Re: 5spd conversion questions
dont forget a dremel for the firewall. and if you have cruise control, dont forget to wire that properly. also its alot easier if you trim the brake pedal than replacing it. it can be a royal pita to change out.

Re: 5spd conversion questions
Parts Needed:
5-speed tranny
Driveshaft (the auto driveshaft will not work)
Clutch
Flywheel
Clutch Master Cyl
Clutch Slave Cyl
Steel braided clutch line (recommended)
The swap is rather easy save the part about dropping the tranny since the bolts are a biatch to get to. You also have to cut some holes and bypass the shift lock. You can get a good steel braided clutch line from enjuku for like $50 and it'll bypass the bleeder block. The other parts can be gotten from a junkyard which beats the hell outta paying the online prices. BTW try pick-n-pull its a junkyard up in va beach. I was there last weekend and all they had was a completely stripped auto 240 but they said they'd have some new cars on the lot come this weekend.
By far the best nissan forum on the net: www.nicoclub.com
Zilvia is another good one but you'll get flamed for just about every question you ask and they're only helpful if you already know wtf your doing.

Tranny bolts are a pain in the ass but the universal sockests and extentions with the nifty u joints help tremendously.
