Which Manual Console Parts Needed?

[unique1]

hey guys i been around the forums for years and had a manual in my stagea since late 2004, and finally decided ill fork out the cash for a manual console to clean the interior up abit.

i searched the forums looking for part numbers for the console, and drink holder, ash tray etc and cant find them anywhere.

can someone list the parts needed to swap my auto console for a manual one? and part numbers if they have them and cost from Nissan? or anywhere that has then cheaper? can i reuse any parts from my auto console on the manual one to save buying things twice? i remember someone on the forums worked for nissan and said the whole lot was around $750 from him, who was it and is he still around? i got a price ages ago on it and it was like $1000 or so.

so far i can think of...

console shell

ashtray?

shifter surround

rear drink holders?

money tray?

console lid and storage area

what else?

cheers fellas

Buy parts thru www.japanparts.com direct from japan, will be cheaper than nissan aust.

With a good exchange rate now, should be around $700-750 delivered

Just read thru that thread to be sure on all the part numbers.

My s/hand console cost me approx $600 del 18 months ago, I haven't seen once since for sale, they are rare.

Does this mean you are not going to have the shaggin wagon at motorvation Brad?

Or are you ramping up the rice factor in general ?

hey mate none of the auto stuff fits i have a manual vin number it is 6u900wgnc34137969. this is what i used to get bits for my mates stagea that i converted and all brand new you should get away with it for under a grand . hope this helps cheers bernard.i have part numbers some where just got to find where i put them.

I was talking to a bloke the other day that was just about to convert his Stagea and he reckons he is going to use a R34 manual console.. Has anyone done this?

I looked into doing this. The R34 console from the gear stick back is very similiar, approx 10-15mm less in width. The r34 console from the gear stick forward is different and will not match the stagea dash. I was thinking doing a cut and shut with the 2 console. Would require some fancy welding and repaint.

[jasevr4]

Ahh ok.. Considering the saving in cost wouldn't really be that large it sounds like it probably isn't worth it.

yeh i also looked into that and wouldnt work .but i no the black part of the console was 180 brand new the most expensive part is the gear stick surround looking at 225 for that . you can re use your old ash tray in the front part and a r33 coin tray fits . but as for the lid and cup holders you either have to buy gen or do what we done and modify the auto one which took some time and doesnt look that great.as for the cup holders we just put stainless in the hole to cover it .but that my opinion. good luck with it .

but also there are 3 different consoles to pic from all are different. the vin i posted is the console i have used .but in my own car i have a 260rs console which does not have rear cup holders or ash tray .

I bought the parts new from nissan in the thread darren posted. very happy it matches perfectly - why buy a nice luxury wagon and then dodgy it up. not like it is a s13

cheers guys i searched the forums and it came up with heaps of threads but nothing that i was after as usual

Dale the stagea is in motorvation and going great at moment, tune is tommorow for around 500rwhp and nice and safe.

CanaryGSR, yer cars going good and hopefully it lasts abit longer than my last engine

Thanks Darrin ill check out the info mate, appreciate the help

Hey Duncan ive spent alot of cash and never been a fan of buying cosmetic stuff as power is always my number one priority but the bunky looking console is not doing the interior any justice and with certainly makes things look neater.

Just having a read of Beastiens post on the manual conversion thread and he lists all the parts but misses a couple of part no's...

Part Numbers:

96911-0V800 Body-Console

96920-0V800 Lid-Console Box

68430-0V800 Holder Assy-Cup

96935-0V800 Boot-Console

96965-AA001 Holder Assy-Cup

These items are for a Z interior, which is black with the grey roof and rear trim.

The rear ashtray is the same throughout the models

The front ashtray is a slightly different colour so heres the part number to match the RS4S console.

68800-0V700

So is that saying the rear ashtray is the same as a auto one (the one i already have)?

is there any parts missing from that list before i order?

cheers

I'm keen too. So to clarify, there are different colours? I thought all interior plastics were the same in all models. This could make things difficult...

[jasevr4]

I'd be interested if a group buy is worthwhile, but I'm really keen to hear about the colours too...

unique1, did you go ahead with your order? happy with what you received?

[darrinspencer]

I will have a spare one of these in about a weeks time

Mine!

If nobody else has put their hand up yet! Provided it matches my interior: will you have it in time for the meet??

hey mate, havent got around to it yet i been buying other bits and pieces, but will order it one day in the near future. I have been focusing on getting everything engine wise all finished and complete, still some bits to go yet.

[jasevr4]

No problems mate. It's one of those things I want to do, just can't really justify it yet.

Plus it kind of worries me ordering parts from a bunch of numbers!

[jasevr4]
