I don't want to get flamed lol.

(not Sure if it's in the right place don't really post on here)

I have owned a couple 240's this is one of the first one that I'm going to build. Starting off with a Virgin automatic gonna swap it to Manual.

I know this has been covered a lot of times (I've read them all but still no help) I'm sourcing all the parts. Just want someone to tell me if I have almost everything? I appreciate any input Positive/Negative.

*LIST OF ITEMS*

Isis Auto to manual clutch conversion line

Competition Clutch Kit - Nissan 240SX "White Bunny" 6 Puck

Nissan OEM clutch Pedal

Stock Brake pedal (Gonna cut it up)

Nissan OEM clutch master assembly

Nissan OEM slave cylinder

Nismo Transmission mount

5 Speed DriveShaft non abs

5 Speed crossmember

5 Speed Trans

(gonna run the auto ECU)

Now I recently found someone talking about the Clutch Hardlines and clutch cable? What's the difference? Since I got the isis auto to conversion line do I need them? I was looking at the Chasebays clutch line also

just trying to make sure if I need or do not need something's.

Thank you!

There's something called the search tab... It may sound unreal but it's there's bro..

Alan240sx · 07-21-2014, 05:10 PM

i guess lol.

Silviastunter · 07-21-2014, 05:12 PM

If you have the isis line that will work just fine. Some people just like using hard lines for oem look. Make sure you replace that TOB too

Silviastunter · 07-21-2014, 05:15 PM

Oh and order all the hardware flywheel bolts I would use oem or ARP. Pressure plate bolts ect.

Alan240sx · 07-21-2014, 05:25 PM

Finally thanks silviastunter! I was gonna replace the Tob anyways. another question where can I order all the bolts? Enjuku?

Silviastunter · 07-21-2014, 05:29 PM

I usually order from Frsport.com

angel mkiv · 07-21-2014, 05:36 PM

Your missing the flywheel and shifter on that list.the auto trans uses a flexplate that won't work with a 5 speed trans..

Comp clutch white bunny kit includes a flywheel.

+1 Frsport! Also you may want a Rubber Shift Boot and a manual interior trim.

shinhed · 07-21-2014, 06:55 PM

Make sure you get the 5-speed transmission dust cover. Isn't that necessary, but does it's job, and my 5-speed swap project is on jack stands waiting for it's arrival.

Alan240sx · 07-21-2014, 08:27 PM

Thanks guys for clearing it all up ordering my last few things!

LoSt180 · 07-22-2014, 07:11 AM

Does the Isis conversion line go all the way to the slave cylinder, or will he still need the short hose from slave to where the stock hard line ends?

Primo's Silvia · 07-22-2014, 08:18 AM

And dont forget about the wiring! Lol
Remember to by pass the old auto starter signal wire by taping them together, or runn it to ur clutch pedal for safety??

Run it to a relay, don't run the start signal wires directly to the clutch pedal.

The old wires next to the fuse box come in very handy to get wires into the cabin cleanly.

Alan240sx · 07-22-2014, 05:58 PM

I'm already thinking about the wiring! Thank you all for the great feedback it helped a lot. If I have anymore questions I'll post them here

djnicky240 · 08-12-2014, 07:10 PM

If its an S13 no need to wire up the clutch pedal. Get used to pushing in the clutch pedal when you start the car or make sure she is in neutral.

Goofs · 08-14-2014, 10:46 AM

Definitely some useful info in here. I heard the difficulty on this isn't too bad. Also, whast the price range for the whole swap
