Hey,

This is message to all those out there looking for a manual conversion. I used a guy called Peter King who previously operated under the name defiant motorsport he does lots of 2jz conversions into things like s13's and hiluxes he also does manual conversions. The conversion took about 1.5 days as he picked it up off me sunday late Sunday afternoon and had it ready about 12 Tuesday morning.

About 8:30 i got a call saying that he thought one on my coolant bungs was leaking at the back of the block so at no cost me to he pulled the gearbox and tailshaft back out only to realise its not leaking and then had it ready and dropped it off to me at about 12 on Tuesday. It cost $500 + parts which is good value considering that GTAuto wanted $5k to do the conversion.

He really is a great guy to deal with and always willing to go the extra mile to make the customer happy.

If anyone wants his details let me know and i can pass them on

Hey LB, I am needing some fmic pipe mods. This guy is in my neck of the woods. Give us the details and i will look him up. cheers.

Same here Waz.

As much as I wish mine was manual I just can't justify spending the money on it... at the moment anyway.

Have seen a bit of Peters work and have been surprised on all occasions. Especially what used to be NIS25 (RB25 powered AE86).

i'm just sitting here imagining what 3K put into an auto box would be like...

or even 2K into an auto and an extra 1K for power mods...

considering how shit autos are, im not

Did u need to swap to manual ECU?

Na didnt need to change the ECU at all

Lee's gone manual...

WOOT WOOT...

YEHAR...

Congrats dude... Its like getting a new car...

It sure is like getting a new car plus all the extra torque is always welcome but the clutch is going to take a bit of time to get use to as my left leg is a bit weak from all those years of driving a auto

considering how shit autos are, im not

I wouldnt say they are shit just not as fun to drive

considering how shit autos are, im not

you better hide when the new GTR comes then...

seriously every second person mouths off about auto's but how many of them actually driven an auto skyline? given the hostility in the tone of your response, i would say you don't. not the same as jumping into an auto falcadore

having personal experience with owning an auto skyline with 2800rpm high-stall and shift kit, i can say that the gearbox is amazing, and the shifts are incredible. well worth it for 1K including parts and labour.

    • Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....
    • Those are some very cutesy barriers! Is that common?
    • Saw this abandoned Honda Fit in a carpark that was getting repaved... they just 'cut around it' and continued with the job! There's a number of reasons why the car could have been abandoned, but as for the construction company, legally they don't have permission to move the car from the owner (who has moved on and can't be contacted) so all they can do it just leave it there with enough space around it so it won't get damaged. 
    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
