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

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
