starter motors

[jatsvl]

I got the new sc mag today and it has a vl conversion list of things you need it says you need a manual starter motor dose any one Know the difference man/auto? I have a manual which I put a starter from an auto in it dosen't seem any different and it works.

i think the diff is how far the gear throws out of the starter?

[jatsvl]

the list for auto to man conversion from the sc mag is as follows
clutch hydraulics, master + slave cyl and lines connecting both,
a manual spigot bush,
clutch fork and thrust bearing
manual pedal box
manual computer
manual tailshaft yoke
gearbox mounts
manual starter motor? (questionable)

[jatsvl]

there are a few other things required eg,
floor shifter plate,
manual centre console,
I have been looking for more info on this conversion and there is a how to thread on this forum which has been helpful there is also another how to on the calaisturbo.com forum ( not just for calais turbo) which is also helpful. do a search to locate them the calaisturbo one has som pics available. sc mag is going to publish the how to in issue 123. get your info from a few sources as some can be mis under stood or misleeding, hope this helps , good luck!
p.s. I have not done this conversion yet there are some users on here that have who also maybe able to help!

i think there was a mistake in the magazine. the starters are the same. only the turbo ones are different cos of the bigger flywheel.

just for the record after contacting feedback of sc mag they said everyone they spoke to told them they need a manual one even though when they lined them up they appeared exactly the same even the part no. was the same they said it must be different torque ratios?

F*cking idiots. Don't they do research. If the part numbers are the same don't you think they would have realised that they are the same. They mustn't have specified the car was NA.

Another tip is to use the NA flywheel instead of the turbo one with the rb25det gearbox. reason being you can get higher rated clamping pressure clutch kits for the skyline over the rb30et.
