Auto To 5speed.....possible?

[v-opt]

Hi. Ive been considering a SC300 for a while now but I've only been able to find them with auto trans. I have never seen one in 5Spd yet. So I was just thinking if It is possible to swap a 1jz or a 2jz with a 5spd trans into one with auto. Or just use the same motor and put a manual trans in it......again if it's possible. Sorry if this has been asked before but I tried to search but didnt come up with anything. Basically it will be used for drifting and autoX. A 240sx is kinda hard to find nowadays since everyone is buying them. So in the end, the inside doesnt have to look nice because I will be gutting it anyway. Thanks in advance. :)

Anything is possible. Not sure that it has been done though.

The sc300 is kind of heavy for drifting. Due to the market group that buys sc300's, there aren't many performance aftermarket parts for handling, however I did read that the 4th gen supra has many interchangeable parts.

For stock solo II autocross, your up against the toyota supra n/a. The supra n/a is basically a de-luxuritized 300 pound lighter sc300.

240sx is very tough to find. Even the ones you find have mechanical problems. My older brother has a 91 toyota mr2. Seems like a good car because there's no power steering and it's mid engine. Only problem is that it's n/a and the engine is a little underpowered to power oversteer on 205mm wide tires. He got his for 4800 which is also a rare find.

Thanks for the info....yeah it is kinda heavy (which is why I wanted a 240sx) but it's still possible. Its pretty popular in Japan to use a Soarer which from what I know is basically the same except for the turbos. Although there's only 1 that competes in D1 that I know of. As far as suspension, I've seen some parts for the SC and it's good enough. The main thing is I'll be really stripping it down as far as I can.

As for the swap from the auto to 5Spd, do you know if there will be a lot of fab work if any?
