i just got a s2 2wd stagea and want to swap to a manual trans from the auto box. a rb25 trans isnt that easy to find where i live but i can get a r32 or r34 gtr trans no problem. so my question is can i use the gtr gearbox ? obviously just not with the front prop shaft . if i can what parts are needed thanx for the help.

yeah i thought as much :( there arent many stageas in canada so info is pretty hard to source. there arent many r34 gtt either and even less wrecked ones about. there are tons of r32 and r33 gtr tho. hence my thought of the gtr box as an option. well now to try and source a gtt box and prop shaft.

Not to mention r34 gtr box is totally different, only has same bell housing, but that's it

Well its totally different from an auto box too. OP doesn't have a lot of choice - I am sure with the right attitude it can be done. Over here people put them in R32, R33, Stageas etc just a matter of determination and a lack of RB25 big boxes.

ill get it swapped to a 5 speed eventually. im also looking into a t56 as a possible option. there not bad a price here. i know a guy who specializes in vettes so i can get one of those easy enough. i would need an adapter plate tho. i really would prefer a gtt trans thoi.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
