Well ive decided that soon im going to be doing a manual conversion on my R34 and do away with the tiptronic. Im just wondering if anyone knows a bit about whats involved and what sort of price i should be looking at. Also where could i get it done.

I know that JDM recently had it done so if you could give me a bit of help it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Give all automotive import spares in QLD a ring they always have a couple of boxes hanging around. You will need the box, tailshaft, lines, lume, master cylinder etc etc. But they will sell it to you as a conversion kit. You are better off gettinga r34 one as the 33 box will fit but you have to get everything else made up such as tail shaft lume etc.

Take it to Steve at JAZMAC he did mine and has done all sort of conversions they guy is awsome. And he also knows your car i took it there when my girl was looking at buying it.

I can't remember the price but it was something between 3-4K all up with new clutch.

Deff take it to steve at JAZMAC though 83916200

i wouldnt have a clue what kind out box is in it!!!!!!!!!!!!! all i know it was gonna cost an extra $3000 but i made sure i got it included in the $20,000 that i paid all up. :P

I joke becasue i love. Your car is hot for sure!

Here you go champ

Just ask for a R34 manual conversion kit, i'm sure they will have one, or if not they can get one very quickly. Lots of the QLD boy use this place they put me onto them.

Then to instal you can't go past

Best of luck man, you will really tell the difference.

i am glad that my boyfriend persuaded me to get her converted to manual, i wasnt going to..........but im pretty glad i did :P

certaintly worth it.

only thing is still have the tiptronic steering wheel, and there is wiring that is bundled up underneath the car and behind the stereo head deck, but they changed the dash cluster which was nice of them

I still have the steering wheel.

Only bad thing about changing the dash is you don't know how many kms it's done. Unless you knew before which you most prob did.

the first pics ive got got of the car it is still an auto tiptronic, but somehow they have managed to get the same km's on the new cluster. dont ask me how!!!!!!!

i didnt know how many km's where on the new cluster though

i kno steve at JAZMAC, nice guy, tells you everything and no bullshitin around.

ive done a few manual conversions...never on a 34 but the same procedure applies.....whoever you get to do it...make sure they know about the AUTO SPIGOT BUSH needs to be replaced with the MANUAL SPIGOT BUSH. sometimes people forget this causing grinding noises, hard shifting and in some cases a f**ked input shaft. So they end up spending another day pullin the box out again.

cant blame you, mine had 52 xxx on it sitting over in japan, there must be some way of getting the odo the same as the auto one....maybe ask nissan perhaps???????????

they probably only changed the shell not the whole dash

all u need is a manual dash cover just get one from ebay and put it over ur existing auto dash

i bought a faulty manual dash for mine and changed the cover over no worries

or else make a brush metal plate to go over it like the gtrs do

BTW japanese motorsport just got an r34 turbo cut in lastweek? think it was manual not 100% sure

it had the factory option momo wheel on it so someone could use it instead of their auto one

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
