Hey guys i was wondering if any of you can help me out here...

ive got a 4door v35 with the 8 speed paddle shift and i want to do a manual gearbox conversion when i upgrade to my turbo kit, the problem is, everyone i go to dont know much still as it is a newer car etc and the fact that the "handbrake" is a foot brake where the clutch would usually be, just like in mercedez benz etc...

so what to do??

i dont mind a automatic turbo car but it be nice to drive it in manual =0~~~~~~

cheers bois

I has been done in the US and it works out around $8,000 to $10,000 US for a good conversion, all the handbrake bits are fitted in the manual 4 door like mine so all you would do is order parts with my VIN to get the right ones.

I would always say sell it and buy a 2 door if you want manual and if you love 4 doors that much put a offer in on the couple that are in the country or just waste a lot of money, on G35 it is spoken about a lot with the same answers.

Also have other electronic issues as everything is intertwined with all the running gear, we have looked at this option as to putting a 6 speed into a GT8 as the box needed replacing, we just got a new GT8 box.

Oh My Jesus Christ that is so gay

yea i realised that even the sound system is inter twined too ahaah, cant move a deck out for every thing else to work, either way, i believe the car is lovely and very subtle so i wont complain too much!1

man americans always give me bad news about everything haha

cheers bois

    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
    • The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.
    • Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
