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

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
