hi, i am thinking of buying an r32gts-t. but it seems that the r32 gts-t auto is way cheapers than the manual. So i might go for the auto. So far i have read 2 centre's for conversion from auto to manual. Which is ICE performance and genesis in victoria. Between these 2, anyone knows which is better in terms of pricing , service and after sales service? i have heard good comments on both, but i have also read some negative ones on ice performance , but thats only a few.. suggestions anyone? Would 2.5k enough for the conversion ? thankx..

sometimes buying a manual works out cheaper in the first place, sometimes it doesn't, you have to work it out on the specific car.... but buying manual in the first place saves hassel, unless the gearbox is already on it's way out, don't forget that the clutch might need replacing in the near future also.

Hope this helps. Now i must take posters off my walls because it has to be painted... bayside blue... or gunmetal grey?? haha...

well i think its cheaper to do yourself, but soon as you add labour into it for somebody else to do it, goodbye budget.. :wavey:

If you are lucky, and track down them yourself, you will get all the parts required for around $1000 (thats about what its going to cost me).. Then just labour, which may be another $1000.

$2k should cover it.

thanx guys for the advices, hmmm a guy quoted 12.5k for a gts-t manual, how much u guys think i shoud bargain with him for ?11k ? if the manual is not too costly, i would of course go with the manual, reason i'm considering an auto is coz of the price. thanks again !

That all depends on the car itself, person selling it, location, day and time.

If the car is riddled with faults and the owner is trying to find a dummy to buy the car he will ask for 12.5K.

My mate sold his imacculate R32 Gts-t (manual) for 15K. It was a '93 model with factory leather seats, lightly modified and pulled almost 150rwkw at ICE Performance with only an exhaust, pod, 10psi boost, remapped ecu chip and nothing else. ICE completed a thorough check, dyno runs and test drive (on the buyer's expense) and could not fault it.

Where about do you live and where is the car located?

hmmm yea, i live in box hill, as where the car is located , i dont know yet, he will be sending me pics of the car in these 2 days . Then i will see how it goes. Is it realistic to get a average or above average condition r32 gts-t manual 2 door for 10.5 or somehwere near there?

im getting mine converted to a 5 spd its going to cost me roughly 2.5k im getting the conversion lightened flywheel HD clutch n my computer remapped ive paid for all the parts all i need to pay for now is labor... thats at XTC

so far ive forked out 2k so im guessing about 500 for labor...

    • Yeah, it was a pretty deep dig.
    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
