Fixed

And it all depends how much effort you are putting into it. Are you going to source the parts yourself and do it yourself? Or have someone else/a workshop find all the parts and do it all for you?

Cost will vary according to which end of the scale you are at

I will try and get all the bits and install myself.

Thanks for the reply

What's involved?  Well, you need;

1) the gearbox.....call it $1000+ for that.

2) front half of tailshaft......call it $200 for that if someone gouges you hard for it, cheaper with luck.

3) a flywheel......so that's several hundred dollars if you get a new lightweight one, or a lot less if you get a stocky cheap.

4) a clutch......that's anywhere from almost nothing for a stocky up to many hundreds for a strong one.

5) the driver's side engine wiring loom from the manual. Much easier to just rip the auto one out and replace than try to re-wire eveything. $$??

6) manual pedal box and cluch pedal and master cylinder. $$?? Depends on who and how you get this from. I'm not sure if the clutch pedal switch wiring is installed in auto cars - I can't remember how much work was involved to do that part when I did my R32.

7) a new slave cylinder is a good idea. Not too expensive. Probably a good idea to get a new braided teflon clutch hose too.

8) new gear oil. Just do it. There's $150.

9) possibly new clutch bolts, flywheel bolts, even bellhousing bolts.

10) manual console shifter insert, a shifter if the box doesn't have one, shifter boot if the old one is stuffed, gear knob if the shifter is bare.

You may need a different gearbox mount. I'm not sure with R33s.

It can all be done reasonably easy,. Fitting the pedal box is a job for small hands and patience though.
