Hey guys for those of you who have done this conversion . My r32 4 door mspec needed a new gearbox. I've got an r34 manual box and I can't seem to get the box in the tunnel it hits the top of the tunnel. What's the trick?

Or do I need to start bashing the tunnel?

I stopped for the night but would like to have another go in the morning.

Also I've installed an exedy hyper twin plate already to motor

The twin plate makes it hard as you can't get the box close enough to the motor before it goes up even with a 20 box it's tricky with a twin. What you need to do is loosen the engine mounts, jack the front of the engine up and get someone else to push the back of the engine down. It's a pain but once the 25 box is in you probably won't have to take it out fro a while.

Thanks I got the gearbox in by loosening the engine mounts and jacking the front of the motor up. Once I did that I had more then enough room. I can confirm that a factory manual r32 4 door skylines gearbox crossmember stamped "C" or "A" (they are identical) will not straight bolt up to the rb25 r34 gearbox in the standard position. I welded to bits of flat bar to the top and extended and drilled new holes. Works fine.

I did what most people have done and got the standard tail shaft and had the r33 yoke put on and I think it may be to short. You be the judge. I think it needed to be about 10-15 mm longer just less then an inch.

I'm not 100% if this car was abs or not.it is am m-spec factory manual sunroof ect

All that was done was the r33 yoke was welded to the standard r32 tail shaft. Many people on this forum said that was all it was needed so I was hoping some one could compair

That's all you need. Looks like it was cut down a little short. You could go get yourself an abs diff as the nose is a little longer (like 10-15mm), will push the tailshaft further into the gearbox. The centre bearing should have enough movement in it to allow this.

R34 GTT Tail Shaft yoke for a manual gear box. 

Can you buy the yoke as a spare part for turbo GTT r34? Is the Auto yoke the same I suspect not?

Like most of us with an Auto R34 a manual conversion is on the to-do list. It seems like the gear box is buyable but all the other parts are harder to come buy especially the tail shaft. Oh and the gear stick.

I have a R34, and I did a manual conversion on it, with a R33 GTST Gearbox. You just need the front half of the tailshaft to suit the gearbox you are putting in.

But also as above, you may be surprised how cheap a custom driveshaft is. I've since put a LS into the car and needed 2! driveshafts made up (because I changed the gearbox... yet again) and it's been surprisingly little fuss on the driveshaft front.

Don't use a TR6060 though. Bad ratios.

      Looking for parts for 2003 V35. Specifically a working OEM stereo and passenger side window motor.

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Thanks to @V35_Paul there is an oem stereo available on gumtree, but the fascia is slightly different. It has a flip up screen as opposed to my pop up screen. Am I able to disconnect the radio/cd player from the fascia to use it on mine?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Had to google what a quart is lol.. so rough as guts a litre. That's a bit excessive, also what oil weight are you running? The whole steam cleaning idea isn't too far fetched either. Maybe as you suggested, turn off the WMI (assuming your Kebabtech pulls timing, boost, etc.) and run it for a bit and see if there are any noticeable changes in spark plug colouring.

      Is this pressure plate warped? And do I need a new one?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?

      Nismo 1.5 way Stub axle issue

      OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.

      RB gearbox options

      Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset.
