Use Skyline bits, manual coversion kits cost around $1100 if doing yourself. Check out the forums on www.skylinesdownunder.com for where to get them.

pedal box and handbrake are the biggest cunts seemingly.


i know of a guy who got a factory manual as a near new import years ago, he paid abou $17k for it, seemingly still in near new condition. i must talk him into selling it one day.

Oh dear god... I have heard the worst stories of all about Midas but every branch will be different Smile the guys at Midas around here (East Aucks) (used to might be all good now) had a nasty habit for taking customers cars for 'test drives' and thrashing the absolute fuck outta them...

Every branch will be different Smile if they are endorsed by SDU I'd trust them completely, SDU members are very, very picky bastards (I'm Blade25-t on the forums Very Happy)

Best thing you can do is go have a chat, smile nicely, say your from SDU (maybe find out the best contact off the site to go and see) and hope they suss you a mean deal, always get a written quote first and take the car so they can have a squiz b4 any work gets done and you'll be sweet as Smile
