hi all i just wanted to know how much is involved ie is there any hard parts that need to be addressed when doing a manual conversion in a 32. i have emailed quite a few wrecking places all over aus and the best (kit) comes from D1 garage for 1000 including everything. is there cheaper options?

if this has allready been done to death please point me in the right direction as i couldnt find anything.

secondly what is a good cheapish clutch to use if a bit of spirited driveing is needed? only needs to handle mild power

and thirdly do the auto 32s come with an open or viscus diff? i want to get a 2 way later but for now i would like to know. also if it does have an open wheeler could shagged viscuss be cheaply shimed up and used for the time being or is that just a waste of time? i just read a thread on this but no one realy had any total prices.

thanks for any input or just pointing me in the right direction.

only telling you what other people have told me coz i asked the same thing yesterday.

youll need:

manual tailshaft

pedals (brake, clutch)

clutch line

clutch slave cylinder

clutch master cylinder

manual flywheel and bolts (different sized bolts)

rb20 gearbox

tunnel rubber boot

inside plastic surround and gearboot

clutch + clutch pressure plate

clutch trust bearing

ive heard that the auto ecu is useable but changes the gear ratios, not sure how true it is tho

dont bother with a stock rb20 clutch either.

thats all the info i got, big up to predator on these forums who gave me the info :)

gl with it all, steve :)

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
