R32 or R33?

R32 i guess would be under $2000, box plus change over.

R33, the manual box alone might cost $1500...

Ops sorry. The car is a R32 GTS4 Auto.

So its just a matter of changing the box over? Just that I am wondering if I can pickup the parts second hand?

Ok I have done some research and found a list.

Please confirm that these are the only parts I need for a conversion. Thanks.

Spigot bearing??

Im guessing they would be different on R32 auto and manual.

Are you doing this yourself?

[Xeaon]

DanS15, No I am paying someone to do it just curious so I can start hunting for the parts.

do u have to change driveshaft?? can't u use the auto one?? or am i thinkin about something else .. the thing with the ratios???

[DanS15]

Well if thats the case I can't think of any other parts you would need to supply them with.

If your buying the gearbox from a jap importer sometimes they leave a small section of the driveshaft in the back of the box to stop the oil spilling out during transit. They just cut it with an oxy the lazy buggers. If they do this then I dont think you would have to buy one cos u can just swap the uni joints around from your auto driveshaft. Should check on this cos it will save you some money.

wat would the cost me for a r33?? total including decent hourly paid labour.?

if u have a GTS4, you might as well get a GT-R gearbox, and your drivetrain would be closer to GT-R spec. Might cost more though than normal RWD car, coz yours 4WD, but I dunno.
