Here are some pictures of everything you will need for the conversion

This photo also includes a factory computer and harness to suit a Neo motor and also the tail shaft, which the auto versions should be ok to use instead.

This conversion kit was removed from a 2001 H13 Stagea 27,000ks

Photo is from Yahoo auctions and had a buy it now price of 300000 yen approx $3500

Notice the clutch master cylinder, no vacumn booster

Clutch and brake pedal brackets are different from a R33, not sure about R34

Not sure if the clutch is a pull or push type, being 2001 model and possibly the same box from a R33 it could be pull type?

yes, i can 100% confirm that the S2 doesnt have a vac booster, but then you will need the S2 pedal set...which no one knows if they bolt into a S1?

HMMMM....someone has to find out! :huh:

I could still convert in future, no doubt about it, just want someone else to try it first, i am not in a financial position currently to find out

Oh, as a quick note...missing a transfer case ey? so it was a manual RWD

Ahh...

Here are some pictures of a R33 GTR vspec box

First photo you can not see the transfer box, second photo you can, if you look on the other side :huh:

And RWD gear boxes taper down more to the tail shaft and do not have the ribs in the alloy casing under the gear stick.

The conversion kit photo is from a RS Four type S, as ALL turbo manual Stagea are 4WD.

Touche my good friend, touche :huh:

One thing i dont quite get, why are autechs still so high in value. I mean, an R33 GTR costs around 30k these days, 260's are still around 35-40k

You can get a rough Autech 260RS for under 30K just like rough R33 GTR's

Good 97-98 R33 GTR's are still 35-45K if you import one

It depends on condition

I have seen 260RS go thru Japan auctions for approx $21-22k landed and complied, but were high K's and had previous damage

Also Autech's are very limited run, not mass produced like GTR's from the Nissan factory.

Have you seen the Autech 4 DOOR R33 GTR, only 100 made and sell for R34 GTR prices s/hand.

i paid 20000Yen for my R33 GTR gearbox, but the freight killed me bringing the total up to AU$1000. parts are insanely cheap in japland, but getting the heavy things here is still expensive

Did you end up buying it?

Or someone else beat you to it?

My highest bid was 62000

The final bid was 64000

Yeah at the price of $750 it would have been approx $2000 delivered to me in Brisbane plus would have to wait 3-4 months for it to get here

I have been waiting 3 months now for my R34 GTR front bar to come thru Slidewize imports

Should be here in 4 weeks apparently.

Terminal

There is 2xR33 GTR boxes for sale at the moment in the for sale forums for $1000-1100

On another note, full built automatic from Keas, new belts and clutchs, valve bodies, springs etc etc with a full manual controller is $3300 including a change over.

I will let everyone know how it goes when I can afford one in about 4-6 months (Just bought me a GCG for now)

EDIT: I admire how people on this forum help eachother out even when taking different paths. I think I will be the first/one of the first in Aus to build up a Stagea automatic....hope nothing goes too wrong (AKA, Auto shifting too fast for the ecu :O)

Bugger, well when i looked for mine i couldn't find one anywhere. this one i got through slidewize is the same price anyway. no loss, just a 3 month wait

What i want to know is because it's a GTR box, do you have to use a GTR flywheel and clutch? or will a flywheel and clutch fit from a GTST?

What have you other guys used in your conversions?

There is 2 types of GTR box

89-93 32GTR are PUSH type clutch like all RB25det boxes and use the same flywheel

94 32GTR and all R33 GTR boxes use a PULL type clutch and am pretty sure use the same flywheel as RB25det. (I did a group buy on lightened flywheels with NPC approx 18 months ago and they were all the same)

So you have to get the right clutch to suit your box, either push or pull type.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
