R33 Gts-t Manual To Auto Convert

[storm9090]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to posting here however I read the fourms all the time for great advice.

I know your all wondering WTF is he crazy converting from manual to auto but it's a possition i'm forced into. I really don't want to but it's only planned to be temperary IE 2-3 years) but it has to happen or I loose the car!!!! and that's MUCH worse.

I've read the post on the auto to manual converts and i will assume from that posting i will need to change:

Drive Shaft

ECU

Diff

Dash

Does anyone have advice, and know any places around sydney that could perform this convert for me, I live around liverpool (Out West).

Also where i could get the parts i need if i have to purchase them before the convert is to happen.

EDIT: LOL sorry forgot to add my car is a Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T, Boost has been uppped to 12pounds and I have an BOV if that changes anything

Thanks,

Steve.

May I ask why? I know you said you have to... but why

[storm9090]

Well long story short, my mum and I have to swap cars, i need her car for my new job until things get back to normal and her manual driving is.... well you can guess, so it's AUTO or SALE....

Sell the manual and buy an auto.

Auto Skylines are generally cheaper than Manual Skylines, so I'd advise against spending money on doing the conversion as you're really spending money to make your car less valuable (if that makes sense).

If you sold your Manual and bought an Auto, you'd probably have some cash left in your pocket for a few new mods

Find another r33 gtst auto owner that want a manual skyline and just swap the parts over

BTW, if you actually do go ahead with the conversion, then PM me as I would have a buyer for your manual gearbox (provided it was in good nick).

ECR033, the reason i prefer to mod it is because I know the history of my current car, with the exception of the syncros in 2nd gear being a little weird there has never been a fault with my car for the past 2 years.

I was planning on keeping this car till it fell apart, however it looks like i might have to sell it .

LBFALCON, That would be great , however finding somone who wants to convert their car and finding a shop that could convert both cars at the same time would be a problem due to the fact that both cars would be out of action during the parts exchange.

But I will still need info on who could do the conversion even if i can get the parts because I doubt I could do it by myself.
