yo, if i have an automatic 240sx and i swap in an sr motor and manual trans what would be the potential problems that i would run into... i mean, if i get a front clip could i just transfer the hydro clutch assy and associated hardware or would i have to find a usdm 240 to to pull the needed parts from. any help would be appreciated. :cyberguy:

There shouldn't be much of a problem at all, as long as you get the pedal assy, slave cylinder, all the little things. The center console is different, mine was an auto and I had to cut around the auto shifter trim to make room for the side to side motion of the shifter. And my "OD" light blinks. And my Reverse lights don't work. BUt these are all minor problems to be able to be able to grab 2nd gear and get squirrely.

hardware:

you can't use a RHD pedal nor lines, on my last auto to manual job i made a custom, braded stainless steel, line directly from CMC to CSC works without problems.

you need to get ether s13 or s14 clutch pedal (they are identical) and/or s13 brake pedal (u can cut your auto pedal), you can't use s14 brake pedal cause they are different shape (stearing colomn wise)

wiring:

you have to bypass the clutch kill line, and connect 2 wires for the reverse light through auto harness.

P.S. without clutch kill line your car won't start
