Hi Guys,

I'm new to posting here however I read the fourms all the time for great advice.

I know your all wondering WTF is he crazy converting from manual to auto but it's a possition i'm forced into. I really don't want to but it's only planned to be temperary IE 2-3 years) but it has to happen or I loose the car!!!! and that's MUCH worse.

I've read the post on the auto to manual converts and i will assume from that posting i will need to change:

Drive Shaft

ECU

Diff

Dash

Does anyone have advice, and know any places around sydney that could perform this convert for me, I live around liverpool (Out West).

Also where i could get the parts i need if i have to purchase them before the convert is to happen.

EDIT: LOL sorry forgot to add my car is a Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T, Boost has been uppped to 12pounds and I have an BOV if that changes anything :(

Thanks,

Steve.

Sell the manual and buy an auto.

Auto Skylines are generally cheaper than Manual Skylines, so I'd advise against spending money on doing the conversion as you're really spending money to make your car less valuable (if that makes sense).

If you sold your Manual and bought an Auto, you'd probably have some cash left in your pocket for a few new mods :(

ECR033, the reason i prefer to mod it is because I know the history of my current car, with the exception of the syncros in 2nd gear being a little weird there has never been a fault with my car for the past 2 years.

I was planning on keeping this car till it fell apart, however it looks like i might have to sell it :(.

------------

LBFALCON, That would be great , however finding somone who wants to convert their car and finding a shop that could convert both cars at the same time would be a problem due to the fact that both cars would be out of action during the parts exchange.

But I will still need info on who could do the conversion even if i can get the parts because I doubt I could do it by myself.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
