Before you start bashing me, I have looked on the internet and found
a couple of guides to do the conversion, but all i find for is the S14.
I looked here also and no luck.
Any help?
Most say that i don't need a manual computer, others say i do.
Any help would be appreciated.

you don't need a manual ecu. auto will be fine

its an easy job can be done in a day with a friend.

I heard i have to jump something in the fuse box to get it to start?
And that i have to modify the connections to the ECU to get the lights to work when i back up.

i bought a 240 in the summer that these kids switchd from auto to 5speed and droped a ka24de from an altima in it, i didnt make it home tho , blew a heatercore hose and over heated, the seals from the rearmain didnt mach up, had to go custom. anyways i fuked tha car up and sold it for 300 bux to a junk yard. but they did a pretty good job on the 5speed swap, just the speedo wires were diffrent..

It is super straight forward. I just helped my buddy with this. His website has some way cool write ups mestiso.net (http://www.mestiso.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=254) he has donetons of stuff to his car and loves to do write ups.
Like others have said you can keep your stock auto ecu, you have to jump the park lock under the relay box in the engine compartment. You will need more than just the tranny...ie flywheel, clutch, flywheel bolts, belhousing bolts, manusl drive shaft, manual tranny mount, clutch master and slave, clutch lines hard and soft, upper and lower, shift boots, gear oil, a nice level place to do it, and a little patience.
While doing it it is a great time to replace your rear main seal. Buy a new clutch, soft line, master, and slave cylinder. It is a great time to replace your steering box bushings since you are right there.
It is not that bad, but a word of advice get all you stuff first before you tear your car apart. You don't want to have it all apart and find out you do not have the right flywheel bolts, or your slave cylinder is on back-order.
Feel free to ask any questions of me or mestiso about the swap.

What in blue fuck has that got to do with anything?

HaHa Blue fuck....

Seriously, to the OP, you will defintiely need the Manual tranny bellhousing to engine bolts, there's 9 total, 4 various sizes, and one needs an opposing nut. Also make sure you get a resurfaced flywheel, you will definitely need the manual tranny backing plate, won't work without it.

You don't need the clutch dampner setup, just bypass it with SS line, and you don't need to get the engine/tranny gussets(support brackets), they're the same for auto/manual.

Oh yeah, and using an auto ECU will cause idle fluctuations, but it's not a big deal unless it bothers you.

Yes, you do have to modify the automatic interior harness to make the car function with the manual transmission.

you did not search Zilvia as there are a couple of conversion FAQ's here as well. I wrote one.

P.S. in response to what the last person above said, no you do not have to modify your interior harness in a S13 . There is one mod you do on the body harness which is in the engine bay on a s13 and in the interior on the S14.
