hey hey! just got my 5 speed convesion done! the process took about 4 days, because few parts are broken, and couldn't get it in the same day. just wanted to say thanks to sx7r, and also broken motor for helping me out on this. without them, i really couldn't have done this! but in conclusion... i love my car even more now haha.... it's a lot faster, and fun to drive ^_^

 

How much did the whole project cost?

Miguel

 

Congrats, dude....I wouldn't have the huevos to try it luckily mine came that way!

IndyMax77

 

i spend about hmm.... 1000 on everything for the tranmission parts hehe... but it's definitely worth it!!!

 

aren't they all the same???

 

...obviously the 5spd ,consoul shifter **** , but what else will i hafta to rip out of the donor car- my autotranny is about beat to ****, vb upgrade 400-600bux doesnt really seem worth it if a swap is a few hundred more

 

HAHA, you said huevos

Anyway how many people have successfully done this conversion so far, as of now I can think of 2.

 

Three.

 

 

5

 

 

soon to be 6

 

Did you have to pay them ?

 

Where did you get everything for $1000.00? I was quoted over 2k for all the parts.

 

Sprint used to drive an automagic


Did you guys use the directions provided by that guy who did them previously? I forgot his name... Were they of any help?

 

well....people, time, and money haha... it's really not hard, but it's just the hassle off taking everything off, and putting everything on...changing the axle, and alot of times..different tools are needed! i spend approx about 1000 but now i thought about it 1200..but if you love stick, and the way it feels..it's definitly the best mod u'll ever make..at least for me that is ^_^

 

4th gen FAQs has the directions.

 

check ur local salvage yards!!! and tell them u are doing a conversion....if you are lucky..u'll get everything as a package for cheap.

 

Are you running on your auto ECU ? Harold is and says it feels more responsive than a manual ECU, but it may just be mental. ?

 

yes i am still running on the stock ecu.... sx7r drove my car, and said that it's not as responsive as his 5 speed .... so i don't know... but rumors are saying that with auto ecu..it should be more though... hehe..

 

Congrats on the conversion. So you have been the reason why i havent talked to Thomas in liek a week. I hope you enjoy it!

BTW-Dont take the comment of your 5psd not feelin as responsive as his. We all know Thomas has like a super car. Only he goes out Supra hunting.

 

If I could find someone to do me conversion for $1,000, or even $2,000 with labor and parts. I would do it in a heart beat. Hope it runs well for you!!

 

Who did the conversion for you, I really want to get it done on my car and i dont know were to go. Would nissan do it or do you no who would.
Thanks cliff

 

i also would like to know who did this, i want to get mine done eventually

 

Sure, for $4,000.

 

who does it? friends that'll take their time patiently and do it with ya! i am luck to have sx7r and brokenmotor as a friend ^_^ last thing i heard is that.... nissan charge 4000 to do it? haha... that's if they are willing to do it =P it's alot of work man

 

is your check engine light on?

i have a guy here who can do mine for about 1200-1400 but i dont have a guarranteed buyer for the auto parts, so i cant afford all 1400.. plus harold had his done here and his CEL(Check Engine Light) is on.. i dont want that..

thanks

 

it is! only bad thing about it going to try to find out how i can make that light go away! the auto parts...well...i doubt anyone would buy it?

 

i know for a fact then that it is the AUTO ECU. because of that i wont do it.. if something else goes wrong with my car and i couldnt tell for awhile, but the CEL was on.. that would suck and with my luck it could happen.

 

you can swap out a manual engine harness and use a manual trans ECU. Thats what we did in my conversion.

 

LoL

 

so after you got the manual harness...did the check engine light went away???? thanks!

 

sx7r, you interested in doing a conversion on my 99? i am researching the conversiond aily looking at parts, labor etc...now all i need is someone willing to do it

 

u r not in tx r u???

 

when you do the conversions
do you do it yourself or mechenic?

 

the big sadler, what kind of wheels are those? arent buy an ychance getting rid of them are you?

 

i don't think sx7r wants to do the conversion again haha...too tiring!! we did it ourselve. put it this way...the whole process is not hard at all!! it's just tiring!! there is one bolt ish under the tranny, and nothing fits in that thing for me to tighten it up or loosen it... haha... all of us were under the car trying to get that bolt off haha... it took me like 40 minutes to take one bolt off =P oh yeah...did i say this is a pretty dirty process too?

i think those are the replica of racing hart m5s?

 

Real Racing Hart 18" M5 1-Piece.. i got a really good deal on them with lots of talking.. 1830.00 with Toyo Proxies..

I attached a somewhat close up of the rim, i will take pics of the racing hart signature inside the wheel later..

selling.. sorry man, just got em and i love em.

 

money speaks

 

yeah i just noticed your sig in the past week or so and the rims really caught my eye. i like them a lot.
