good question but how does converting a car to manual change it's safety or road worthiness. A RWD manual Stagea is essentially an R33 or R34 GTS-T skyline in a wagon body and the fact that stageas allbeit only AWD ones came factory as manuals also i should think it would be a nullenvoid issue.

im planning on converting my RSV RWD to a maual and if a cop wants to tell me it has to be an auto or get it off the road i will just run him over. lol

Assuming that the car is yet to be imported, I don't think it will be too easy, but the best way to find out for sure is to speak to a few importers and/or compliancers to see what they say...

I see what you're saying David, but if the car is yet to be imported and complied I think there might be issues with actually getting it on the road. What is done to the car afterwards they don't have as much control over, and a cop and/or the RTA can't really say much unless the car is clearly unsafe or unroadworthy. I doubt they could convincingly state that changing it to manual makes it unsafe.

yeah good point goldzilla.

by tha way how much all up for your manual conversion?

have you had issues over this with the boys in blue?

I bought mine already converted, so never had to worry about the hassle and cost of doing it - in fact that's why I snapped up this particular car! Had it almost three years now, and when I was in the market a manual Stagea was MINIMUM $28K...

Never had a hassle with the boys in blue, because I've never been pulled over. Even if I was (or if I ever get pulled over in the future), they'd be none the wiser because it looks factory inside - all s2 RS-Four S console parts were used on the interior.
