auto to manual for 2grand

[bazr33]

hey guys

due to the restrictions in aftermarket ecu options , and wantin to take the Hp to another level, im changin my gearbox to manual

i got a price o 2 grand for the gearbox, tailshaft, and clutch fitted

i thought it wasnt too bad.

gettin it done on the 6th of june, hopefully notcie a bit more power, less restriction and a betta quarter time down the strip,

also being able to control corners and power out of them, knowin what gear im goin around the corner in.

i know 1st and 2nd i can control, which i luv but 3rd to 4th and back i cant and really have to stomp the accel to whack it back,

i do admit the auto is fun to drive and was considerin auto quick shift, but tryin new things, and wantin 250rwkw and up, not wantin to go through piggybacks, or full ecu's knowing the gears are goin to be harsh and f@#k it up.

anyway lettin yas know what im doin, and i'll say i'll let yas know how it goes

but i'll prolly forget too.

So pm if ya want .

with an auto u lose 40% of power than a manual

[bazr33]

well, thats why my car was goin F@#kin slow as down the quarter

gear changes are like 1 sec im loosin

and seeing these ppl doin standard around 13 and stuff

i have FMIC, AVCR on 10psi CES RAcing split dump to cat 3 1/4 exahust

and my best was 15.2, so the 40% power loss sounds about right.

GReat Guns wwoohhooo!!! manual is just around the quarter.

This would be good to show as well of what the power differences are down the quarter.

remember that 15.2 down the quarter in an auto

in a week i'll go down the quarter and i'll see what i do , just to give you guys an idea,

THanks

i made 172rwkw from 10psi, pod and cat back in a 93 r33 auto. The power loss isnt as big as people make out

[Cillham]

i did a manual conversion on my HR31 and every cent of that $2000 spent was more than worth it. its not a sports car unless theres a H pattern to play with

Baz, just for comparison sakes what sort of power did you get with those mods?

Baz, just for comparison sakes when you actually get the conversion, what sort of power did you get with those mods?

[bazr33]

gettin it done through defiant engine conversions

the cost includes

brand new clutch, tailshaft, mod platted and cert, machined flywheel

new oil, drive in drive away

i should get it back tomorow arvo

i dont know the comparison yet, i just went by figures from manual skylines i have seen down the quarter and rwkws to autos with the same mods. approx

i will tell yas when its done , and when i go down the quarter

[pkblade]

I didn't phrase that to well, but what I meant is how many rwkw did you get on your auto with the aforementioned mods?

with an auto u lose 40% of power than a manual

[bazr33]

Is that because they didnt bother?

[Sumo]

owned.

[4door_Sleeper]

Dont worry SLIDE, some minds will never be open to the benifits of an auto. I guess they spent too much time in their 1980s family auto.

I have to agree with you though, the few who try and give me a run all apear in the rear view vission mirror.

[boj01]

For $2000, thats a very very cheap manual conversion. Make sure they don't use a non-turbo RB25 box. A second hand turbo RB25 box is usually worth $1800!

[bazr33]

hey guys the manual gearbox is in ,

i havent strapped it heaps yet, as i have a screw in my tyre , and gettin that fixed up today.

i DO notice that it feels a bit quicker, and feels strong

no whines or anythin in the gearbox, he did remind me that it is a brand new heavy duty clutch, and machined flywheel, 5 speed manual from rb25det.

mod plate gettin done this arvo with manual console .

and gettin the auto gearbox back,

so if anyone wants a autogearbox for cheap, let us know !

it was actually 2500 which is still good, and would still work out to 2000 when i sell teh auto and tailshaft and torqueconverter.

but yeah i reckon its worth it , and power fc is l8er to come.

and also down the quarter times very soon .
