gts4 gearbox change, help with comp, 4WD system

[Mr GTS4]

now this is completly different to all the other posts i have read.

i have everything i need to convert it over. even the manual ECU .

i bought everything off a guy in perth that have a front cut. i got gearbox, front and rear drive safts, pedals -brake and clutch, master cylinder, crossmember, clutch, flywheel, all bolts, gearstick boot and centre consoles bits. etc.

now my question is: i want to use the manual computer, will the car still run using the auto loom? cause i don't really want to get the whole car re-wired.

if i use the auto comp i know to cross the neutral switch. what colour wires come off the gearbox for the reverse lights and where do they connect to.

has anyone changed a GTR or GTS4 gearbox before? is there any problems with the altessa system when changing the box over?

any help would be fantastic!!!!!!

if you could email me at mr_gts4@hotmail or pm me.

or my mobile is 0412 978 627.

Thanks guys

Dont know about computer stuff but have played with gtr gear box.Worst part was bleeding 4wd pump.PM if you want the details.

[Mr GTS4]

ok. i got the 4wd thing figured out. now i looked in my crate last night and found out that i have the manual loom off the gearbox... now does this make things easier? do the plugs go to the same place as the auto one?

any help would be great

I was going to post a new thread, but this is kind of on subject. First off, I am not new to RB's. I have done two RB swaps, one into the S13 and one into a S14.

I have the option to buy another RB, and wondered what you thought. Reason this is on subject is b/c it is a RB25DET out of a Stagea wagon, so it has the crazy stuff up front. The guy wants $1930 AUD shipped. I am not worried about the gearbox or wiring, so basically is this a good deal for a 96 motor? What all will I need (is it possible even) to convert this to a regular oilpan and ECR33 manual trans? I can pick up the trans for $1866 AUD shipped, and the pan for 450ish AUD. I will be running a Haltech or Microtech (which do you prefer?), which is why the wiring isn't a big deal.

Good luck with your swap m8!

[Mr GTS4]

well you should have becuase i really need someinfo on this topic... so next time don't hijack anyones tread.

Obviously I offended you and I didn't mean to do so. If you could help me out that would be great.

As far as your swap is concerned, both of my swaps were originally rwd manual trans motors, however, both of them had auto wiring in the engine harness. When the auto wiring was disregarded the motor/trans still worked as normal. These wires can be found in the RB service manual (colors and such). Good luck and I hope this helps.
