Hey guys i have had my stagea for nearly a year now and im well and truely over it being auto, should i just buy a manual one or convert?

I would have to pay someone lobour because i am bad with cars so this would be a big factor but i would have yo sell my car to be able to buy a manual one.

What would be a rough price i would have to pay for parts and labour for the conversion or does anyone wanna swap cars lol.

Budget on 1200-1500 fir parts, gearbox, clutch, flywheel, pedal box, console,etc. Plus 500-1000 to fit it all up

Your car is series 2 so I don't know how the ecu would react??

I'd say a bit more than that for parts, gearbox can be anywhere from $400-$800 depending on if its R32 or R33GTR (assuming you have an awd stagea). A good clutch is going to be at least $500, most likely more. Then you get to your interior parts, factory manual stagea bits are pretty rare and as such as are expensive, it's hard to put a price on it because over the years I have seen manual consoles go for a variety of different prices, but the cheapest I have personally seen for just the manual centre console parts, with no other interior bits, is ~$600. And there are so many little costs that you dont think of initially, things like flywheel bolts, gearbox oil, etc, it all adds up

All in all, I would budget a minimum of $3000 including labour, but would expect it to cost more than that. Thats going off my personal experience, after spending almost a year collecting parts and finally getting the conversion done a few months ago

currently doing an auto to manual conversion on a gts4 for a guy at work

32 gtr gear box 500

gay as extreme clutch 300

flywheel 300

pedals and crap 300

my labour to fit to car 500-1000 depending on time

extras, oil, bolts, clips,etc. 100??

the more you can do yourself, better off in the end

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
