Hey guys, right now im lookin at buying a R32 gtst (probably a 4 door due to budget restrictions). Now i had a look at a couple from Yahoo Motorsport and i liked them. However, beofre i go bore John V. to hell, i thought i'd ask for some advice:

1. How much is auto to manuel conversion on a r32 gtst 4 door. (average price for everything, to buy the transmision and to pay a mech. to do it)

2. How easily do they get through regency (easier to do b4 mauel conversion?).

3. How much is it to go through regency (approx.) - im hoping it can be done under $1200.

4. Anything else you think is important b4 i make a descision.

Thanks heaps.

wouldnt it be easier to just buy a manual one?

All the manuels are sold on Yahoo Motorsport, and im not a big fan of buying imports b4 i can actually see them and inspect them.

If you PM me some contact details i may be able to put you onto aposible sale of the best 4dr in this state and its already reg here and it's a manual...

Would be nice, but i dont think i can afford that atm. Thanks anyway.

manual conversion in mechanics would cost thousands and not to mention it will definatly cost you 1200 to comply.

just spend that couple of  grand on a better car! :D

True.

Cheers guys.

getting the car ready for regency can be done for $900ish or even less if you do the work your self and just get it signed off. My man conv cost me $1450 including gearbox through FBI buying a auto 32 is the way to go as they are usually (in my case anyway) in better mechanical condition. However make sure you look the car over very well! i.e under the car as well for rust and damage

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
