Hey all, virgin poster but long time perve I bought a VL with a r33 5 speed and a exedy twin plate clutch as a donor car, and put all the gear into my VH SLE for something different. The car is still incomplete, and untuned. I am thinking of getting rid of the 5 speed and going to an auto/stall. Question is, how much are these things worth? I looked on eBay and they are all from jap importers and mainly buy it now. Also I am guessing, if I am patient enough, I would be better off getting the car tuned with the manual, then selling it hey? Harder to tune with auto... Be able to sell 5 speed easier with a test drive too. Any help appreciated. Cheers. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think they are a 2.5k conversion kit? but thats tailshaft, interior pieces to suit, pedal box etc etc etc. test drives are good especially as you are a new member. if you were old news and everyone knew you thered be a much bigger trust element / people would have been able to vouch for the car running. welcome btw. I always say advertised prices aren't worth jack. you never know what people actually sell for. best thing to do is to trawl through old f.s. threads here and see what they are being advertised at then choose a reserve and ebay it.

i wouldnt think it would be easier to have the manual in for tuning .i know you make more power with a manual then auto

i sold my 33 box for $800

I may be after just the box in the future, no conversion. Can never have too many R33 boxes for spares!

Full conversion from $1500 - $3000 depending on how good it all is. Price will really depend on how long you want to hold onto it. If you want a quick sale, price accordingly. Take lots of photos and put some effort into your add.

Thanks all. What about the dyno side of things? I got a fairly healty setup and would probably need a 4k convertor. I know I could ask my tuner but I dont have one yet! I would prefer to spanner it as much as I can and then get it tuned. I think I know the answer (keep the manual) but I just want to get rid of it and go the auto Has anyone actually tuned the same setup manual / auto and found it to be benificial? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

well tuning is all about the engine. the transmission is still pretty much mechanuical and seperate. it's like asking about tuning a car and then changing doff gears... just get a manualised auto and slap it in. choose a converter. 4k is huge. if its a pure race car ok but if you want an all rounder its stupid. just get a line locker so you can build up boost and a smaller stall.

Yeh this is purely my Sunday car. Big turbo, 1147c etc. So should be fun. Last built motor I had was a 355 with a 5k stall so 4k will be ok for the once a month it gets used. Thanks for the advice thoug. May as well sell it and do it how I want now. Cheers.
