your kidding, whats the point of doing it for the p's then??
whats to stop an l plater rocking up at the lights in say an ss or fpv (parents car) and accepting a drag race when the guy next to him starts revving the engine??
kinda stupid as far as i can see

Because you have your parents/full licence driver with you and in most cases they aint retards to let you drive like an idiot

iv ask about this for my vt but it a 6 and it can be done cost alot but alot fo work to do, alot harder if you dyi far as i know main part was the pedal box that was a pain to get in and getting all that done. be worth just buying a manule car realy unless there was a wreaked one and you can take all the parts off that

i did it in my vx v6, i payed $2500 for conversion kit (it was out of a vy with 20K on the box) and $300 to put it in. IMO its worth it if your car has sentimental value or youve already sepant alot of money on it, otherwise its probably cheaper to buy a new car.

VZ Maloo. 6 Speed. OTR. Tune. Some other bitz
when we did the conversion on my mates vt v6 auto to v8 manual i was amazed to find that all the holes are there and theres even a stamp behind the gear box that had a bit of info for the manual mount. so its not that hard the pedal was easy fit too. but to be honest its only roughly a 10kw gain. thought about shift kit stage 3?

Manual Gen3 VT SS + V6 VT manual turbo
Isn't starter motor the same manual or auto?? I hear the difference might be a 'nose' over the gear, couldn't u just hacksaw the 'nose' off??
