Hi guys need some help on some ideas I have r33 skyline gtst it's automatic was thinking of converting too manual cost is high but also was thinking of putting racing BM shifter much cheaper can I get some advice on what you would think would be the best thanks!

Don't bother converting a car from auto that came so abundantly in manual

Unless it's a prime example or you have a huge sentimental attachment to it

Befitting of your username but each to theirs :)

Just be warned the cost is almost always more than buying. Might want to do a 5 stud conversion at the same time?

Head to the Drivetrain and Transmission area of the forum. 

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/146-drivetrain-and-transmission/

There are dozens of threads in there regarding Auto to Manual conversions.

Most of them follow these steps:

  1. Owner of the car decides they want manual
  2. Owners of the car ignoring advice to not do it and to just buy a Manual car instead.
  3. Owner does it anyway, spends thousands
  4. Owner realises everyone else was right
  5. Owner then tries to spread their newly gained wisdom by telling others that it isn't worth doing.

You've moved past Step 1. Currently at Step 2, moving into Step 3.
But no doubt you won't be like everyone else... Step 4 and 5 were unrelated to your specific situation I'm sure.

    • 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.
