Hey,

This is message to all those out there looking for a manual conversion. I used a guy called Peter King who previously operated under the name defiant motorsport he does lots of 2jz conversions into things like s13's and hiluxes he also does manual conversions. The conversion took about 1.5 days as he picked it up off me sunday late Sunday afternoon and had it ready about 12 Tuesday morning.

About 8:30 i got a call saying that he thought one on my coolant bungs was leaking at the back of the block so at no cost me to he pulled the gearbox and tailshaft back out only to realise its not leaking and then had it ready and dropped it off to me at about 12 on Tuesday. It cost $500 + parts which is good value considering that GTAuto wanted $5k to do the conversion.

He really is a great guy to deal with and always willing to go the extra mile to make the customer happy.

If anyone wants his details let me know and i can pass them on

Same here Waz.

As much as I wish mine was manual I just can't justify spending the money on it... at the moment anyway.

Have seen a bit of Peters work and have been surprised on all occasions. Especially what used to be NIS25 (RB25 powered AE86).

Did u need to swap to manual ECU?

Na didnt need to change the ECU at all

Lee's gone manual...

WOOT WOOT...

YEHAR...

Congrats dude... Its like getting a new car...

It sure is like getting a new car plus all the extra torque is always welcome but the clutch is going to take a bit of time to get use to as my left leg is a bit weak from all those years of driving a auto

considering how shit autos are, im not

I wouldnt say they are shit just not as fun to drive

you better hide when the new GTR comes then...

seriously every second person mouths off about auto's but how many of them actually driven an auto skyline? given the hostility in the tone of your response, i would say you don't. not the same as jumping into an auto falcadore

having personal experience with owning an auto skyline with 2800rpm high-stall and shift kit, i can say that the gearbox is amazing, and the shifts are incredible. well worth it for 1K including parts and labour.
