sorry guys dont know what happend there with it coming up 3 times, also does any1 have a pic of the back of an R34 clutch pedal?? mine fits in fine i just dont like the way it attaches to the firewall, looks loke its ment to have another piece in it to sit against the firewall better, ill take some pics of mine and post them when i get a chance

The manual conversion thread is HERE, and I myself have posted quite a few photos of the handbrake location in there somewhere...

Sorry, can't help with the question on the pedals, though.

:blush:

Do you know what hand brake you have got

The skyline ones are very similar to the stagea one, but the mounting feet are different angles

I used a brand new stagea one for ease, was aprrox $170 and was not worn out.

To make things easy you need to use the mounting bracket that is normally welded in on the tunnel.

The bracket is made of 2 peices spot welded together. Series 2 auto's have one part of this bracket already so you only use one half of the new bracket. Series 1's I believe need to use the whole bracket. Either weld or bolt to the floor. Then the hand bracket will sit at the correct angle and line up with the centre console.

Same with the clutch pedal, the stagea and r34 are the same, but the mounting bracket to the fire wall is different. Grab a stagea one and you will be right

Have you got a centre console yet? I might be getting a spare one and possibly the pedal brackets etc. :blush:

Attached is a couple pic's of a full stagea manual conversion. Might help

My conversion is from an RB33 GTR so maybe that makes the pedals easier to fit. If you look at the handbrake you will see that it is bolted on to a black plate. The plate looks as though it is rivetted on but is in fact welded to the tunnel.post-49463-1269220784_thumb.jpgpost-49463-1269220856_thumb.jpg

i dont know what handbrake they gave me but it was the wrong one, it had R33 in texta on it by mistake, all good now and have the right one, where do i get that bracket from?? do i realy need it?? has any1 else made there own brackets??? or is it a cheap part to get??? all the frontcuts i looked at today had been cut just after the gearstick hole

You can buy all the brackets from nissan. approx $70 for the handbrake one

Much easier to use the factory bracket so that you do not rip out of the car over time when pulling the brake on

ill go into nissan tommorow and see what they can do for me.. that part number on the bracket is that a stagea one or an R34 one??

also is this diagram right?? it just seems strange that there isnt anything siting flat on the fire wall instead of the circular points around the bolts being the only thing in contact with the fire wall,

The bracket is out of a series 2 manual stagea, not r34

That is right for the bracket onto the fire wall, that it fits thru the sound proofing.. There is also some other mounting points which fix to the dash cross brace

and u got that bracket localy???

mmm, i cant wait 3 weeks for that.... i might have to make up a temp one, did you weld yours to the tunnel or are they riveted on like in that other guys pic??

Used 4-off 6mm bolts with lock nuts in the tunnel

I drilled the spotwelds out of an R33 to remove the handbrake bracket. Worked great along with the handbrake itself and the clutch pedal/master cylinder.

i might see if ican find a 33 at the local pick apart then cause the import ones didnt have what i wanted.. also what clutch is every1 using?? my mates gunna order me an exedy clutch, do i just get one to suit an R34 or does the r34 use a pull type clutch?? im using a 32 gearbox so its a push type...

R34 GTT uses a pull type, unsure of R34 GTR. Most R32 GTR's are the push type but as darrinspencer will confirm, the later model ones are a pull type.

Josh is right

All Rb flywheels are the same

I use a late model R32 gtr box which is pull type rebuilt by Jim Berry for approx 300rwkw cost around $900.

Looking at upgrading when the new engine goes in as it slips already esp being AWD

Push type clutches are cheaper

All rb flywheels rnt the same, I just compared the one I was given being told it was an r34 flywheel.. To my r32 gtr flywheel I had and they are difrtrnt.. So confused what to do now... Gtr or r34 flywheel... The guy at exedy said gtr push type kit.. Mote feedback from other guys please

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
