Hey guys for those of you who have done this conversion . My r32 4 door mspec needed a new gearbox. I've got an r34 manual box and I can't seem to get the box in the tunnel it hits the top of the tunnel. What's the trick?

Or do I need to start bashing the tunnel?

I stopped for the night but would like to have another go in the morning.

Also I've installed an exedy hyper twin plate already to motor

The twin plate makes it hard as you can't get the box close enough to the motor before it goes up even with a 20 box it's tricky with a twin. What you need to do is loosen the engine mounts, jack the front of the engine up and get someone else to push the back of the engine down. It's a pain but once the 25 box is in you probably won't have to take it out fro a while.

Thanks I got the gearbox in by loosening the engine mounts and jacking the front of the motor up. Once I did that I had more then enough room. I can confirm that a factory manual r32 4 door skylines gearbox crossmember stamped "C" or "A" (they are identical) will not straight bolt up to the rb25 r34 gearbox in the standard position. I welded to bits of flat bar to the top and extended and drilled new holes. Works fine.

I did what most people have done and got the standard tail shaft and had the r33 yoke put on and I think it may be to short. You be the judge. I think it needed to be about 10-15 mm longer just less then an inch.

Yeah looks like whoever did your tailshaft made it to short. How did you get the tailshaft made up? Was it a tailshaft from a non abs or abs r32? are you using a abs or non abs diff?

I'm not 100% if this car was abs or not.it is am m-spec factory manual sunroof ect

All that was done was the r33 yoke was welded to the standard r32 tail shaft. Many people on this forum said that was all it was needed so I was hoping some one could compair

That's all you need. Looks like it was cut down a little short. You could go get yourself an abs diff as the nose is a little longer (like 10-15mm), will push the tailshaft further into the gearbox. The centre bearing should have enough movement in it to allow this.

R34 GTT Tail Shaft yoke for a manual gear box. 

Can you buy the yoke as a spare part for turbo GTT r34? Is the Auto yoke the same I suspect not?

Like most of us with an Auto R34 a manual conversion is on the to-do list. It seems like the gear box is buyable but all the other parts are harder to come buy especially the tail shaft. Oh and the gear stick.

Just ask for a new one when you are in a driveshaft shop asking them to make you a new driveshaft. Nissan dont have them buy any driveshaft place will be able to get them.

I have a R34, and I did a manual conversion on it, with a R33 GTST Gearbox. You just need the front half of the tailshaft to suit the gearbox you are putting in.

But also as above, you may be surprised how cheap a custom driveshaft is. I've since put a LS into the car and needed 2! driveshafts made up (because I changed the gearbox... yet again) and it's been surprisingly little fuss on the driveshaft front.

Don't use a TR6060 though. Bad ratios.

Which is when you then drop in the LS to suit the gear ratios.!

/sneaky.

Even if you do that, still bad ratios! (I have no idea what people were thinking here)

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
