Hey guys, 

 

Ok first of all yes I searched and searched and couldnt find the answer I needed. 

 

So basically I have a complete R33 RB25DET Manual and a complete R33 RB20E Automatic. So can anybody tell me what parts Ill need to do a full conversion or will I be able to do a easy straight forward swap? Both are 1995. Also how do I go about setting up the clutch pedal into the Autos body?

What do you mean you searched and couldn't find the answer?  It's only been asked on here about 12*10^19 times in the last 20 years.

The clutch pedal installation is a case of removing the pedal box from the manual and installing it in the auto.  Plus arranging for the appropriate holes and bolts in the firewall, clutch plumbing, clutch pedal switch & wiring inside.

You need the manual gearbox loom (basically the whole lower looms from the lower driver's side of the engine bay).  You need to get rid of a few annoying things like the neutral start inhibit circuit.

I don't know why I am typing this stuff out though, because as I said, there would have to be bunches of posts and tutorials covering it.

Thanks for your answer haha but nah most of them are manual to manual conversions or going into cefiros. I was just wondering about 2 R33s same year and both S1 how much would be different but thanks anyway for clarifying

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
