Auto- Manual Conversion

[R3TWO]

Gday All,

Just wondering if anyone/ knows of anyone one who has had their car converted from auto-manual and if so, where's the best place(s)? It is a conversion for an R32.

Also, what are the price ranges?

Cheers!

Funny you should mention that.....

I'm in the middle of a conversion right now

Costs are

Gearbox $500 -700

Flywheel $100 -150

Clutch $ 200 and up

Clutch Pedal $20

Hydraulics $80

Spigot bush $7

Interior bits $30

Tailshaft $100-150

so approx $1500 plus labour,

If you could get a drive in drive out for under $2k, you'd be laughing.

and the auto stuff you pull out is worthless, I want $50 for the lot... trans, tailshaft, shifter etc, but nobody wants it.

shop around bud and make sure you upgrade your clutch while your at it....i had my first r32 done 5 years ago for $1800 at jaustec and ive got a friend getting a silvia done for $1200 soon.....but if you get a bargain price make sure you get a warranty aswell..i think most places will give you a month...

Really? That sounds like a good price. Is FBI their actual name or is that an acronym for their actual name?

No worries, will do. Is it worth going for a GTR gearbox instead of the stock GTST?

Cheers again

Acronym for Four Brothers Import. Their located on Hampstead Rd somewhere, cant miss it as they have a display of imports out front.

yes or a r33 gtst box would be good aswell

Gearbox wise it depends what you're planning on doing to the car, I know first-hand RowdyR32 had a 220+RWKW RB26 in front of a stock RB20DET g/b, he wasn't habitually doing hard/drag style launches in it, but did do several track days, and it held up fine.

I would definately get a heavier clutch though, doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a heavy-duty organic. i.e. Daikin.
