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.

Yeah looks like whoever did your tailshaft made it to short. How did you get the tailshaft made up? Was it a tailshaft from a non abs or abs r32? are you using a abs or non abs diff?

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.

Just ask for a new one when you are in a driveshaft shop asking them to make you a new driveshaft. Nissan dont have them buy any driveshaft place will be able to get them.

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.

Which is when you then drop in the LS to suit the gear ratios.!

/sneaky.

Even if you do that, still bad ratios! (I have no idea what people were thinking here)

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If the tyres were fitted when new, I wouldn't expect much over 5 years of use. Especially if the car lives outside full time.  If the tyres had been stored under ideal conditions and are being purchased new, I'd fit a set of already 5 year old tyres if I only expected to get 1 to 2 years of use out of them.  I've purchased many a set of new (but quite old) tyres from St George Tyres when I just needed some decent rear tyres to drift on.  Here is a pretty crazy example, can't say I've ever bought 11 year old tyres from them before though lol.  https://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/momo-tyres-245-45-17-outrun-m3-official-product-by-momo-italy.html

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
