Swampy442 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Driftworks is the place, theres a couple on there at the mo. Not full conversions just the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I've actually looked on driftworks, though all I found were mk3 supra boxes. Have you seen any soarer boxes or an mk3 box with the correct bellhousing? If so can you pm or post the link.

Swampy442 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 And therein lies the problem dude, I managed to find a Chaser box, has the same remote shifter as the Soarer box but had to get my own bell housing. You can go to Toyota (about 400 quid) or look on eBay and get a Malaysian copy for about 200 plus post. Or go to DriftMotion in the States. TZJ engineering will import you one but youre looking at over a grand. Then you need clutch, fork, master and slave cylinders, pedal etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also never replied to my last email. How hard the labour involved in changing a w58 to a r154? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I havent used them personally, not sure on the labour, changing the clutch, slave cylinder and box should be pretty straight forward, again not sure on the pro shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 If using the mk3 you will need a shifter extension (120), bellhousing (200 ebay), front part of the mk3 prop, w58 gearbox mount, speedo converter (cable > elec £80). Doing the swap isnt that hard really, if you've got ramps and a workshop that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard is it to make the prop and do you use any of the w58 prop? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ugp Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 speedo converter search marlin crawler. shifter extension, theres a thread on here about it somewhere, do a search for r154 shifter extension, guys name is steve. bellhousing, driftmotion, or search on ebay front part of prop are like hens teeth, make sure you get a box with one. gearbox mount, on here Thanks for the reply sorry to be annoying but do you have links to all the parts you mentioned other than the box itself.

dr_jekyll Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 will they not fit the w58 prop? and also will the w58 bell housing fit the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 w58 box has a different bolt pattern. also the w58 prop is too short. i'm not even sure about using the rear end of the manual prop, my conversion was done with na auto rear, mk3 front. hope this helps, sorry for the lack of capitals, the shift button on my phones phecked. ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 i think the rear of the prop will be the same . the centre baring of each bolts to the car in the same place so if i buy a colplete mk3 turbo the only aditionial parts i will need are shfter extension and jz bell housing?
