tooquicktostop Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Well after buying an Auto single supra because my Skyline's clutch was getting on my nerves in London traffic I have now purchased everything to go 6 speed manual, Turbofit are going to do the work and re map my new AEM (again), decided to make the change when mapping the car last week and while on the dyno the auto box started slipping at 400bhp, Dan left the car at 1.0 bar so as to not damage the auto box, 6 speed should allow me to wind it up to 1.4 now I have the fuel sorted and see a much better figure, will keep you posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'd like to know how much all that will eventually cost cos I am considering the uphill struggle of saving to have this done eventually. I've heard its anything between £2,500 to £3,000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 £4K is a good figure to go by, that would include all the parts needed including an uprated clutch (depending on your power goals) and the labor charges. It could be cheaper, it all depends on what price you get the parts for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 £3000 fitted, with a stock clutch. £2200 for ALL the parts from me, and i believe Turbofit charge £800 for fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to have a word with Turbofit! Excuse my stupidity,.. but is this a Getrag box? AFAIK (which is very little) Getrag is 6 spd and the standard is 5spd. Is that right?

Pabs Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 this i asked a while back, but figures between 2-10k were mentioned. I certainly would consider an auto TT (perhaps aerotop) and then converting - especially as it seems decent auto TT's can be had for anything around 6-7k now And then you'd know you've got a new, and uprated clutch too! (and whatever else you decide to purchase new) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and whatever else you decide to purchase new) And as I have an aerotop TT in immaculate condition, could this potentially add value to my car by doing this? I bought my car back in May last year for around £11k. So £3-4K would be a good figure to look at? I might start saving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
