I have to agree Scotty.The manual conversion is probably the only way forward for your goal/s to be met right now, & the Z box looks like the least hassle.

Maybe a half decent solution for the RE5 can be had in the future with some electronic trickery (not me either - I'm too busy to look into it right now). No real point in you spending too much effort there when it won't cut the mustard regardless.

Yeah, can't imagine an off the shelf box controller. I know the ECU tells the gearbox line pressure commands, becuase I have the uprev that allows me to alter them, however that is just one map in what I imagine would be 5 or so different maps for various aspects of the gearbox.

I don't know what is stored in the ECU, and what is stored in the GB ECU. There is a hell of a lot more to it than just the line pressures.

The main problem is keeping it out of limp mode, keeping the camshafts and throttle operating.

Manual 6spd should work if I leave the AT ecu there and trick it, otherwise there may be a link G4 going in. ;)

Hey Scott. 

I'm in the process of buying up all the parts needed to do a 6 speed swap on my m35. Just wanted to see if you have any advise for me.

Besides the parts required in that link Josh shared of my build i'd not go manual without also be keeping in mind throttle issues. Driving my M35 as manual with the standard electronic throttle was very painful.

 

Cheers

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
