I agree with Coupe-This, its not worth it, probably cheaper to sell your N/A R33 Auto and get an N/A R33 Manual.

Answering your questions, I don't know how much the geraboxes sell for, and if you have to ask if you can put it in yourself, I'm thinking "HELL NO! you cannot."

I can see that you are new to the forums, so I advise you to use the search function, which should be under the skylineSAUstralia banner at the top of your page. It might take a while to get used to, but if you keep asking questions like the ones you have already, you will start to cop alot of flak.

Just try to find out as much by yourself first, its more fun that way anyway.

ya can put it in yaself but it takes a while. i just did a conversion on mi girlfriends VL. that has an RB20DET but i converted it to an auto quickshift from a manual which is harder than changing AUTO TO MANUAL. all the stuff you will need is A MANUAL GEAR BOX, A MANUAL WIRING HARNESS, A MANUAL GEARBOX CROSS MEMBER, A MANUAL COMPUTER, A MANUAL PEDAL BOX, A DIFFERENT TAILSHAFT but that should come with the gearbox, A FLYWHEEL AND A CLUTCH. thats all i can think of off the top of mi head at the the moment. there is a few little other things ya will need. dont put it in ya self if ya not familiar with this sorta stuff. but its not that hard if ya know how to do it

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
