Thanks again Shane

Is your donor car a factory manual (RS4-S) or is it an auto that was converted? If it's an RS4-S the gearbox will be pull type.

You should be able to use the flywheel from the donor car without any problems.

I dont know whether the flywheel bolts differ from auto or manual, but I would be going brand new ones from nissan anyway, rather than reusing old ones.

As for your other parts, looks like you have most of it covered. You will also need the manual footrest, and the rubber boots around the gear shifter.

I'm going to be doing the conversion very soon, here is my parts list if you want to look at it

you dont have a flywheel in your stagea at the moment you have a drive plate/flex plate with a torque convertor bolted to it. you will need the flywheel as stated above. i would also say you need the flywheel bolts to suit given that the flywheel will be much thicker than the plate that comes off. not sure but possibly the gearbox mount and tailshaft are different?

Thanks Taylor... When it comes to gearboxes i'm like a fish out of water. Hopefully after this conversion my knowledge on them will improve...I think i'm ok with using the auto Tailshafts & mounts as I found in a search done previous

Cheers Brian,yes it is a factory manual. So is the factory a R33 or R32? If you don't mind me asking how much was your new clutch, spigot bush & gasket set?

I dont know whether the RS4-S is an R33 GTR or a GTS-4 gearbox, or if there is even a difference between the two. It's definitely not an R32 item though.

I cant remember the exact price off the top of my head at the moment, I bought the seal kit and clutch from www,kudosmotorsports.com, as well as a couple of other bits and pieces.

Remember that push type clutches are cheaper than pull type though, so you will probably have to pay a little bit more for whatever clutch you choose

    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
    • Welcome.  Here's what I have noticed about forum vs FB..... FB; seems to be wallet racing, and the same few questions asked over and over. There *may* be some groups that are closer knit, but most have changed for the worse. SAU; unfortunately, no longer in its glory days. But....genuine people with similar interests. Not all about how much you spent and saying you dont have enough power. Sooooooo much knowledge available. Have personally seen people post up about literally topics I made myself, asking on FB like no one has done it before. Most has been done, and most of that is here.   If you ever feel like just general chatting theres the wasteland.  Other interests are also generally covered in other areas of the forum. Hope you enjoy hanging around. We would love to have you.   P.s. nice 32 😀
