Manual Conversion In Brisbane

[stenve]

All you people who have had r33's converted from auto to manual where did you take it to get it done? how much did it cost etc?

i just contacted a workshop near me and i got quoted what i thought was a ridiculous price

anyone here that would like to do it for me?

failing that does anyone have a r33 auto box lying around they would like to sell me? my auto is shiftkitted and i dont mind it to much and would rather fix it cheaply than pay $3000000 for a manual conversion

Thanks alot

wow yeah that is expensive!

I'll do it for only $300000

hmm a 35 gtr box dont even cost 3mil

For $300000 you could jack up the windscreen wiper and replace the car...

[stenve]

hahah, well obviously it wasnt quite that much

with the quote i had plus buying the parts it would come close to $4000

found a few quotes quite a bit cheaper now, but its still much more expensive then finding a new auto box and swapping over the shift kit

just cant decide what to do

i really do wish i had a spare 3000000 lying around though

farken hell you get the parts i'd do it for a carton.

Parts being:

- r33 gearbox

- tailshaft changed if need be...

- gearbox mount

- clutch flywheel etc.

or try Option1 Garage they did a conversion for me...was really happy.

Find a good manual conversion kit...some mates with a bit of mechanical knowledge and a few cold drinks..should be able to do it for aroung 1K

haha no problem man. Just pick your time as I will be in Mt Isa until Feb-Mar09.

other then that let me know if you want info on what you may need, can probably help you out with a list, as can Zennon.

+1 for wheel ramps...would need the car stands and jacks for the gearbox inserting.

Nope - not me - I just pulled out gearbox - got it rebuilt - chucked in light weight flywheel and new clutch and then chucked box back on

I dont know anything about complicated lists - i didn't do a conversion or anything

[stenve]

thanks alot fellas, wheel ramps didnt even come to mind.

will have to go get me some!
