i doubt i can do it myself so...how much do you guys think an auto to manual swap would cost (with labor costs)? I tried searching but only found how to's and what parts are needed to do it by yourself. There is a nice 240 available near where i live but it is automatic and 240s are so rare in the bay area, i must seize the moment!

thanks, any help at all is appreciated.

well if you wanna do a SR swap...juss buy a 180sx or s13 front clip..cuz the tranny is still bolted on...if your gonna conver auto to 5 spd..there are soo many different screws you need to bolt that sucker on..and there are a lot of parts to look for..to convert it.

not true, and I can get or have most of the parts he needs. Also if he is in socal I can get him hooked up on the install itself for $350-400 and parts for around $500 with a trans for s13 its more for s14. My faq in the faq section should have price estimates in it as well.

smog laws in california are very strict. An SR would never pass, unless i do it illegaly which is risky and expensive. anyway, 500 dollars?! wow thats A LOT cheaper than i expected. I thought it would cost around 1k - 2k...thanks
