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.

    • I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.
    • Remember this is the same person who said he’d never own an nc 
    • ouch! how is the car now?I had sold my gtr but have been looking into some on trademe and a 260RS but I wouldnt be keen on any repairs needed on them
    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
