i am also fitting a R motor as well

i have seen the forms telling u whats involved but i want to know what ever will give me trouble.

i have been told this so far

the box tunnel is different to the auto. so man box wont fit straight in and hand brake as well

s2 man pedal box is different to s1 and wont just bolt in

some thing to do with the awd censer not fitting right

cred in perth was telling me i need a half cut to get body parts off to fit it all

i not want it to be doggy done but done good and right

Have you read this:

and this:

That pretty much covers it. Most of what you have been told is wrong. You don't need a half cut (the 260RS is built from an RS4T off the assembly line) just need (obviously) to cut a hole for the gearshift and weld the handbrake bracket on ...the GTR box will fit with a little jiggling - all the information is in the above links - its quite straightforward and can be done in a day or weekend if you have all the bits lined up. Best done with some mates - i have heard of some workshops charging ridiculous amounts of money to do it.

BTW if you are fitting an RB26 budget for a decent clutch and a brake and suspension upgrade so you can keep it on the road!

(Oh and one of my 300km/hr speedo kits!)

yer i have read the top form post befor.

i should also let u know i have a s1 rs4 if that will make things a little different or not?

i was planning on getting a s2 pedal box , clutch master cylinder and line.

would i still need the gtr brake booster? and need to recess the master back? being that i am also fitting a 26

What do you mean by a S1 RS4 - do you mean no turbo? If so you will have even weaker brakes but all the conversion stuff will be the same.

I used an R34 clutch pedal I think but without the power booster so no recessing.

Because of the Greddy copy FF plenum I had to use a stock R33 clutch master as the 33GTR or 34 one (I can't remember) was too long. That may or may not be the case with the RB26DETT plenum.

Your brake booster will be fine (check that you have a BM50 brake m/c). I used the stock set up when I changed to GTT brakes (good idea for you) but left the booster but changed the brake m/c to an R34GTR one (BM57) when I fitted the D2s

the box tunnel is different to the auto. so man box wont fit straight in..

Tunnel is the same, fits easily.

hand brake as well

Easy to get around, you need a hand brake mount out of a manual skyline and spot weld/rivet it onto your tunnel....

s2 man pedal box is different to s1 and wont just bolt in

You need R34 clutch master cylinder and pedal, it bolts right up ;-). take the boot of your auto brake pedal and grind it down and fit a r33 brake boot over when your done. Dont bother changing the brake pedal its a MASSIVE PAIN IN THE ASS

some thing to do with the awd censer not fitting right

Correct, depends which console you use but you'll need to move it slightly... its easy just put it out of the way

cred in perth was telling me i need a half cut to get body parts off to fit it all

i not want it to be doggy done but done good and right

Well if you dont want it done dodgy i wouldnt be taking it to CRED thats for sure!

I did mine myself on the shed floor on jackstands... Id never changed a clutch before and I didnt find it that hard, had minimal experience too as I was only 20 but I've always loved tinkering with stuff.

Heres a thread I made ; http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/331327-my-manual-conversion-findings/page__hl__manual+conversion

feel free to ask for any help, best bet is to PM as ill get an email cos I dont frequent SAU that much anymore.....

haha yer its a rs4v 25det at the moment.

changing to 33gtst brakes later on till i find some 33 or 34 gtr.

so ur saying that the s2 stagea clutch pedal and master cylinder are no good to me? and would be better of chasing down a r34gtt?

shame i just missed out on a cheap 32gts4 box.

What do you mean by a S1 RS4 - do you mean no turbo? If so you will have even weaker brakes but all the conversion stuff will be the same.

S1 = Series 1.

Rather than a Series Two:

haha yer i know what s1 is mine is the first pic.

i not say that some 1 said that a s2 clutch pedal is no good no 1 say or not if it will fit easy.

was told to get a 34 gtt pedal and master cylinder. i was asking about the s2 as i have 1 lined up to buy and not want to get the wrong 1 that's all

I would assume that the S2 clutch pedal would fit perfectly. The reason everyone says R34 pedal is because Stagea clutch pedals S1 or S2 (I would expect they would be exactly the same ) are very rare and therefore not an easy option for most people.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
