For $1000 dollars I'll do it here at home, yes I am qualified. :thumbsup: Seriously to remove a auto and fit a manual is not going to cost a grand. Its an afternoons work at best. These performance shops make me mad, they'll build you a motor super cheap, but any job that should be easy, whaamo, big bucks, I cant work them out. I used to work at a Importer in Adelaide and we were charging $1500 fitted inc parts. (obviously not rb25 box, but other vehicles)

sorry but i think i would rather tilbrooks do it and at a work shop for that matter other than someone claming to be qualified and do it from a back yard! $1500 wow why even write that because we are talking about RB25 gear boxs not other cars so your quote doesnt even make sence and to remove an auto and fit a manual in a RB25 isnt an afternoon job!! oh but you know more tho

I am with kelly on this one....if i was getting a big job like this done then i would be making sure that a reputable workshop does the job instead of a backyard job......even though you prob are qualified and experienced MYRB30 but i still would take it to a workshop.....

I recommend Tilbrook auto and dyno, Nissan specialists, and you get what you pay for, just remember who built and who is the crew chief of the leading Drift Australia car at the moment, mark tilbrook. it just shows their quality of work. :D

:teehee: you are a very blunt tool in the shed my friend and go back to the place you crawled out of idiot thats why tilbrook has a bigger business than you cause you do this shit all the time :banana:

i agree with getting a bigger workshop to do it out of peace of mind sort of thing, however, you dont need to have a large business to know what you are doing. I know of a few people that aren't in the trade but know endless amounts about cars etc. Sometimes having a big business doesn't necessarily mean your better but i agree, its best to get a workshop to do it if you dont know anyone in the know.

ive done a few manual conversions and i would imagine its as simple as, spigot bush, slave/master, clutch, flywheel, gearbox, corssmember, tailshaft, interior parts etc...nothing too strenuous.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
