PLAN CHANGING

I’M PUTTING MANUAL GEARBOX in next few weeks due to getting my license on 27th of October therefore I want to get my car ready for my test. Today I have been around the Moss ST. in springwood, all south east Queenslanders know where it is, always I been to couple of shops around to get prices for my manual conversion and this is what I got so far;

Flywheel + clutch+ pressure plate= 150 from all japs, or 200 of my mate with very good clutch condition.
Manual gearbox = “300” of a mate, .350 -450 and all places around is 650 bucks.
Tail shaft = 250 from panel house
Sr20 belt housing = 100 $ from Predators
Clutch master +slave = 100
Pedals = 300 from PSI

All up = $ 1250

Brought a SR20 S13 Nissan Silvia

I have purchased Nissan Silvia SR20de from http://www.boostcruising.com/ from a guy that lives at Wynnum, Cleveland like 40 km away from me, anyways I went to pick it up and it and drove it to a performance shop where I was going to do an oil chance and etc. but I was racing the car all day up the road in 60 km zone I was going 180 km/h to “test” the car, and it was so economical that it only used 10L of petrol in like 5 day of having the accelerator all the way to the bottom.

Picture of the car before pick up.











"Little accident":





I will do up the body first. I have juts purchased the body kit from a bloke of eBay for 210 $ delivered to my door, it is second hand from Japan, Japanese made body kit with few cracks ,and it is one of those body kits that are just bolt on body kit so it should be easy to fit it when I get it. I will have to repair the body kit with hardener and putty that I got at home, and sand it back. Once I do that I will pit it and try to hide the screws that I will use to bolt the body kit on. Now this is the body kit I have purchased for a bloke called Rob.



Body Kit on:



Gave up on rear wide fenders!
