I have a KS Verada and just purchased a TS V6 Magna which is manual in good condition with a lot of extras.

My question is how hard will it to be to convert the Verada to manual given i have a complete manual car to take the parts from ?

What parts would i need to take from the TS in order to complete the conversion and is there anyone in Sydney that can help or recommend a wrokshop to have the conversion done at ?

Speak to fat35l from up the coast. He converted my old KS to manual after I sold it to him

deanimus now has a manual rada

Main thing you'll need is the V6 manual water pipe. Automatic one is alot different.

Well there is a lot of differences but yeh there is a guide in my signiture.. Have fun its definalty worth it!!!

Thanks for the help.

Looking forward to it as the donor car also has aftermarket suspension, exhaust and other goodies.

Having done the conversion the other way by taking all the Verada parts and transplanting them into a TS V6 manual I would definately never do it that way again. From what I have read here and seen for myself apart from the changeover of the motor, gearbox and driveshafts the most fiddly and time consuming job would be fitting the manual pedals and clutch master cylinder. After that its a matter of just swapping over the suspension and exhaust. You just need to decide which motor is in better condition. Best of luck the end result is worth it. Mine may not be a true Verada but apart from those on this forum who remember when I converted the TS no one would ever know.

I have done a conversion on a TS V6 SE. I have also been able to get the cruise to work aftare the conversion. I believe and correct me if I am wrong... That I am the first 2nd Gen manual with cruise in Australia!!!

Here is a link my Thread. For the Cruise activation after conversion to manual.

Good luck.

I think you are wrong (unfort) as I picked a loom out of a V6 manual with cruise at pick a part to use in my own car
Also, KS verada touring wagons were manual + cruise control aswell :P

Hey if theres anyone on or around the gold coast willing to help me finally sort mine out thats be great. Will reward with something like a bottle of grog..
