Hey all. My first post on this forum, but i have been involved with cars, and forums, for a while. I live in the USA and only recently have Skyline R32's become legal to import. I purchased a 91 GTS4, but its auto and i would like to convert it to 5 speed.

From the info i gathered, I know the GTR box will go straight in. I just want to verify my parts list. I have yet to find a definitive "YES THATS IT" list anywhere verified by someone with experience.

GTR Box

Shift boot

Clutch/brake pedals

Clutch master cylinder

Clutch slave and lines

Clutch/flywheel/flywheel bolts

Manual Spigot bush

Manual Sandwich Plate

I have a few questions.

Are the RB20 manual sandwich plates different on the gtst and gts4/gtr? Also, what is this thing? Im going to assume it gets sandwiched between the engine and tranny. Correct if wrong.

The cross member is the same? (R32 GTR tranny going in if it matters)

Provided i connect the needed wires in order to start the car, the auto gts4 ecu will work.

Also if i missed anything please tell me.

Hi, I Have a 1993 A31 Cefiro SE4, i have done the Conversion, Your Gts4 and my SE4 are the same, So i can give you some pointers, The R33 GTR gearbox has better gearing, your original sandw plate will be fine, The only difference is the standerd plate does not have the half shaft cut out,The gtr half shaft is a bit bigger than yours. your auto drive shaft should or will bolt straight back on, mine did, The Oil feed lines will bolt straight back on to the gtr box, Change all the oil for the whole 4 wheel drive system so let the rear feed line drain, it will empty the pump on top of ya rear diff and ya oil container, mine is in the boot on the right side,Also the front diff and clutch plate OIl. Leave the speed sensor disconnected, you can connect the reversing light switch i think its the same, I think there was a bit of modification on the rear gearbox mount, Sorry i cant remember that one, Use a 10in Clutch and pressure plate, I USE THE PULL STYLE CLUTCH, Stranded gtr , Its has been good, It has let me down twice on super fast take offs ive spun it but its all in the way you let it go with the throttle, i dun the spins in the first 6mths after the conversion , have dun that for 4 years or so, I also change all my gearing to 4.1 as i want more mid n top end for the open road,250ks check my listing to see the other mods i have done, Oh yeh when you re oil the pump and lines to.to the rear of the g/box is were you bleed it from, Mine took ages to get pressure again but it kinda the norm, Mine has been working perfectly since, but that oil is 20 odd years old, e this burble will help you, Jamind

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
