its not so much about it being a HARD conversion, just that the money you will have to throw at it to get the job done is going to be a decent smack. it may be cheaper to trade in the car for a manual or 6spd auto version and u save all the head f***s that come ith a conversion

Your change over price one changing it to another VE that is manual or has one of the other autos will be a lot cheaper.

The 4 auto is only on the Omega and Berlina in the VE line up so assuming you have one of those, the change over price to SV6 or SS of similar age with similar K's SHOULD only be a few thousand to a decent dealer. They only have to make about 2k on each sale.

why mate is it that hard ?:cry:

the ve's wiring is like a phone exchange lol, but it the little things, getting the interior parts changed to suit, the input shafts of the different transmissions could be different, there is 20 something control modules, theres going to be complications,

but really the main problem would be the lack of exploration into the subject being a new model,

As for the hand work it's nothing to worry about ....

will it be harder than a (RB26DETT) to an 86 Nissan Laurel ?
I live in TUNING ZONE BABY :thumbsup:

and somone told me that you can do the Interior done in the holden dealer.

the reason I don't want to change my car with another is that
people in KSA (including me :whistling) don't give a F*** about
the speed limit (if you pass a cop car going 160 KM it's cool:yeah:)

SO I won't find a car worth buying , and the money ... I waill just have to work my A** off and never eat outside the house and maybe god will have pitty on me :bow: and the government will give us a raise (yeah right)

thanx bros.

do as you like but i wouldnt recommend it, being in saudi it would be even harder to get parts wouldnt it, not to mention the extra in price
