yes yes yes, i am going to convert the old slush 240 to a 5spd and i can't wait. i'm getting everything except the driveshaft, engine backing plate, and hydro lines for $350 shipped. he said he thought he had the slave cylinder, looked for it, couldn't find it, determined it lost, and graciously went out and bought me a BRAND NEW one at NO EXTRA COST. that was so awesome!! i have everything else i needed sourced, just have to rebuild my monitary funds. i owed my parents some money unfortunately, otherwise the other parts would also be on their way. i plan on selling the clutch that comes w/ the conversion. its an OEM with about 1000 miles on it. so i will sell that and whatever else, and i am going to buy an ACT Street or 6puck. i'm still trying to find a 300zx shift knob for cheap, but am not having luck. i'll get a new one probably. my b-day is in a few days, so i'll be gettin money :) well, i'm very excited so i thought i would share :D

P.S. me, cnichols, redrocket and former_240_s14 are all most likely going to be doing the install ourselves. wish us luck.

P.P.S. any recomendations on transmission fluid? Redline?

LMAO I think my 240 is just pissed off now cuz I wrecked her so shes taking her vengence out on all other 240's.

I ran at a track while we were in Florida a couple weeks ago. My girl and her mom were busy at the pool and I'm not much of a water dog so I made a run to the track :D
