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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
