I just finished my conversion today

easy very easy

The speedo drive is one of the easiest things you will ever do. and be careful with the loop in the speedo cable so its not to tight ( its there because the speedo drive is further forward on the gearbox than on the r32 gearbox

a couple of things I was struggling to find out and couldn't find.

The Nissan gear box cross members all have a letter on them.

You need the A cross member it bolts straight in.

the front half of the drive shaft needs 10-15 mm added to it. You cant use the front half of a r33 tailshaft on the back half of a r32 tailshaft , it is to long.

Any other questions Its fresh in my head

i did the conversion last week also.

speedo easy as and is within 2 klms of accurate.

crossmember just welded some 5mm flat bar to exsisting crossmember and re drilled holes.

the tailshaft in mine needed to be shorter by about 8-10mm also need the rb25 yoke. the length isnt a universal measurement. my measurement from output shaft to hole centre for the centre bearing was 41.9cms

Ahh

Lucky for me a good friend of mine owns http://www.japaneseperformance.com.au/ . Makes it handy when I am looking for x-members

It looks factory because it is. I can find out what he would charge for an A style cross member if you want to put a factory one in there

Glad to hear about that with the speedo

Tell me please who did your driveshaft and what did it cost

it was a local driveshaft place in Bundaberg but any driveshaft shop will be able to handle the job its not rocket science cost me $190, i supplied the yoke, they welded the 25 yoke onto 20 shaft and rebalanced both shafts together.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
