Hi all,

I am looking to purchase an r32 gtst. There seems to be several auto's floating around in great condition, and i'm inclined to believe these have been less thrashed than most of the manuals around. So, I am considering the conversion route. I have found a few threads on DIY guides, but time is at a premium these days, and I don't have enough to to the conversion myself.

Has anyone had a sydney/newcastle shop do a drive in/drive out conversion? I.e. - I don't have to fish around wreckers to buy boxes, tailshafts, pedals, master cyl's etc, they do the whole kit. Sure, I know this will cost alot but then the autos are a few grand cheaper to begin with.

I rang Croydon, they weren't prepared to do it, and couldn't/wouldn't recommend who would do it.

So - who's been down this road before?

As long as you can get an an auto for 3G less you will be infront.

A gearbox, pedal box, and slave cylender + labour will cost you $2500.

all you have to do is find a place that will do the conversion for less than a grand.

Also don't forget the cost of a goot clutch and flywheel...

Go to sss down by WISD they will have a gearbox for about 5-600 a flywheel and clutch for about 300 and the pedals and cylinders etc.

all you will need is the brass bush for the crankshaft (which turns out to be a nissan 2.0 pulsar part)and if you cant get a tailshaft there is a place in newcastle ray gibson engineering who will swap the end from the manual box (which you usually get with the box) for the auto one $140.if you have all the bits its a regular job for any garage did mine on the driveway and thats R33 (heavier box)only hard bit was taking out the steering column and drilling the hole for the master cylinder (but thats marked out on the firewall anyway

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
