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.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
