Ok i am a bit of a stale mate with the s30 so i decided to do some thing to the z31
this is where i am at
I just purchased a 5 speed conversion kit so ill be going from auto to 5 speed . so far i have the dash half out ready to install the pedal box I also removed the tail shaft today to have the front yoke changed to suit the 5 speed. I didnt realise what a pain in PITA it woulkd be just to get the tail shaft out. I had to removehalf the exhaust
Ill let you guys know any other pit falls i have along the way
ok i got the dash removed during my lunch brake today. If you follow the steps in this link it really is a pice of cake \

this evening I managed to fit the brake pedal. I was told that tis is a PITA of a job but I managed to get it first time. All i did was use a screw driver Through one side of the pedal pin hole as i guided the pedal pin through the other side. Easy peazy
I also have the clutch pedal in position but not yet bolted up. I hope to have the dash back in tomorrow eve
Yesterday I managed to remove the auto box with out to much hassle. I probably would have managed to get the 5 speed in today but i had a bit of a set back with the spigot bush.
Reference for people attempting this conversion, there is a spacer in the back of the crank shaft for the auto flex plate. This has to come out or the spigot bush wont go in. Ditch this spacer, it is not needed I have to wait till tomorrow so i can get a new spigot bush because i trashed the last one trying to force it through the crank spacer
