Well its a bit quiet and boring in here.. so i thought I'd post some random pictures of the conversion of my car as I go.. Started Sunday afternoon, so not doing too bad so far..

Before.. one still working, but slightly overheating and slow rb20 .. Lets get rid of that for the sake of it..

So far got most of the dash apart, to get things ready to start wiring the RB25 engine loom into the body loom when the engine is in.. and also to get the old RB20 loom out.. Nice and messy.. I've done this before in the old r33, so believe it or not, it all goes back together pretty easily, as long as you remember where everything went.

Cool,

Hey where did you get that intercooler piping done in the first pic? That is a far more sensible route for the pipes than the usual setup where the cool side of the pipes run over the radiator.

Edited by JCMarshall_Law

I basically bought it from another forum member over in WA.. it's a custom job though. The only real disadvantage seems to be the heat is transferred to the engine bay a bit more, rather than just the intercooler.. but post cooler seems pretty damn cold.

Hopefully the RB25 allow me to use the same piping, or I guess its time to get some more made up... Thinking 3" may be better with some more power so will see how it goes.

car conversions are fun. good to see yours is comin along gordo

*trip down memory lane*

have fun!

anyway gordo, looks good, keep us updated mate, :D

nice james... always fun to pull the car apart and work out how the hell to put it back together afterwards. Wiring will be fun too.

Just waiting on the clutch and a few other tiny parts now to do much more on mine.. thats the crappy part of the conversion so far, just waiting on things!

Hey Gordo....

Mate went past your place on Tuesday and noticed that you had some one over with a ladder and i saw you talking out the front... I beeped and i wanted to drop in but my gf was driving her s15 and she could not wait to get to harbour town...

Sorry dude...

I will catch up with ya soon...

um.. yeah, i moved to arundel :) so you probably just confused the heck out of him.. hehe.

Well I got the clutch the other day. Going for a Cushioned Ceramic and see how that stacks up... Thats pretty much the last piece of the parts puzzle.

If anybody needs to know the number for a distributor of the Xtreme clutches on the goldcoast btw, send us a PM.

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
