Manual conversion checklist

[Terminal]

er... when i get some money saved for it. i have almost all parts, just need to find time.

Oh and i'm waiting to get my brothers R33 registered so i have a car to drive around while it's in the shop.

i'm guessing within the next month or 2

[AMS]

Dont you have your bro's Chaser?

[Terminal]

Nah my dad is using it, and he's in Tamworth at the moment. i want the skyline though, relive the old days

[AMS]

Ah yes Tamworth is the place to be I'll keep an eye out for it...

[Terminal]

He's working with a drill rig out of town, you might see it parked at a motel somewhere as he uses the work truck out bush

[EGA41T]

not as far as i'm aware. i'm using an R33 series 2 ecu so i can plug a powerfc into it.

how do you get around the 4wd issue when using that ecu?

[Terminal]

the ATESSA controller is separate to the ECU, so it doesn't matter what computer you use, so long as it supports the engine/gearbox

[darrinspencer]

I just won this on Yahoo auction

45,000 yen

[beastien]

Nice find, they're very hard to come by

[GoldZilla]

Good work, Darrin.

Looks the same as the one in my car, which is apparently (according to Beastien) the series 2 console. It looks like it has the glvebox that opens both ways - either towards the driver or the passenger.

[Ska]

260RS console all the way baby!

I'll sell you mine for $2000

[Terminal]

Is there much difference?

i need to get mine recovered to match my leather interior.

[Terminal]

got my gearbox today! yeah! one step closer

[avalonea]

wow I just read that whole thing

there went my day ,

I do have a idea with the surround for the shifter, friend of mine had a guy do some custom plastics work for him in his liberty for his foldout head unit ect. was 100% mint work * ill dig the photos up later *

anyway . I’m thinking personally ill ditch the cup piece at the back . and have him put in the slot for the hand break and edit where the auto went to put the piece under there for the gear boot.

stuffed if I’m paying 2k for it all

I havent pulled mine apart yet. but how is it under the auto peice. ie, is there enouf room to mount the handbreak gear. is there much junk under there the auto shifter sits ?

[Ska]

Yeah there is not too much stuff under mine, and there is more than enough room for the handbrake, just make sure they weld yours in properly..... mine was held on with 2 or 3 tack welds that were done by an eplieptic monkey, so one day they broke, I havent got it fixed yet, not much use for a handbrake here in Rocky

[avalonea]

haha yeah . i think bolting it down might be a idear ect

Tho thanks for the info! i think my idear will prove to be more budget

`josh

[Ska]

Yeah I am going to go for 4-5 big high tensile bolts and then weld them to the floorpan, that way it aint never coming off

So when did you buy a Stag, did you get rid of the sil80?

[avalonea]

Yep . got rid of my lovely s13

only so far that much power on rwd gets you eh . wanted something bigger / and more potentional . let alone something newer * s13 was starting to get a bit old * plus still have a track s13 lol

So first move is to get rid of this shocking auto. Then swap the rb25 out for something with a bit more poke

`josh

[Ska]

I remember nearly taking you out on the mountain when your furl pump died

Ahhh good times!

Good to see you upgraded, and yeah you'll always have the PSOO!
