Hi Everyone, I've decided to take the plunge and convert to manual.
I just have some questions.

I've been quoted $1100 for a conversion kit out of a car with 117000 on the clock which includes

BOX / FLYWHEEL / CLUTCH /SHIFTER /SHIFTER CABLE / CV SHAFTS / N-S CROSS MEMBER / MANUAL CONSOLE / SHIFTER BOOT IS THEIR BUT IS STARTING TO DISCOLOUR /PEDALS /MASTER CYLINDER / SLAVE CYLINDER AND LINE /GBOX MOUNT AND NUTS & BOLTS

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think I need the cross member or the manual console?
Looking at the manual the auto and manual appear to use the exact same cross member?
Are to console actually different from manual to auto?
Is this all I need for the conversion? will the only drilling and cutting I need to do be for the clutch pedal/master cylinder? plus the extra hole I need to make to get the LPG wiring out of the clutch/master cylinder hole...

On the forum I've found info on wiring up the inhibitor so the car will start.
I think I have got my head around getting cruise to work with the clutch.
From what've I've gathered I need to obtain the clutch switch and run a wire to one of the pins on the cruise ECU?

Thanks guys!

Bro. Refer to here for details.. I Believe that this also works for the 3rd gen... Not sure what you are running.

Thanks dude, kind of helps, only problem is there's six pins on the connector plug so no middle plug as such haha..
What a pain in the butt lol..

??

Is this how I should be wiring up the relay?

Second or Third Gen mate

If third gen, you are crazy if you dont just to out and get a Manual ECU and loom, this how I prefer to do them

in short, you need to tell the Cruse Controller that the car is in gear and no pedals are depressed, this can be done easily with a relay or by replicating the manual wiring straight out of the wiring diagram that can be found in the mauals downloadable on this site

d Gen, TF... I have the manuals, I have the diagrams, can't figure it out, will take it to an auto elec once box is in.

let me know how the auto elec went. I also lost cruise when i converted.

Hi,

The wiring for the clutch pedal should already be there tucked away under the dash somewhere, if it is then wire it driectly to the clutch switch, but failing that what you need to do is as follows:
(you will need to do this anyway to tell the ecu that it is in "D" which will in turn tell the cruise that it is in "D").

Grab a multimeter and go to the inhibitor socket on the auto trans and with the trans phisically in the "D" position find out which 2 pins make a circuit.

Bridge these two pins (you will know that you have got it right if the "D" light comes on on the dash).

The need to install a relay or switch for the neutral circuit is generally not required, you should be able to just leave this permanently bridged.

Good luck and happy cruising.
