G'day Christian,

Cool to see another person doing the manual conversion. Be sure to write down all the parts (and rough $$) :(

Yeah, I think they were push up until late 93 and 94, then they went to pull. BUt itn't it the R33 GTR box that you need? Or are the R32 and R33 GTR boxes the same ?

Anyone else confirm.

gary you mentioned that it was bit tricky to get the power fc set up. can you explain what you had to do to get it set up. did you wire it into the auto ecu? or did you use a manual ecu from a gtst or a gts-4. also did you need to cut into the firewall to fit the clutch master or did it fit ok with the rb25. did you cut up your console or source a 260rs or series 2 console from somewhere?

a few pics would be cool too if you get a chance.

everything that went into my car was genuine rs 260. Modification of the firewall was still needed as this is different between the auto's and the manual. I dont know exactly why nissan do it but they do. All the centre console was genuine rs 260 and was fairly easy to get out of japan, it took about 10 days.

I have now sold the car to another forum member and he picks the car up on tuesday i think so you will be able to get all the pickies you want as i am sure he will post a hell of a lot, he loves the car and i am glad to see it go to a good home.

Cheers

Gary

good info gary thanks cant wait to see the pics from the new owner

also another question about the ecu does anyone know if you would be better off using an r34gtt or awd rb25 ecu as the sensors for the stagea are the same or is it just a matter of the things like climate control and dash electrics and so forth being different?

OK I'm the new owner of Gary's beast, I dont mind taking pics, I'll borrow digital camera for the weekend and go crazy, so what pics do you want?

And I am by no means a mechanic so just tell me where you want the camera pointed at in small words a four year old could understand and I'll do my best :(

Oh and going from a fairly modded r33 (~180rwkw) to this beast (??awkw) was the best decision i ever made, the stagea has a lot more grunt running on about the same boost, and handles a lot better, mainly due to the stagea having proper suspension setup, shocks and springs and the old r33 had stock suspension.

Yeah ummmm I am not too keen to start ripping off the surronds, mainly because I only see the car on the weekends atm, and dont want to ripp it all off and not be able to get it back on, yes it is possible for me to be that unco :unsure:

No way it is going up on a hoist as I do not know anyone close by that would put it up for me.

I do understand that pics of the surround are goign to be useless though so we'll see what I can do, I'll try to get some pics of underneath the car, but dont know what I am really looking for though, so I'll just go crazy and take as many as I can ;)

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
