Its not that hard mate. You need a small bodied drill to get into the clutch holes but apart form that, straight forward. Just unclip the auto brake pedal and replace with the manual brake pedal. Do not remove the pedal assembly.
printed out the picture, took it in to my dealer with a copy of the parts diagram provided in the link above...
"oh no, we need your model/chassis number to look it up..." "errmmm...but those codes will just tell you mine's an auto, and i've just explained i've done a manual conversion...surely you can just look up a manual 91 jzz30 tt, and order them using those part numbers? i've got my trim code and everything written here" "nope, the way the parts cd from japan works is that we plug in your vehicle details, and then we look it up specific to your car....you'll need to get the vehicle details of the car the manual box came out of." "ermmm...yes, well thats a 93 supra, so that wont be any help." "sorry mate, we cant help you then"
so.
has anyone got a factory manual 91 tt, in the same colour trim as the one in th epic above? can i get your vehicle chassis details (the two jzz30xxxx number sequences) and i'll just take them into toyota and get him to look up your car?
or, can someone who either has a friendlier toyota dealer/has done a manual conversion and got this from toyota order me one from their toyota dealer, and then ship it across to me? i dont mind paying 20 bucks extra plus the postage and stuff.
or should i just go to an interior trim bloke and get one custom made?
they really arent interested in dealing with imports at my dealer.

as i said - i walked in with a printout of the above pic, and of this one and said i want this bit, and here is the part number on this tech diagram.
and he starts saying to me "well, no, we cant actually use that, we need to have your specific vehicles chassis numbers" etc....was just generally uncooperative and not interested as soon as he found out it was for an import.

well, actually, i DID - till aunty neil came along and now i've cheated....
just bought the genuine brake pedal instead.
we were all ready to be cutting sections off the auto brake pedal and welding them to the supra pedal, or vice versa, or even just cutting the auto brake pedal in half, we were gonna wait til we had the pedals in front of us then decide...doing it this way kinda takes all the fun out of it really.
in fact, bugger it, i think i'll go and do up a custom one, fit that, then take it out and fit the genuine one, just so i can got through a few hours of swearing, back cramps, and singed fingers

Hehehehehe Shane, don't let the rounder guys tell you to take out the driver seat to install the pedals.
Drill the clutch pedal holes from the engine bay, just check there are no wires in the way inside. ( You will loose your cruise control, unless Neil gives away another secret to you) Get on your back and twist. FFS its only 3 nuts and one clip! hehehehehe
