Pics Anyone?

Het Guys... I'm gonna be starting this on the weekend, what Pics would people like? I am guessing mainly tailshaft lengths, and where to cut holes in the firewall?

I just finish my conversion on my 4 doors Skyline, the only problem I have is the TCS and SLIP light is on permanent as well, please help! Beside that my 4 doors goes like hell and burn out like crazy, I wish I did it long ago, my one is totally stock but man! The fun factor is indescribable.

Hey mate, i did mine over a month ago but never hooked up my speedo or reverse lights coz i couldn't figure out how to. how did ya do that side of thing? do ya have any pics?

I did the reverse light wiring as per the giude at the start. are the pic's not working?

Speedo wiring is just wired the speedo sensor from the box to the old one, the plugs where different but just got a new water proof plug from auto one and wired it in, doesnt matter which wire goes to which.

Yeah pics aren;t working which has had me stuffed. Done over 500ks of driving this weekend all over Victori without a speedo, plus engine light is on from not hooking up the speed sensor wire i think.

Bad part is one of my wires has broken off the reverse sensor so i need to remove it to re solder it.... and then about 3 weeks ago i did my back so atm can;t even lie under my car ad fix it. haha... at least it not auto anymore though.

Hey mate! I had to pay a guy I know to short out the electrical side, but still he manage to everything else except for the TCS/traction, so in the end I do not want him to charge me an arm for f**king around any longer, I just took out the lights so I don't have to see those anymore, but who care, the manual supposed for slide, spin and burn out right?

I have just attempted to wire up my reverse lights exactly as described in this "how to" and got nothing... does anyone have any clues as to how it's done?

I followed - one wire coming off reverse switch connects to one grey wire and one black with pink wire from auto loom and the other wire goes to the red wire on the auto loom... but yeah, lights didnt work.

Hey this is a great DIY! Just curious... none of my laptops show any of the pictures? I really need them? Is there a way I can get the photos?

I am attempting this same conversion next week! Pictures would be a GREAT help!!

I'm just puting RB25Det Neo6 to Nissan Patrol Y61 (GU) manual. I've got Auto Ecu and engine loom from Stagea. I removed abs/tps and other unnecessary (I hope) plugs from the engine loom.

Can you tell me - should I connect Ecu Pin 39 park/neutral position signal to something (what - which Ecu pin etc.) or leave it alone. There are no wires (mentioned in this topic - black with a pink stripe and grey. These two wires need to be joined to make the car think its in neutral, thus letting you start the car in my loom. So what I have to do with Ecu pin 39.

In the Skyline service manual I have read that on Park/Neutral position there is - 0 Volts on this Ecu Pin and on Drive position there is 4,7V.

So I think I can leave it without any wiring to start the engine - am I right. Greetings.

Ok I'm looking to do this conversion sometime in the near future (R34 GTT Tiptronic sedan) and need to start collecting parts.

Can someone who's done this confirm if this is a complete list of everything:

  • Clutch (new, to suit box) with lines, master and slave cylinders, reservoir, pedal
  • Flywheel (machined) with bolts
  • Gearbox (turbo R33 or R34) with bolts, rubber and mounts, sandwich plate, sensors
  • Manual spigot bush
  • Pedals: clutch, brake, assembly
  • Shifter
  • Tailshaft (front part, R33 or R34 should do)

From this thread and elsewhere my understanding is that Auto ECU will be fine (mine's got Nistune so I don't want to have to redo that) and there's no need to change instrument cluster, steering wheel, or diff either - does that sound right?

Also, is there such a thing as a trans cooler for/with the manual gearbox? If so, can I just re-plumb the existing auto trans cooler for this, or no? (I've got a slightly bigged Davies Craig unit).

Thanks!

Don't buy a clutch until you know which gearbox your getting, as the R34 is a pull type clutch.

I'd recommend trying to get everything from the one car if possible.

As for the tranny cooler, put it on EBay. Manuals don't run coolers. Theoretically you could set anything up, but,too much dicking around with finding a spot to draw from, fittings, lines & then there's the matter of a pump.

Of course, makes sense. I'm keen on getting an R34 box to have all parts from the same era, although clutches will be more expensive: ~$600 R33 vs. ~$750 for an NPC organic that should hold around 300rwkw.

That's a good point. If possible, I'd also prefer a recent part-out as opposed to having had the parts sitting on the shelf for months/years.

Thanks for the tip, good to know!

Anytime.

The NPC single plate organic isn't too bad, I've just ticked over 2,000km on mine, with nowhere near 300wkw.......yet!

These clutches are re-stickered Exedy units, so, shop around!

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
