In my opinion they are great looking cars and I need a car to rival a mates s13 silvia for less than 7 grand.... in manual... hence i was wondering if its difficult convertion and how much it would be.... the model is around 88/89 i dont know what the model name of that year is thanks gavin [Report message to a moderator]

for that much you could build a sweet auto that could have the potential to put a fair bit of power to the groud. i never used to like autos, but driving some cars at work and mates cars, no i dont mind them. (still prefer manual tho) get the trans rebuilt with better and more clutch packs up the line pressure get a convertor with decent stall 2300-3000 rpm oil cooler then see how it goes. i bet you see a vast improvement in take off and speed, would be cheaper than the manual conversion by the sounds too...just my thoughts [Report message to a moderator]
