Hey, can anyone recommend any good places to go to as far as front cuts, engines conversions etc go in Perth?

I'm looking to buy a cheap N/A (auto, yuck!!) Cefiro but I need to make sure that I can get it converted to an RB20DET / RB25DET (!!) / SR20DET as required.

Pricing for each of the front cuts obviously differs (from $1500 - $4000) but I just need to find out labour costs for the conversion and where I can go for expertise if I do some of it myself.

Thanks!!

If paul is gonna give u the details i think he is then thats prolly ure best bet. Radium st?

Chris Mills performance did well on my rebuild and they were pretty well priced. Although they outsource their tuning and dyno stuff to sst. So might be worth checking both places. Or even use CMP (chris mills performance) for the major stuff and sst to fine tune it.

Thanks a lot to everyone who posted and PM'd me. Don't actually have a car yet (sold the Civic VTi-R to be able get the wife a Supra) but I'm working on it!!

Just needed to make sure of availability / difficulty / pricing etc and it seems like there's plenty of people around who can help.

To Boostzor, GTS-t VSPEC and R32-GTS, I'll PM you a little bit later when things start moving along. Maybe one day I'll see you out on the streets and you can kick my ass in a drag!! :-)

See ya!!

Why wouldn't you just buy one already done.

Price of a cheap auto 88 model is still around 250K yen in Japland and a manual , drift out , turbo one is around 450K yen.

Time you buy the front cut , get someone to do the convo and on the road then the 200 odd K yen will be cheap..

Cheers

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
