33 clutch master (non-boosted), but then the clutch pedal I have prob won't work. Its the little things they don't tell you about.

:down:

They probably use the body of a manual RS4 and just stick a 26 in it. I really don't see the point of making them different though :P

Just use the one without the booster. 32GTR's have boosters but i don't have one on my car, not really needed.

You need to do more researh roo. This has all be covered a long time ago..... Read up some more to make it as smooth as possible :)

I've found four different sources (albeit all being different versions/instructions), and it was the last one when I found out about the "recess". Even some of the info I found suddenly was inaccessible online! So I could not refer back to it. The original source I have for Stageas specifically is now back online :P WTF? Anyway, I went around to Dan's to look at Nigel's old 260 and sure enough, theres a recess. Might have to go the 33 master for now, just to get the job done ... but not too sure about how it will mate up with the 260 clutch pedal box. I just want to avoid buying extra parts, when I've already got the 260 parts there. :)

Lex, or anyone else with a manual RS4, can someone confirm this ... does the manual RS4 have the recess? It'd be interesting just to know.

:P

You do realise you'll be going from a push type clutch to a pull

No ... pull to a push.

But its not happening this weekend now. I cannot get some of the parts I need at such short notice ... parts that should have come by today have not, and I need to reschedule this for next weekend. Boo hiss!

Plan for next weekend. I'll let you guys know when I can confirm that.

:laugh:

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
