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 ;)

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
