So i have everything coming soon for this conv.

I know you need to use one section of the 33 tail shaft and one section of the 32 shaft which i have both full shafts, i have the pedal box, slave, master cylinders as well as a few other things.

Now one is a push type clutch (33) and one is a pull type clutch...from what iv read i can either swap the bellhousings to keep my clutch i have in there....OR.....i can retap the 33 bellhousing for the 32 slave to keep my cltuch.

Is this all rite? Anything else anyone recommends?'

i know about the navara speedo cable trick and i intend to do this when i change it all over but that isa bit away and i plan to get the box in first.

Cheers, David

swap housings instead of tapping it. most gtst boxes are push... GTT (34) boxes are pull.. good luck getting one of those for the right price though :banana: i still apply pain cream to my ass from when i bought cats (v low mileage front cut though<20k ).

Not really. You only need the yoke and front uni off the r33 shaft. The rest is useless to you

You don't need the 33 pedal box (i don't even know if it would fit in a 32). The 32 one is fine.

You don't need a 33 master cylinder, 32 one is fine. You need the 33 slave. The 32 line fit's it.

Is your 32 an auto? sounds like you have gone off an auto-manual conversion guide rather than a manual to manual.

If it's a 33 box then it'll be a push type. Your existing clutch will fit no problem as the 32 is a push type as well. 32 bell housing won't fit a 33 (or 34) box.

It's a half hour job to get the r33 cog on the navara drive. You may as well do it straight away as the lack of a speed signal messes with a few things in the r32.

I found that when i tried to mix and match tail shaft components, it couldnt be done. I just went and got a custom tail shaft made up. I also had to modify the gearbox cross member so that the standard holes in the body of the 32 could accommodate the 33 gearbox. Im using all standard r32 equipment, just with an r33 box. I didnt know about the slave cylinder thing; why doesnt the r32 one work with the 33 box?

Do the speedo conversion now, otherwise you wont get a speed signal and you'll lose your power steering. I just had to take my gearbox out because it got stuck in reverse. It ended up being the nylon gear on the end of the speedo drive falling off and lodging somewhere in the gearbox. Im not sure how that happened, so make sure you do it right.

Because the rb20 has a different bolt pattern to the r33 box. It wont bolt on :thumbsup:

I was lucky enough to buy the whole lot someone had fitted to a 32 - gearbox, slave, custom 1 piece alloy tailshaft, modified speedo drive, and the custom gearbox mount.

Oh, ok. Maybe i did get the r33 slave cylinder then.

Yeah, i got a custom 2 piece tail shaft that would easily handle my targeted power for $650 or $700.

Conversion was successful today, took many hours a bit of swearing, welding, tapping, grunting. Most annoying part was that the rear section of my tailshaft was 17mm too short!! wtf?! will be taking that back to be rectified during the week.

280kmh dash is sweet and my guesstimations for 3.9 diff + 17T Navara cog were correct, speedo reads high by 10kmh :(

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By elinde · Posted

      Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!

      I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
