Hey guys

i kno how hard parts can be to find for manual conversions (ie like my 31.........manual parts are gettin thin on the ground). mate of mine is about to pay for a r32 gtst m spec 4 door in auto form.

wants to do a manual conversion. I know RB20 box prices, and i kno that RB30 manual flywheels fit. its just everything else im not sure of, and he wants an idea of part prices and what would be needed. i think i still hav the crossmember from the 20 box i bought, but im not 100% sure where it is LOL

any help would be great, as i'll prob end up helpin him do it

Whats the car used for?

Street duties? He may be better off with a 3k stall convertor and shift kit. Push the boost in to it and the manual will have a damn hard time keeping up with it off the line.

Auto's are always better for straight line. If thats what he enjoys and does most keep the auto. >_<

i think i have a 32 manual crossmember laying around..

remember my thread on 31 forums. massive write up, simu;lar thing for most skylines.

remember to remove auto spigot bush out of the rear of the crank and insert the porus bronze spigot into the crank for the input shaft of the box, if you dont, youll have to pull the box back out anyways...

if you need any help ive done about 5 manual conversions.

There's one bloke here thats dropping his car in today and is being SLUGGED $4800 for a drive in drive out auto to manual conversion with an Rb20t gearbox.

$1400 drive in drive out is well priced. All most too well when you consider the price of a new clutch, the box, centre console, pedal box, tail shaft, clutch master and slave. I would expect up around 2k to 2.5k.

Yeah, that's what I got quoted 1.5yrs ago, so costs may have changed? And they also supply a 2nd hand stock clutch, it would help if you brought a new aftermarket clutch to them, the stock ones dont last too long anyway.

Everything I've read on Stag manual conversions so far leads me to believe it's not worth the trouble.

For starters you need a R33 GTR gbox. $$$

Just get a later model manual to begin with.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
