yer how much dose a man stag console go for? and where can i get.

i am kinda removing the 25 for a 26 so prob not need to do the wire thing.

thats what every import place is telling me about getting a 260rs bar lol.

also how hard u guys think it would be to keep the auto with the 26?

i will need a custom loom and prob after market ecu as the 26 one will prob not be able to talk to the stock auto half

Auto with an rb26DEtt? Don't bother. Get an R33 GTR box. You can use your auto console with a little adjustment - just need the gear lever and handbrake boots.

Bought my man console directly from Nissan. It ain't cheap: cost over $960, and that was leaving out the rear ashtray ($140) and the lidded console behind the shifter (I moulded my FC hand controller in instead).

This was a couple of years ago now, so with the yen weaker now than it was then, it may be worth giving your local Nissan dealership a call...?

But what do you do about the handbrake?? I ran a modified auto console for a couple of years, but needed to jam the handbrake between the console and drivers seat: looked crap, and became a huge issue when I bought Recaros: manual console is definitely better...

I'm actually working on something very similar for another member who is doing a manual conversion

I'll post pics once i have the manual console design finalized

Edited by Fgjoh

sweet as Fgjoh i will prob have to get a s2 auto center console as the s1 is a little diff and will prob be harder to mod

iirc GTR and stagea bmc is a bm44 and bm50/57 are on GTR N1s brembo equipped, ive heard Z32 is bigger than a stag one but either is fine.

btw id take him up on the offer of that modded manual console as you will pay big $$$ OEM and will be lucky to find one second hand.

yer prob will do Jason as i not really want to pay a stupid price for a console.

was kinda hoping some 1 was working on a mod for a console that u could just buy and fit.

yer doing brakes later just getting parts together for the R motor.

have a s2 peddle box and clutch master cylinder coming soon.

what about the tail shaft?

will the auto 1 fit or is it like a Holden commodore and man and auto are different?

ok need to know been getting told by cred that the the auto tail shaft will not fit the gtr man. true or not?

also they are telling me that i have to change the tunnel wall and bit of the fire wall to make it all fit well.

was told that i cant just bolt in the motor and box fit the ecu and loom, hand brake stuff like that as it will just look all doggy and not work well.

and some thing to do with the awd censer wont sit right and not work right.

was trying to see about the auto staying in and they said need to get a s15 auto computer ( the 1 that runs the box not motor ecu) and put that together with the 33gtr ecu and loom.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
