And yes I have done searches on previous threads & from that I have Questions I hope you guys can help me with or put me in touch with people who have done this. Ok my car 1998 S1. Doner car is a 2000 model RS4 S2 correct me if Iam wrong R33GTR box? Push or pull?

This is a list of parts I think I need as sourced through searches.

1. Do i need the flywheel & bolts off doner manual car or will the auto one ok? (knowledge on flywheels/transmitions limited as you can see)

2. Clutch pressure plate & bolts.

3. Spigot bush

4. Bellhousing bolts. (I think there longer in the manual)

5. Clutch master & Slave.

6. Clutch piping line

7. Clutch & Brake pedals with mounting bracket & bolts

8. Handbrake lever, mounting bracket, cable & bolts

9. CTR console

Please add to my shopping list if I have missed anything. Any help will be appreciated.

If I go ahead with project any volunteers to assist will be rewarded handsomely (Free Beer-Food)Ha! Ha!I'm in the Newcastle area. NSW

Thanks again Shane

Is your donor car a factory manual (RS4-S) or is it an auto that was converted? If it's an RS4-S the gearbox will be pull type.

You should be able to use the flywheel from the donor car without any problems.

I dont know whether the flywheel bolts differ from auto or manual, but I would be going brand new ones from nissan anyway, rather than reusing old ones.

As for your other parts, looks like you have most of it covered. You will also need the manual footrest, and the rubber boots around the gear shifter.

I'm going to be doing the conversion very soon, here is my parts list if you want to look at it

you dont have a flywheel in your stagea at the moment you have a drive plate/flex plate with a torque convertor bolted to it. you will need the flywheel as stated above. i would also say you need the flywheel bolts to suit given that the flywheel will be much thicker than the plate that comes off. not sure but possibly the gearbox mount and tailshaft are different?

Thanks Taylor... When it comes to gearboxes i'm like a fish out of water. Hopefully after this conversion my knowledge on them will improve...I think i'm ok with using the auto Tailshafts & mounts as I found in a search done previous

Cheers Brian,yes it is a factory manual. So is the factory a R33 or R32? If you don't mind me asking how much was your new clutch, spigot bush & gasket set?

I dont know whether the RS4-S is an R33 GTR or a GTS-4 gearbox, or if there is even a difference between the two. It's definitely not an R32 item though.

I cant remember the exact price off the top of my head at the moment, I bought the seal kit and clutch from www,kudosmotorsports.com, as well as a couple of other bits and pieces.

Remember that push type clutches are cheaper than pull type though, so you will probably have to pay a little bit more for whatever clutch you choose

      Another Crank No start thread - r34 rb20 neo + t

      If you really don't want to touch anything you can try to trigger off the timing loop just to see if it's sparking semi-regularly. Don't trust it for actual timing measurements.

      r34 starting problem

      By r34lad · Posted

      Hey everyone, I have a r34 GTT s1, im having a problem with my skyline, ive let the car sit in the garage for the last couple of months and havent run it and ive gone to fire her up today and it cranks but doesnt fire, i have been having problems with it previously where it wouldnt start again after driving it around for a bit. It use to start fine on cold start ups but if you drove to the petrol station and fueled it up and went to go start it again, it would just crank and not fire untill you let it rest for a few hours, the car doesn't over heat it sits perfectly in the middle while driving when warmed up. Im thinking this problem has caught up maybe and now it just wont start at all. The car runs on e85, ive checked the e85 seems to be fine. I can hear the fuel priming before you go to start it and checked all my fuses and relays. List of things I replaced today - New battery - New sparkplugs - New Coolant temp sensor I was thinking about testing the CAS but from what ive seen online, if the CAS is cooked, the car will actually start up but then die instantly? as mine just doesn't fire at all. Does anyone have any idea or have encountered the same problems? thanks

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Modern reg stuff now, they'd have a wide input range which would push through a buck converter, it would need to be able to maintain voltage for cranking conditions (sub 9V at times). Likely runs something like an internal 6V rail, and then further voltage regulators depending on which circuit/area it is feeding. Modern voltage regs, like what I'm starting a new power supply design with at work, will let me run a 5V rail output, and as long as my input is equal to or greater than 5V, I have a 5V output. Except I'm not pushing a 5V rail in our system as I don't need one, we're setting up for a 3.8V rail. Our new design will allow me 6 to 60VDC input, and everything else doesn't care, even when I start pushing a few Amp outputs.   Realistically, the voltage drop off could be caused by a few things though, one could be literally the alternator is dieing, and hence charge power is dropping, which also means on a straight hard pull you're starting to send the battery flat... (Not that likely from a single couple of gear pull if the battery was fully charged). However, having earth issues, like stray earths not connected, or someone having put a ground loop in, will see the ECU appear to end up with lower voltage "input", mainly because the "ground" is no longer equivalent to battery negative. If they're comparing the input voltage using sensory ground for example, and sensor ground is what is in that ground loop, than the sensor output voltage will actually start to be reduced, when compared to battery ground... Yeah, ground wiring design can start to be a bitch... Also voltage going weird from inductive loads not being managed properly is another real bitch... Hence, why I asked above about how everything was wired in. If OP knows, and can post all of the actual connections from the ECU pin out, as well as what wires are joined where in the loom, which grounds from the ECU have ground points and where they are etc. Would help to see if there is a ground issue. The part I'd start with though, is putting a mechanical oil pressure gauge on to confirm the theory. Otherwise the next track day when the threshold is lowered could result in another of @Duncan favourite types of jokes... Knock knocks... Pretty sure this is what @GTSBoy is also self high fiving...  Is all great that we have a decent theory... But they need to prove it before relying on it...

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      When I worked at BlueScope Steel, we had an Ethernet network, with every switch setup with a duplicate switch. Even when looking at all the primary switches, they had duplicate links, there was then also duplicated links between the primary in section A, to the duplicate in section B. So for each location that had networking, there was 8 network links. This was all back around 2007. That setup caused sooooo many issues, as many of those links were fibre. The network guys ran everything with Spanning Tree Protocol. And then we had great joy... The FOC Transceivers were slowly dieing, but in an intermittent way. And a lot of the time as they started to die, they'd drop offline for about 30 seconds... Spanning Tree Protocol was requiring 45 seconds to "rewire" the network... And by the time it was mostly finished, it had to start again as the transceiver was back online... Queue entire production network being constantly spammed with the spanning tree protocol messages...   My god I do NOT miss working in huge environments like that!
