Rolls: yup.. that went out the window.. if those linkages werent there the thing would fit sweet as! but noooo. you can get internally shifted jericos but they are pricey.. about 6K for a internally shifted 5 speed road race one. (so about 8K in the car i guess)

and yeah i had a rb25 box in the s14 before it fits no worries.. i bashed the tunnel around the starter motor hump to make it easier but thats about it. and yes it looks like you'd have to chop the tunnel in a skyline also... not for a street car :S

whole conversion is turning out to be harder then i thought.. however thats due to no one else having done it before and making it up as i go,.

haha yeah external shifters is so old school... Jerico make an internally shifted version in 5 speed but its an extra 2.5K over the price of a basic one.

i called castlemaine rod shop.. they couldnt guarantee that the bellhousing would be strong enough for over 500 rwhp and for motorsport.. their casting is thin walled.. i was a bit turned off from that i guess and went to dellow.

the shifter on there atm is a borrowed item until Garage 7 finish building and designing a sequential shifter for it. dont like the renegate ones they seem way overpriced for what is basically a glorified hurst shifter.

Oh wow, amazing job dude. Looking at your previous post I thought the inside was going to be butchered, but that little stitch up job looks awesome! How much further over is the shifter, will that make it any harder to drive?

haha i have proper shifter on now!

33 sounds good :D

Haha, wish I could be at the event to see this in action, this has to be one of the most developed cars out there... Think it's time to open a workshop together !!! Your skill and my nothing would be awesome lol. But seriously.... Workshop....

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
