thats what I figured too... so I dont know which I would do first: A small shot of nitrous to help my speedier needs ( first and foremost at the track of course, secondly, I dont think id waste a spray on anyone in the streets), or *attempt* the auto-manual swap once I talk to my friend about helping me out and ordering the parts...

Im thinking... the basic ls manual components, except for an act clutch, and maybe a lightened flywheel? If money were to allow it, an LSD of course... anyone have any preference over the gsr "lsd" or an aftermarket?
