hey guys i found a r32 gtr 5 speed for sale and i was wondering whether its easier to use the 33 or 32 box and whether they are the same ????

also does the front tailshaft from the auto fit the gtr 5 speed by any chance or will i need a gtr one?

is the attessa 4wd stuff run by a computer??? or hydraulics? or what? and if its run by ecu, is it seperate to the engine ecu???

sorry for the billion q's again but i wanna make sure i buy the right stuff 1st time round

will i need to get a gtr rear tailshaft as well i presume????

i need to sort out what i need and what i dont need :D

thanks again

Brad :rofl:

The R33 is rumoured to be a bit better but I haven't seen it.

I suspect it is the same, because the transfer case is pretty much the same
is the attessa 4wd stuff run by a computer???
Yes
or hydraulics?
Yes
if its run by ecu, is it seperate to the engine ecu???
Yes

The engine ecu talks to the ATESSA ecu which uses hydraulics to change the preload on the clutch pack which alters the amount of drive to the front wheels.

will i need to get a gtr rear tailshaft as well i presume????
Again I think the auto and manual are the same
i need to sort out what i need and what i dont need

I don't think you can do/know/buy EVERYTHING before you start, I suggest you get the major/known items and just get on with it.

whats the diff ratio on the stagea autos????
Sorry I don't know that, but I suspect it will be different. You need to have both diff ratios the same. So you either use 2 X GTR diffs or 2 X Stagea diffs.
is the diff good enough to handle the 26 conversion???
I would say so.
is it the same as a gtr diff???
Not sure what this question means, ratios as per above. Centre (as in LSD) unlikely to be the same but I don't think it matters.

Personally I would use as little GTR stuff as I could, then if I find a deficiency later on I would upgrade that part. If you just go heavily into GTR stuff everywhere, you will end up spending more money than you need to. The best way, if you really want to transfer everything would be to buy an accident damaged R33GTR and swap over all the parts, that would be cheaper than buying bits one by one.

Regardless of methods, if you change it completely (as in every single part) it would have been cheaper to buy a 260RS. The best way is to do the important/essential stuff and ignore the "nice to have stuff". There is a young NZ guy on the forum whose father has done an RB26 transplant into an N/A manual Stagea, he may be worthwhile talking to.

Hope that helps :rofl:

Have done the conversion.

Tailshaft - different

I used a 32 gear box but the 33 box is exactly he same only the clutch is different and the mounting of the slave cylinder on the bell housing.

front tailshaft is the same.

four wheel drive is in the ECU and works fine in my car. ( about to change this to power fc )

There is alot of mucking around to convert but well worth the exercise.

If you have any more questions let me know and I'll try and help.

Cheers

4wd/abs are in the same computer, down the back of the car

the inputs it needs are same as any other atessa ecu (refer 32 gtr workshop manual)

btw sydney kid, im not _that_ young (21 ;), i've got a 32 gtr myself :)

the 260rs uses a assisted clutch (needs firewall mods), but you can run unassisted no problem, we run a hks triple plate, the pedal is heavy, but not a killer

we prefer the 32 style box because of the clutch setup

so if you want to go for the assisted clutch the firewall needs to be modified but if you fit a 32/33 gtr box you dont need to cut into the firewall? (except for the clutch pedal i guess.

how hard is it to relocate the handbrake?

there were some firewall mods. apparently if you don't use the power assist, the clutch can be a bit of a pig ie. gear selection with the clutch not disengaging properly.

The hand brake is the bastard thing. all the brackets from the rs260 were used on mine and rs 260 centre console, and i still haven't got the plastic foot rest thingie to replace the auto one.

Cheers

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
