Where to do Manual conversion??

[Nivek]

Hi Guys,

Can any kind soul in Mlebourne can recommend a reliable workshop for me to change my automatic 96' R33 GTST skyline to a manual one. BTW... any ideas how much would that cost if i am juz after a simple one nothing fancy like 40% heavy duty, short shift or 3 plate stuff.....etc

Thanks..

[fooey]

Wouldn't it be cheaper to sell it as is and buy a manual one?

Not to mention once you do that modification, your insurance (and anyone who you sell it to) will be a bit hazy cause its a major change to the car - Ie you cant call it a manual gts-t legally, you have to call it a auto converted to manual gts-t...

Well,

Leewah from ICE Performance won the dyno comp on recent Melb Autosalon. So they must know skylines well.

I did a manual conversion with ICE Performance, fitted with Daiken Organic Clutch. Car drives well and nicer than when it was with auto box.

Ask for Gerald or Nigel or you can pm leewah on this forum too.

Regarding insurance, I informed Just Car that I put in manual gearbox in my auto R33, so no hassles with them.

Good luck mate.

well i got a half cut r33 from japan on a ship as we speak.

i will see if vms can to the job 1st. then i might go to ice.

[pushead]

was wondering will the manual convo feel exactly as an orginal manual line?

[meggala]

yes

[Raza]

but i will still keep the auto box.

better for big hp...

but im only thinking about the drag strip.

if u like to drift.. manual all the way.unless u own a commo

because people who own auto commo think they were built for drift racing..

auto's are more Consistent on take off...

unless u own a AWD car?????

well one of the fasted gts-t in aust is an auto.it pulled 10's. that dont mean auto's are better.

manual with big hp is hard to stop wheel spin on take off.

Are u referring to the sub-zero's auto GTS-t?

I think their gts-t doesn't use the factory auto box, think it was a 3-speed special auto gearbox made by an australian transmission specialist... can't remember the name tho.

U might b able to strengthen ur auto box for about $1500-2000, but I doubt you'll get to 10s with that. Even the manual ones may need straight cut gearboxes like Trust etc if u wanna achieve that performance.
