Another Manual Conversion Question?

[STAGING]

I know there are numerous other threads on manual conversions, but heres another one........

I got my s1 stage a few months ago and as i despise auto im considering a conversion, now i know everyone talksabout using GTR parts, but if i could get my hands on a 2000 s2 manual stage, is it a straight swap??

Because ive read in other threads that people have had bit of trouble getting in the GTR boxes without dropping the sub frame, is the s2 manual a straight swap???

And can anyone get there hand on an center console insert to suit manual in a s1???

...if you can get ur hands on a series 2 manual.. the only one i know of is Andy's... one just came up for sale on prestigemotorsport or something for 24 Grand... - just buy Andy's car and sell ur's

I know nothing about the conversion but i do know that finding an s2 manual (or simply manual box) will be a pricey and difficult experience

Good luck...

Yep, S2 RS Four S half cut will have everything, including a NEO RB25DET which would be nice . I asked one of the brokers how much for a half cut in my driveway and he quoted around 7K, which I think is a little over the top price wise, but still, you can work back from there and see if it is worth doing for a start.

Your S1 + Half cut + Labour (or your time/skill) - any unused parts you can possibly sell = is it worth it?

Used S1 parts are hard to sell, try selling a used RB25 and it will sell easy enough, just not for a great deal of money...

I was pretty keen a while back, then I went back through Alex's thread on why he wouldn't do it... Not doing it at the moment but I would still like to! I guess it is not a financial decision and if you base it on finance you wouldn't do it. As far as improving your car I would go for it if (that much) money doesn't matter.

Cheers Luke, you basically answered my question in one line?

Another question??? How much does a neo rb25 go for??

Search the for sale section (of the main site), probably the best indication of "real" prices.

I would buy andy's if i hadn't just bought this one, and 26 gran is just a tad out of my league.
