yeah its gotta happen. More i read about it, and more i think about the auto sedan im driving at the moment, and the autech verison i used to have... much prefer manual for power delivery, power handling and driveability etc.

thats not correct, a 2wd box will bolt upto a 4wd sumped rb25/26 and a gtr box will also bolt upto a 2wd sumped rb engine, they are the same bellhousings and both fit onto the motor which ever sump it has. if u choose a rb25 box from a gtst then obviously u are gonna loose the 4wd but it will bolt onto the motor fine, im not 100% sure on the gearbox crossmembers being the same though.

i stand corrected. must have been thinking about the rb26 rwd conversion

Have managed to find these bits so far -

From a 1992 R32 GTR-

Gearbox

Clutch assembly and flywheel incl bearing

Clutch m/cyl and slave cyl

Handbrake assembly

Pedal set

The car has just done 100,000kms, and slid sideways into a tree. He is using the engine, brakes and diff to go into a 180SX, but is using an R33 GTST gearbox, and the 180 is already a manual vehicle so he doesnt need the above parts.

Was a mint condition GTR skyline mechanically and visually, so its a shame, but at least me buying the gear off him will help with his project!

What else do i need? I'll have to figure something with a centre console - i can have his and maybe adapt the centre piece into the stagea one and retrim it or something. Let me know what else i should get off this car. He is a mate of mine who ive known for a few years, so is happy to not rort me on pricing.

The GTR master is too hard to use as it is a vacuum assisted booster and needs to be recessed into the fire wall. Use a R34/r33 gtst master. Not sure either if the r32 brake pedal will fit. Normally use a R33. Will also need to use a different clutch pedal as well.

I can not confirm all the R32 parts will work or not, as everyone has used and proven most of the R33/r34 parts fit. But unless some tries them, we will all never know.

But gearbox, handbrake setup, clutch assembly all sweet by the sound of it....

Buy the stagea clutch pedal bracket from nissan (Jap) you can use the actual pedal and return spring from an r33 gtst get the clutch master from it aswell then just make a clutch line up for it P.O.P The gtr brake pedal can swap over to the stagea or you can getto mod your stagea pedal. now you just need the handbrake from an r33 ( you will need to weld a couple of mounts onto the trans tunnel for it ( if you want a proper job ) some guy's have bolted mounts through the tunnel but I don't think that would pass an inspection if it was in a crash or somthin? dont forget your spigot bearing/bush grab the front shaft from the gtr they are better than the stagea's.

From an R33 GTsT i need the brake and clutch pedals and master cylinder, and full handbrake assembly (the one from the 32 GTR wont work?)

From nissan i need the clutch pedal bracket

Not sure about str8e180, his name is John and he moves pianos.

spigot bush get new only couple bucks. come to think of it the handbrake should fit, cut his trans tunnel out from r32 (including the hand brake and trans hole) when you lay it over yours you will get a clear picture. I would just weld his in and repaint it up.

well wish me luck then. I'll take photos of the whole engine out transfer.

Whats the easiest way to get it out? Lift the engine and gearbox upwards and out with the bonnet off?

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
