Hey guys, had a bit of a search around and gathered this info, but not sure if it's enough can't find much more ( i fail at searching). I want to put a 33 gtr box in my 32gtr and keep my push type clutch. Apparently you change the pivot point and tap the casing to swap the direction of the slave cylinder. Is there any parts i need from my push box box or is that all i need to do? I take it i use the slave from the 33 box and not my one?

Also, will i be able to use my 32 transfer case with the 33 box?

Swap the front cover (pic attached) fork, and pivot ball from your current R32 gearbox to the R33 box. Replace the gasket aswell, Kudos Motor sports or Just Jap sell them pretty cheap.

Then drill and tap the bosses on the R33 bellhousing and use your current push type slave cylinder.

I hope that makes sense?

which part do i disconnect? 114_0518.jpg

The mechanic is claiming it's one piece

edit: I can see now what he means by it's one piece. After looking closer at the pic that J'z-R33 posted, i take it that you just undo all the bolts on the inside where the fork is and swap it over like that correct?

I have no direct experience, but the common way mentioned on this site is to swap the entire bellhousing. Try searching again with that word.

I wouldn't do this - if you swap the bellhousing odds are the seal on the rear end of the first sandwich plate will get cracked;

meaning that the box will leak from there. To fix _that_ will need the box to be pulled down and resealed from the back to the front.

J'z is on the money; swap the relevant bits, drill/tap the blank bosses, and use the slave cylinder that's currently on the car.

You shouldn't need to undo any bolts that you can see in your big picture :P

Cheers,

exactly right...I've done it for a couple of them now. only thing you may need is the gasket behind the front cover.

yes you just undo about 10 bolts on off she comes.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
