C34 Laurel 5speed Conversion

Hey all,

I'm not sure if too many will be able to help me as I dont think the c34 is all that common in australia?

I plan on swapping my laurel from auto to manual in a few months and haven't quite figured out which bits to use. My friend told me to use an rb20 tranny and then a C33 5spd driveshaft will be bolt on, but didn't mention which tranny mount to use. I'd rather use a 25 tranny, is there a straight bolt on way for an RB25 tranny?

Also, does anyone know how I would rig up the handbrake cable, since the one on my car is the foot-handbrake.

I'm pretty sure I use a r33 or s14 pedal and maybe use the r33 lines from master to slave.

And I know to use the 33 ecu, thats common sense, and the wiring is just two wires i think, for the neutral switch.

It will cost me $3k to get it done professionally, but I'm trying to keep it about $1.5k at the most. I'm know how to do a 5speed swap, I'm just unsure of which parts to use.

I can get my speedo sorted out later, i just want to know what to use.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

      What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
