Sell the car - but a turbo model.

Then you get the brakes, gearbox and everything else.

It'll cost more to upgrade your bits than it would to actually buy a car and just use what comes standard.

What are you trying to achieve with a 6-speed gearbox anyway?

It'll cost you 5-6x as much, and really offer nothing.

thanks man, down the line when im finished the engine ill probably go all out with the 6 speed gearbox,

but atm ,

im up to getting the mods (in progress) and fitting them, tuning it, work out all the kinks, lay down some 1/4 mile times, hopefully some track runs

and then worry about cruising down the highway in six ,haha, would be sweet though.

cheers.

Keep us updated with ya progress man.. and welcome to the forums

f**k why do threads like this end up with ppl giving him so much shit?! Its pretty obvious from his first post he was just after some advice/opinions on the matter.. Sure, heaps of ppl are helping, but he's also getting a bunch of f**kwitts that act like its money outta there pocket and some sort of insult that he wants to do something different.. If you have nothing helpful to say f**k off.

Different is one thing, a gross waste of money is another :)

But ye, not the first "i wanna put a 6-speed" thread, there have been many in the past, and thankfully people realise there is little point and stick with the normal 5 speed.

Also the same for getting a N/A upto a turbo-spec type thing. Easier and cheaper to start from a turbo base.

mate im in the process of an engine build,

and i beleive an rb25de head iis better, then the rb25det head when building this sort of thing ,

sure its harder, but its what i want to do, so enough critism mate.

i am asking for info.

Nismoid does have some solid points man, in just about every case its going to be cheaper and easier to start with the turbo model as its base has the better gearbox, diff and brakes as far as im aware. Having said that, i completely agree with your decision to do it your way. With these forums having wrecked turbo models all the time, you can pick up all your parts really cheaply anyway. Plus the plans for the car sound awesome.

well s15 6 speed is a pile of shit when lined up next to rb25 5 speed.... so dont bother looking at this as an option.

s13 never had 6 speed.... so yer i dunno what you meant by that.

With a lot of f**king around you can get a gtr box to work but im slightly confused as to why????

if you can give reasoning for ur want of changing to 6 speed then it may help.

unless u regularly drive down the highway at 160 kmph then what is it needed for?

and if your doing track work unless your thing is a missile you wont need 6th gear i would not imagine (depending on track)

if i was going to contemplate spending this much money doing a 6 speed conversion i would just bite the bullet, borrow some money and put a 6 speed sequential hollinger in my bus hahah

from what i recall, to make a gtr 6 speed work well you would also need the diffs, once again cost is going up for no real gain

as everyone has suggested already through experience and knowledge its much better to stick with the 5 speed

6 speed may not change final drive much anyway, it will primarily fill in gaps, which with the torque that an 30/25 will make is going to be of little benefit, you may even find that on a track with the weight and extra changes you will go slower. But you did say that you were just after advice about which box to use, maybe a Supra box?

thanky you, finally someone understands, its not about performance its about drivability sure the 5 speed is great, but i want a 6 speed, i dont need one i just would like to have one.

started with the n/a so even shitty turbo wrecked parts is a start lol, ive got the engine and drivetrain part going good so far, so the wrecked turbo parts ect turbo brakes ect will be all i need. for the time being until i get into serious stuff like racing, track work ect but right now its basically a sleeper project that isnt a typical sleeper, thanks.

im just contemplating my options ive always wanted a 6 speed not to make my car go faster (cause theres no difference except for the extra gear) just cause i want one, am i being so obscene to want to do it my way?

sorry about the s13 6 speed, some dude informed me it was good, ( to bad theres no such thing) thanks.

yes thanks, ive always liked the supra 6 speed, im not worried about the final drive ratios ( i would've just changed the diff ratios lol) thanks mate

from what i recall, to make a gtr 6 speed work well you would also need the diffs, once again cost is going up for no real gain

as everyone has suggested already through experience and knowledge its much better to stick with the 5 speed

im not after gain though, im after a nice drivable car capably of cruising down the highway (my ratios are f@#%ed im doing 3400 rpm at 100kmph in 5!)

while also capable of some sweet power,

thanks for your input, cheers.

Keep us updated with ya progress man.. and welcome to the forums

thanks man good to now there are some good guys that are actually interested in my plans and not just try talk me out of it cause they dont like the idea, my car , my plans , my way . cheers mate thanks heaps.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
