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

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
