its a thought that keeps poping into my head, amougst the things i want to get done is an manual conversion. I think it will really give the car a funner edge and better driving experince. Im aware that zed world offer it as a service for a cost and taht is possibly an option, but whats the price difference doing it yourself? Ive done plently of clutch replacements so im not to bothered about the nuts and bolts of it. just the electrical side of it.

im assuming i would need:

manual gearbox

manual gear selector

flywheel

uprated clutch(standard is crap?)

clutch and brake pedal

manual master cyldner?

 

what else would i need and how much would should i expect to pay in parts? how much of a arsehole job is it? just getting my head round it to work out weather its a viable propostion and to then budjet for it.

BTW my auto seems to be in pretty darn good health, hold and power buttons work etc its just i think havinga maual would stick me in my seat better and make it faster to 70

This should help dude.

I did it to my 200sx in a day. Would do it to the zed if it was an auto!

The conversion sell for around £6/700 from what ive seen. Then you might want a better clutch - £300ish.

Your looking around a grand, but i'd do it!

Ive built up the parts i need for my conversion over the last year, so have kept a large initial outlay down apart from £500 for the conversion parts: gearbox, flywheel, starter, brake master cylinder, front prop piece, the gear selector came with it, bellhousing cover plate.

Since then bought a single lightweight prop, new clutch, gearbox mount, bushings for the gearstick and going for a lightweight flywheel next.

Going to do it myself, but if i had the money in one hit, i would take it to zedworld.

hrm im thinking more and more about this beinga good idea, but as youve done groover id like to sorta build up acollection of parts to avoid a mass outlay. how much does the ferry cost to you? if you want an extra pair of hands id be happy to lend em so when i go down this route im familiar with it

Sea Cat day return is about £14 if he can pick you up.

i see the wight isle most days but ive never been there lol. odd seeings i could actually walk there on the lowest of low tides so i hear
