Got another FB message last night linking me to a post about how much of a nightmare the HGT was to work with, failed out comes etc. 

To look at "Turbo Lamik" who is apparently the best tuner in Poland for this sort of stuff (apparently only Poland are doing these ZF swaps coz I think HGT are there too?). 

So I'll have a look at that also. 

The BMW DCT's have solid conversions nowadays (I almost put one into my car behind the LS but it wasnt quite mature yet).

Is that not an option? Given how much power you're putting down I'd be looking in that scenario as the whole thing was $3000 cheaper than putting the magnum in my car lol.

I was under the impression it was smaller, more compact, cheaper than manual that I went with. That said a R34 is not a S chassis (but given RB boxes fit in S chassis, I'm making an assumption its roughly similar)

Looking at the OG context of this thread, I don't know if a DCT would disqualify you from WTAC and whether they'd hold true to automatic, given the context of the automatics the car came with, i.e you must have a torque converter.

But the DCT boxes do fit in a lot of things, seem to be picking up traction instead of manual boxes for SR, 2JZ, RB, LS etc as the gearboxes are starting to be real pricy and ... slower.


But as dose said, you know what comes from the factory with this great DCT installed, coupled with a stout 3L TT engine? The donor BMW it came from lol.

Just revising this one as I would like to know if there is any progress with the ZF box conversion for 32/33 GTRs that anyone knows of in Oz? 

I had the ZF in my last car, an M140i, and the gearbox was fantastic and really did surprise me for a slusher.

HPR Tuning are working on the ZF conversion kit for GTRs at the moment. I have their entire DCT kit to go behind my 3.2 when it's done, it looks top quality and I bet the ZF kit will be too.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
