SR and 5 speed swap into SOHC

[vegita319]

Ok guys. I think I have a complete list on what i need to order from the Dealer for my sr swap and my swap from auto to manual.

5 speed swap:
Clutch
Flywheel (resurfacing stock sr of fidanza)
Hard line from master to dampener.
Hard line from dampener to bracket.
Line from bracket to slave
Clutch master (should come with clip)
Clutch Slave (should be on tranny with clip)
Shift knob
Center Console
Boot that connects to tranny (should be part of clip)
Rubber Boot that connects to console
Clutch pedal (should be part of clip)
Cut brake pedal (because rhd brake pedal won't fit and I'm too cheap for new one)

SR into SOHC:
PS low pressure line into steering rack for DOHC
PS high pressure line into steering rack DOHC
PS reservior (should come with clip)

Do you guys think I'm missing anything? I want to use the sr compressor and was planning to get my lines welded to my stock lines since it will probably cost alot to get dohc compressor and and dohc lines. Also do i really need those ps lines because i would imagine the lines are in the clip. Then again I believe the rhd system causes the lines to be on the opposite side. If I'm missing any part or don't need a part due to the fact that a front clip would have one or the fact that sohc should work fine, please feel free to let me know. Thanks.

If there is a junkyard somewhere you might be able to get all the DOHC parts cheap.

So you recommend i get the dohc ps and ac lines from the junk yard instead? It's just my reasoning is PS lines can leak so on and so forth. But then again they are hard lines, so I'm not really sure. Thanks for the response though.

the sohc lines can be re-routed. ask Luke (Blue808) he did that on the s13 in his garage. I would search the junkyards for the 5-speed swap parts too. If you buy a front clip you will have most of the parts you need. Your cheapest and best bet is the front clip.

[vegita319]

when you say sohc lines, do you mean ps or ac? I know ac can be welded with sr or a custom bracket to use the ka sohc will work. O and Luke isn't serving time yet right?

No need to worry about the power steering lines. They can be neatly bent over to the other side.

Other crap is on you.

fyi the pedals in the front clip will work on your car as well.

dont use the dampner.... just bypass it. makes it much easier to bleed.

I ordered the clutch hard line from the local Nissan stealership (+$20) but they said it was no longer stocked. Take the hard line from the clip to a parts store and get some straight brake line (IIRC, 5' @ 7/16" or 9/16" ???????) and bend it to fit. Also, my clip was a 180sx and it did not have the dampner...

You'll also need a hole saw to cut a hole in the firewall for the CMC.

The center console on the front clip is angled wrong. Reuse the LHD one.

you can use to sohc ps lines, they do require bending to the other side, but the main problem i had was the banjo bolt...the sohc hole on the line was too small for the sr ps bolt to fit thru, AND the sohc bolt was also too small for the sr ps pump...so...i had to enlarge the sohc hole on the line for the sr ps bolt to fit into and screw into the sr ps pump...i probably didn't make any sense...pm me for details if you want...

Hey Luke, glad your not going to serve time. Anyways, sr20store.com told me that the brake pedals from the front clip won't fit. Thanks for the help. I guess if worse comes to worse, i can just order the clip and order parts later if I find out things dont work. Only problem with that is that I have more downtime and I only have about 3 weeks at the most to do it.
