Hello all this is my first proper post here (so take it easy) :)

right i i have been doing so much research on converting my soarer to a manual, and there are so many options out there that it quite confusing and hard to set my self to one definate gearbox and going for it. I know everyone basically says you have the
w58 and the 350z box. The bmw box ect

so now for my actual question, what is going to be the easiest type to find all the parts for? It's not a problem with a bit of fabrication and abit of custom work. But just all in all I'm basically looking for the easiest and cheapest conversion for everything.

Im not going to be running monster numbers as I've got my Scoobie for that. I have no set budget, and am open to any ideas.

i know that if you go onto google there are hundreds of manual conversions already been done for the 1uz but most of them seem to be in other country's, and beleive me I've scoured Google for answers and it just hasn't got what I need to know. If someone would be kind enough to write a list of what I'm going to need that would be awesome please! And you never know it may help a few other people that are looking.

thanks in advanced and remember no grilling! ;)
 
There's a chap selling a 1UZ bolted to a W58 on here at the moment. Probably worth giving him a shout about it. Might even sell it to you.
 
The conversion kits are all roughly about the same price once you factor in clutch and flywheel (depending on single/twin/triple clutch obviously).

It's the gearbox price that varies so much. BMW is by far the cheapest and easiest to source, plus spares are cheap.

I paid £110 for my 328 zf box, it needed a slave cylinder, release bearing and spigot which were/are all less than £100 total. Adapter kit was £350 from Zurawski and uses standard bmw clutches (not sure he is doing any more tho). I got a single mass flywheel and sachs clutch for £110 so the whole thing has so far cost me about £600. And when I turbo it, Tilton do a flywheel/twin plate clutch for about a grand. TTV Racing can do a twin plate and flywheel for about £1250 - they also make the kit Nev sells.

ABC clutches do a very good complete kit, but it's £2k with a twin plate clutch (£2200 with a triple).
Nev's kits are about £1250 plus clutch (single/twin/triple work out between £1800-2600 when I talked to him)
