Running into a bit of an issue. R34 GTT auto trans has a speed sensor at the back, little 2 pin plug, assuming it's speed sensor 2 however the current trans harness doesn't plug into it. So assuming that either my harness is wrong or someone swapped out the sensor with a different one? Either way anyone have any ideas on what to do in this case? Is there a suitable replacement to speed sensor 2 or do I even need it?!

Hey guys im swapping my n/a S1 rb25de to a series 2 Rb25det and i was just wondering what things will i need to make it a straight swap e.g will it bolt straight onto my gearbox and will the engine mounts be the same cheers

Hi I’m after a r31 manual conversion kit in Adelaide can anyone help? Cheers ph 0407908059

Sooo, I hope someone of you have done this and can give me some advice. The R32 subframe got 4 bolts for the front of the rear diff, will probably just move the R32 part over to the S15 subframe (cut and weld). But how about the other reinforcement in front of the R32 front bushes? And the overall feeling is that the R32 subframe looks stronger. Any thoughts and advices, let me have them

Hello guys, I picked up a nice little 2003 350GT-8 with a buggered CVT gearbox, I fitted a secondhand CVT gearbox but was unable to rectify the faults. After about 1 year of spending time trying to find the faults, I decided I would make the leap and convert the sedan to a 6MT from a 350Z. Please try and refrain from writing things like "WHY DIDNT YOU JUST BUY A MANUAL TO START WITH" etc etc. I don't care. The car cost me $1500 licensed and all, and 2k for the conversion. Still cheaper than buying a 350 6MT. This post will contain as many photos as possible as I progress through the build. This will be continually updated as I complete the stages. I have never been able to find out about mounting the handbrake lever, or the legalities on cutting the transmission tunnel out to fit the gearbox. I hope to provide some light on these matters for the next person to take on the conversion project. Removed CVT and threw it in the skip bin. Best feeling of my life. GOOD RIDDANCE. Removed the following; Carpet (needed a clean anyway) Front and rear seats Center console HVAC and anything in my way Witing harness Airbag module, Gyro & Traction control module. (NOTE ANYTHING WITH YELLOW PLUGS IS SRS AIRBAGS, MAKE SURE BATTERY UNPLUGGED ALSO DO NOT FLIP OVER THE SRS MODULE FROM UNDER THE CONSOLE, IF YOUR BATTERY IS CONNECTED OR IT HAS CHARGE IT WILL SET OFF YOUR AIRBAGS. IVE SEEN IT DONE. VERY DANGEROUS.) Brackets and really anything you see is going to slow you down. Mock fitted the console and handbrake assembly to see the alignment. Measured gearbox to the tunnel. Pictures of the handbrake assembly and how it DOES NOT match anything on the original tunnel, I guess you could make up a few brackets and cut some holes but that is dodgy and I want this thing to be as good as factory when I am done. I have a manual tunnel from a 350Z, I have decided to remove the inner skin that has the moulding for the manual trans and the handbrake that I require. Once done will be as simple as bolting it all onto the new inner skin as per factory. I was able to drill out the spot welds with a Spot weld cutter available for $20 its like a little hole saw. I have a qualified boilermaker / engineer on hand to weld the skin into the cars existing tunnel. There are A LOT of little spot welds not marked with arrows, the arrows are just pointing out a few of the ones I started to cut out. More photos and info to come! Thanks

Hey there lads, Ive looked around a little bit and have come up empty handed. Is it possible to run an r34 gtt auto gearbox in an auto r33 gts25t? Have you heard of this being done before? If its possible what do i need to do it? Im sure a lot of you are thinking why on earth don't I just go with a manual but any help is well appreciated. Cheers

Just need someone or few people to give me a hand to convert my r34 sedan auto to manual All parts supplied Can $$ for work

Mechanic is having trouble with the different height valve springs. If going solid eliminates the Vct does that mean I can use same height valve springs on each side? Have Tomei Solid 272 cams 9.25 lift as well as the Tomei lifters, What springs would I need to make this work with my current parts and will I need anthing else?

Hi Guys. Hope I can get some help here. I have searched to try and see if I can get any info but could not get much. If I could possibly get some info on the conversion I am considering doing please. I currently have and Rb 25 Det engine. These are some of the Mods that were done. Cylinder Head: Ported and Flowed Cams cut 270 All rb 26 internals: Valves , Lifters , Retainers , Valve Springs etc So the head is complete solid lifters solid cams not using vvt anymore. Sub Assembly is stripped due to detonation: 1 piston in the ringlands , no 6 big end bearing spun. So this is what I need help with please A friend of mine offered me a rb 26 bottom end that I can fit the Rb 25 det Head too. So some of the info that I have managed to get says it can be done. The Rb 26 uses 12 mm bolts. But are there any other mods that need to be done in terms of water galleries and oil? Can I use my rb 25 cometic head gasket of the block? Or is this a straight fit? Any input will be appreciated Chev R

Hey all! I'm a bit or a lurker around here so i thought it was about time i chucked up some content of my own! I'm 20 years old and i have loved cars ever since i can remember, used to live in Mount Gambier in SA, but joined the RAAF and have sinced moved to Wagga Wagga in NSW. I always loved 4WD's but when i was about 14 or 15 i started getting into the imports, and wanted to get an s13 as my first car. But my parents weren't keen on my 16 year old self getting a 2 door coupe as my first car and i settled upon a very nice condition Toyota Cressida. I purchased it in Melbourne and did the 5 hour drive back home, at the time i think it had 294,xxx k's on the clock. I knew the 7M-GE was notorious for head gaskets so i picked one up that had already had the head gasket replaced at 250000k's. It remained grandpa spec for the whole time i owned it, did plan or purchasing some R33 GTR wheels but being 17, in school and having a low income job, that proved difficult. The best part of this car was the motorized heater controls, you pressed a button on the centre console and the air con/heater controls slid out so the buttons were exposed, all very james bond style. I finished school then got a job as an IT tech at the school i had just graduated from. The time came that i was now earning enough money to buy the car i had always wanted. I lived a 2 minute bike ride from work so i sold the Cressida on to someone in Adelaide. In the time between buying the Cressida and selling it, my tastes had changed and now i knew i wanted an R32. I loved everything about them, from the styling to the RB engines. Stupidly i sold the Cressida early and no nice cars came up for 3 months, in which i was riding to work in the freezing cold (i know its a 2 minute ride, shut up i'm lazy haha). I finally found a nice car and got some of my mates living in Adelaide to check it out, he said it was all sweet and it would be a nice car. Rang the guy, said i was very interested in it and i would be happy to drive the 5 1/2 hours and purchase it pending a quick inspection, he said no worries. Left on friday night driving my mates car up to Adelaide for him as he left it home over Easter, and stopped overnight at my mates place about 3 hours away. Just as i leave in the morning i get a call from him saying someone came around last night and bought it. f**k. You. Guy. So i was stuck in Adelaide on a Saturday afternoon with no car, and i had to work Monday. Scoured carsales/gumtree/ebay/sau/nissansilvia for anythnig decent, went and looked at one shitter 32, another nice 32, and then a maroon/red r32. It had an ugly bodykit on it, but was in good condition otherwise. Took it for a test drive was sold very quickly, purchased it on sunday and drove it all the way home. How it looked upon recieveing it; Mod's were: Some terrible looking body kit R34 NEO turbo R32 GTR front mount Turbosmart boost tee SAAS boost guage Walbro fuel pump (which turned out not to be true) Viper rims (was never sure on sizes) ISC coilovers 3" exhaust with JUN rear muffler Was running 14psi and making 170kw Had it a month or two and it ran well, and i was loving life being the owner of my shiny new r32. It was my first turbo car and boy did it go a little faster than the Cressida! I did a lot of driving and getting to know the car before i started making any changes to it. The first thing i did was lower it, being a hektik young 18 year old needing "m0ar low" i set the coilovers to maximum low straight away. Rookie mistake, the fuel tank got stuck on the jack so i couldn't pull it out or pump the handle to raise it up. The next thing i did was replace the 3" hi-slow cat with a decat pipe. I f**king love the sound of an angry RB, and even though it was my daily driver i had to have it. At the same time myself and a mate got hold of some 3" stainless pipe and made up an exhaust for it. Being our first time welding it was hacked together, and we made some 3" blast pipes for it. Was never really a fan of them, i think it was because the pipe diameter was too small, looking back they needed to be about 3.5" i reckon. I ended up giving them to one of my mates and putting the JUN rear muffler back on. While we were making the exhaust i drove it around for a week with just the dump pipe on. Biggest mistake ever. My entire dash now shakes and rattles from the vibrations of the exhaust. Protip #1 never do that. Couldnt resist giving it shit though, it sounded too good haha! At some point i got a flat tyre on the front so i borrowed my mates SSR Longchamps and ran with them for a while. This is when i was happiest with it with the bodykit.

Hi not sure on this one. I'm looking at doing a RB30 25 head. I have a NEO head and a S1/2 25 head. I want to put the S1/2 head on but was looking at making it solid lifters Question is, am i able to use the parts out of the NEO head to convert the S1/2 head to solid? Cheers, Dave.

Used Rb25 gearbox. Good condition. This was stripped down, inspected and re-assembled by Forced Motorworx for a spare for my race car but I'm changing to a GTR gearbox now so have no use for it. No shifter or mounts. Pickup only Ringwood Vic. Price: $1300

Have got a rb25det manual gearbox gc only 141000 ks. Was behind a standard rb25 in a r33, $1000. Wrecking complete r33 everything but motor. Will sell whole manual conversion for 1400. Let me know what you want. Located sunshine coast qld 4556. Will post parts at buyers cost

FS: rb25/30 Pretty much everything needed to do a dohc turbo 3L conversion. Both head and bottom end good condition, but could definitely use a clean. No conversion processes have been done - block vct oil feed/new pulley, etc Head came off low km r33 s2 (apparently Hyperdrive supplied it) 99% complete - comes with manifolds, cams, covers, fuel rail and injectors etc. Only things I can't see are coilpacks and valley cover. 30 bottom end off patrol with 180k kms. Only taken out for conversion. Head gasket still intact, bores and piston heads look good condition, etc. Comes with all spare parts that are laying near it for them. Bought to do a conversion on my car, but as I have an r34 I wanted a neo head (didn't research properly when buying this) and after adding up all the costs, I will just run the neo in my car as there is nothing wrong with it, for now. Asking $800. Located SOTR, WA.

Hey guys, I am about to drop my 300kw SR20 into a R32 shell and am struggling to find any technical information regarding the swap aside from the below. Use SR cross member Need custom tail shaft I really want to know what is necessary from a wiring perspective and if anyone has already done the swap any hurdles they came across. Yes i have extensively searched the interweb, and pls no comments "why no rb" lol ive heard it all already!!!! Cheers!

So i did try to my research before starting another thread, ive read up on two separate posts that a series 1 r34 gtt bar will straight bolt on to a series 2, but ive also read that id need to change the reo and brackets for my headlight? has anyone swapped a series 2 bar before? (was contemplating the type r front bar swap)
