Hey

As most of you have heard - I broke my baby on the cruise... now the front end is completly f*ucked I thought this leaves me some room to change some things for the better.

What do you guys think of sileighty conversions? I think they look pretty good if you have a mean looking front body kit.

Is it a matter of just getting silvia side panels, bonnet and nose cone? Or would it be easier to stick with the 180?

Also where do I get car panel parts from? Just a jap wreck place? Can anyone recommend?

don't ya need a whole front cut?

not for the engine though

but for the chassis?

180 front looks a bit more narrow

silvia bit wider

so silvia panels will be meant for silvia chassis?

correct me if i am wrong?

adrian :D

Is it hard to do? Is it just a matter of replacing the front panels?

I'm too cluey on silvias - what does a s14 front look like in comparison to an s15? Does someone have a website I can look at?

Rev - I agree - sil80's look very gay if not done right. I have seen some awesome ones in magazines - they have to have a mean looking front end. If you just chuck a silvia front on it - it looks crap

Sneeza,

I might be able to get panels for you, which ever way you decide to go. I like the Sil80's. C-red might be worth calling, cause they have brought some in previously and might be able to tell you what's involved.

BWAHHAHAHAHA!!! "bun route?" is THAT like the "tunnel of love thing" heheh

How hard is that pearl paint to re-spray? is it a two part job to a normal white undercoat or what ?

Can you put a pearl on a white car (ie mine) ? Easy stuff?

sorry, a bit OT.

I don't see insurance having a prob with it. I am not going through insurance for this bingle anyway.

I am reading on (god help me) silvias aust - they have an article about conversions. The s14 and the RPS13 (my car) were built along side each other - so its a matter of changing the headlight wiring and then bolt the nose cone on... and the panels. they reckon it is pretty easy

Kym,

I had to go and quickly change all my bunrout's into burnout's, don't want them thinking I'm gay:p

Sneeza,

If it's just panels then that should be easy. We can source some parts then help fit it for you, and maybe talk Works Auto into spraying it cheap to.

I just spoke to Geoff at C-red - REALLY nice guy. He reckons $1000 - $1200 for a sileighty conversion.... that's pretty good I thought!!! He said its just replacing all front panels and wiring. He also said respray the front for about $600.... He said he has a 180sx nose cone ($300) and bonnet ($500) if I want to stay with the 180. Are these good prices???

Thank paul for putting me onto them !

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
