yo i am thinking of changing my s1 rs4v to a rb26 later down the road.

but in the mean time i am wanting to change the auto to a s2 rs4 man. have been told this is hard and not to do but just sell my rs4v and get a rs4s.

i would use the 26 man but they are bigger and i need to bash the tunnel out to make it fit.

can be done but i am not chasing a stuped amount of power so a s2 rs4 man should be able to stand up and would fit with out much trouble.

what u all think?

Who ever told you its hard has rocks in their head....

I did the entire conversion in <24hrs at home on the axle stands.

PS Im 21 so not like i have decades in the industry or anything. Heck I'd never even seen a clutch before!

its all do able, but just depends on how comfortable you are without it on a car hoist, i also slammed my mates r34 gearbox into his car, was heaps hard as in physical, but not brain surgery.

just make sure you change your automatic gear sensor to Neutral so you can start and turn off your car!

yer i not think it was that hard. i have done man conversions before when i was at jshop hear in perth just not on a rs4 befor.

ok good to know that the gtr box will fit.

i am looking at my mates r34 gtr motor and prob r33 gtr man.

will look for that tutorial later.

thanks guys

Stock auto ecu will run fine with no alteration. You just have to short out the fuses in front of the battery so it will start (details in the DIY I think). Link/Vipec replace the stock ecu so best to wait until you get the 26 so you can get the right one.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
