Manual conversion checklist

[Terminal]

nice work. i got my R33 GTR box for 20,000Y, but the shipping brought it up to just under $1000. it's in Australia i now know, once it's cleared customs it's on its way to my place

[tRUkbOY]

96911-0V800 Body-Console

96920-0V800 Lid-Console Box

68430-0V800 Holder Assy-Cup

96935-0V800 Boot-Console

96965-AA001 Holder Assy-Cup

I don't know how much money it would save anyone looking at following beastien's lead but the last part number - the Holder Assy-Cup - uses an R34 Skyline part number. Which means you may be able to purchase it second hand locally of an R34. Just a thought

[beastien]

Good stuff, i didn't actually notice that, may come in handy for some people.

Edit

R33 GTR boxes are pull type aren't they?

Correct

I just did a quick edit

[darrinspencer]

Part number for Series 2 Stagea type S clutch pedal 46550-0V700 (thanks Alex)

This suits the standard type R34 master cylinder, not vacumm GTR type

Well, I got the part yesterday and it is not the clutch pedal, but it was the bracket that the pedal and master cylinder bolts to

It should be just a case of removing the foot brake bracket and bolting this new one in

Will go to Nissan and try to get the clutch pedal now.

What's the difference between the 1st part and the 3rd part? is the mounting bracket separate from the pedal?

The clutch mounting bracket is similar to photo attached

The photo is of a R33 bracket, which is diifferent to the Stagea

[Terminal]

Excellent.

thanks for that darrin, i've got the R33 pedal, bracket and master cylinder, hopefully i can make it fit

[AMS]

Do we have an exact list of all the parts needed for the conversion yet?

[Terminal]

I can make one of all the bits i have, but i don't have part numbers for them all. i have everything sitting in my garage waiting anxiously to go in

[AMS]

That would be great

I'm still trying to figure out why the hell it costs so much to convert a Stagea to manual though... One of my mates converted his R32 4 door to a manual last weekend. Cost him $700 all up

[darrinspencer]

Gtr gear box $500-1500 s/hand

Clutch pedal, bracket and master cylinder $320 new

braided clutch line $100

Clutch kit R32 push $450-500, R33 Pull $900 new

Centre console new $1000

R33 hand brake s/hand $50

R33 brake pedal s/hand $30-50 New $90

Flywheel s/hand $50-100

Misc -oil etc $150

I think that's it

Centre console is the killer

[AMS]

Ok so why exactly do we need the centre consol? My mate with the R32 just covered the original space from the auto stick with a gear boot. Looks great! Is that something which we cant do in Stagea's?

[Terminal]

to fit the handbrake, you need to cut a massive hole in the console, and also for the gearstick you need to cut away at the lid over the shifter. you can use the original, but it won't look very pretty without a bit of restorative work.

also when you get the manual console you get 2 more cupholders, can't have enough cupholders

[AMS]

Thats a very good point. 2 Cupholders isnt enough... well I want to do this conversion once the online store is up and running. I'll see if I can get away with it for under 3 Grand. One more thing - is it necessary to use an after market ECU aswell?

[Terminal]

not as far as i'm aware. i'm using an R33 series 2 ecu so i can plug a powerfc into it.

Cheers Leshy

So when will your conversion be finished?
