1UZ soarer conversion

Hi guys,
How much would it cost to convert a 1uz auto to a manual in a soarer? I am guessing the supra gear box will fit on?

If we are talking UZZ30 soarer, don't use the W58 box.
Get an R154 from a JZZ30 Soarer as it has the right shifter position.
Get a custom flywheel, clutch and bellhousing from either CastlemaineRodShop or Dellow Automotive.
Pedals from an JZZ30 soarer.
Budget 3 grand.

Is that DIY? What is the availability of these parts?

i woul dmaybe add 400 to that for a decent clutch
i know some of the dellows clutches i would not even fit behind a 4ag
so double check what sort of clutch u get might be worth paying bit more for something u wont need to change in 2 months

Totally agree. I was just doing the sums for the incredulous one to show him how easy it was to get to 3K.

GT's prices are pretty right.
Add another 500-1k for a drive in, drive out conversion.
Merudo, GZ20 conversion is much much cheaper, and everything can be had cheap.
Bellhousing- $50
Gearbox - $250-$500
Clutch - $400
Flywheel - $100
Pedals/Tailshaft/Lines- few hundred from a Supra or Soarer (NOT 7GMTE equiped)
So budget $1200-$1500 (GZ20)

3000 - 4000 would suffice for a drive in drive out?

Depends how much they want to charge for an R154.

And I am guessing that they would charge premium for it. I have heard that R154 Manual box can be sourced from about $1-1.5k from most Jap Importers.
I know how to work on 'older cars' and have an uncle who can work on 80's corolla's, camry's etc. But I think that we may struggle to DIY with such an advanced car.

JZZ30 R154's typically fetch more $$ than JZA70/MZ70 R154's, because they are rarer.
But you will need the shifter that comes with a JZZ30 R154.
