    hi all

    pretty simple, i'm looking for places who 1- specialize in imports & 2- offer a drive in, drive out auto to manual conversion for an N/A z32.



    i've noticed Auto N/A's are significantly cheaper then Manuals and are quite often in far better condition.

    would you say it is worth buying an Auto N/A and converting it to manual or just go and buy a 5SPD zed?


    cheers

    No, it'll cost a couple of grand (like $3k-$4k). Just buy a manual Zed to start with.

    You'll get a decent rebate on the overall costs when you end up selling the Auto Box though.

    i love the car and is a great example of a well kept N/A, but i just dont feel comfortable in a 2+0, to small for me.


    2+2 is where its at!

    fits my 190cm frame just fine :D, fair enough though, personal preference. I would MUCH rather a 2+0, 2+2 has a massive rear overhang in comparison which looks out of proportion IMO :zlove:

    yep, before i bought the silvia i had a look at a couple nice 2+0's and i just didnt feel comfortable in them, i could have lived with it and eventually gotten used to a 2 seater but i prefer the 2+2.


    i'd rather wait and put up with not having a car then spend my money on something i'm not 110% happy with, a 2+0 would make me 95% happy which is close but just not enough for me.
