Do you talk that way as well?


This is even a current topic elsewhere on the site, let alone one where prior material is available, so use Search.

Its a big job, no doubt. You can use a few different gearboxes, The W58, R154 or 6 Speed Getrag ($$$)

Neil at rush imports (site sponsor/trader) is probably the most experienced at doing this, and can source all the parts you need, basically drive in/drive out turn key. Budget around 5.5k if you want to do it that way.

In terms of D.I.Y., I have no idea.

You will also get a lot of people advising you to start with a Manual soarer, rare as they are (soemthing like 5-10% of factory JZZ30's are manual, not 100% sure on that.)

Toyota Australia seem to deny existence of any imported models.

Why Hollinger Neil? R154 has been holding 380kW+ for nearly 2 years now without any issues.

If there are no factory manual cars, then that must mean, mine is a prototype or maybe a special drift spec. They might have accidently put three pedals in on the production line.

Philip, maybe you should spend some time looking around the site before you make claims about what specifications Soarers came out with. There is a wealth of information here and it's all free. I'm sure it would be in your interest to have a good read before telling us what your mate says.

Thats right. And even accidentally put threaded bolt holes in the floor of automatic cars in JUST the right configuration for a clutch pedal bracket...

The moral of the story is.....well my friend is an idiot

Around the 270 mark, I think. In a package that weighs about 1200kg or a little less.

Lol, a GT3 runs like 11.8 for the 1/4 mile stock. and costs over $250k. Not much of a comparison fairly Simon,hehe.

Simon has nearly 400 RWKW, so it probably is a fair comparison for him.

Yeah "Technically" Simons car does the 1/4mile in 10 Seconds something going on his MPH from Memory. So the GT3 is a easy beat for him lol ;)

Yeah, In hindsight it probably isn't a fair comparison. (for the GT3)

Shaun, with a big mouth like that, you should go to P.I. and have a run against Neil, Damien and Susie 17-18/2, after that (if you can bit them) you can start talk.
