hey,

i am planning on buying an rb25det gearbox this week.

if there is anyone else in melb who wants one too.

then we can buy 2 at the same time, and its sure to lower the price of one. (as they are pretty dear to start with)

they want around 1100 for a box, so we could get it for under a grand if we went together.

let me know, as this week is when i am buying one.

cheers

for an r33 i reckon it could be done for around $1500 if ya did the labour yourself. but it would depend how much you picked up some other the stuff.

e.g

box $1000 (with clutch flywheel, gearstick, crossmember)

tailshaft $250

pedals $150

clutch master, lines, slave, knob. $100

anyways i need an r33 box, and i been to a couple of places so far. they showed no room for negotiation so they dont get my money, which i was willing to hand over right there and then.

BUt i need a box, so come on. someone must have one.

and who actually wants to sell it, for reasonable price.

converting what?

manual to auto. or what a whole engine and gearbox?

do the work yourself will be cheaper.

on another note.

does anyone know if a auto starter motor can be used with the manual gearbox. i have seen nothing on the conversions things to do list.

but... just wanna know

I did mine for $2600. I supp ICE my car with no motor and box, they did the pedal box and master cylinder and supp the box with brand new heavy duty exedy clutch and other bits and I put it all in with my bro in law on the ground was fun(not) but worth it, after that I got it towed to the auto elec ICE recommended and that cost all up 80 bucks took him about a day. It would've cost me an easy $3500 if I didn't do it...bonus other than saving quite a bit of money was the knowledge I gained from this conversion as I am no mechanic. ;)

a few things.

1) reverse lights

2) speedo drive is diff from auto to manwell.,

3) remove inhibitor swtich on auto otherwise no starto!!!

not sure about tacho... auto computer runs the manual fine ..

if you wanna do it yourself good luck but for the money I paid the auto elec I think it was cheap....

other handy hints on r33 its much easier if engine is out.. pressing is there for slave clylinder but will need to drill holes, fitting the pedal box is a bitch holes are all there though you need to drop the steering col hope u like being upside down for a while hehhehe. also will need to drill the spigot bush thingo out of the auto trans which is a bitch of a job also you will need a decent drill and drill bit. thinks thats it oh and also the clutch cable from the slave cylinder as well..

      How can I remove this adhesive?

      By PranK · Posted

      A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.

      Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.

      Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      I see what you posted, but how could a warning light be going on and off if there is no sender for it?  The only other explanation is that the wire that used to go to the sender from the warning light is earthing somehow in the loom or at the connector, or that you have connected the warning light wire to something (maybe the temp sender?).
