You don't have to cut a hole in the floor as such, just extend the hole that the shifter pokes through to allow for the longer gearbox (if you're using a R30 Skyline dogleg or Stanza SSS dogleg you don't have to cut anything)
If you've got an angle grinder, just cut a bit away at a time until it fits. It's easy :) - Tom james wade wrote: >cheers matt, thats what i thought i'd have to do. im not too confident >with cutting a hole in the floor, where could i get that sort of work >done. > >-james > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Matt Cherry >Sent: Thursday, 18 April 2002 6:52 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: 1600 auto to manual conversion > > >James, >you'll need this list of things .... >Gearbox (of course) >clutch kit >flywheel >master & slave cylinders & pipes for the clutch >you will need to make sure the tailshaft is the same length >the pedal-box >also you may need to cut a hole in the floor. >i have a 180b & have dont that & i think that is all i needed to do it >also i think you may have to short out the wires that stop the car from >being started when in gear (for the auto box).
