Hey,

Im seriously looking into get a S14 and doing the strawberry faced conversion to it as I want something different. I have been looking for sites to find out info but are mainly about the 180sx.

So I have found a place in Victoria that can sell me all the bits I need out of a magazine but I would like to know if anywere in Sydney do it and the quality of the panels that they have....

All im looking for is some info on procedure and problems that I might face and if anyone has done it themselves or had a good workshops done it for them??

I know all about the cost involved but am willing to give it a shot to do something a little different....

hiya, we've done a few conversions on S14's to S15 fronts now. One of the workshop's demo cars is an S1 S14 with a frontend conversion. It was in HPi recently too. Anyways... some pics:

Most of the parts used are genuine Nissan (headlights, latches, bonnet etc) and the adapters etc are all fabricated to fit properly first time, so there's hardly any issues. Most of the cars that come in have accidents in the front so the major hold up is usually fixing radiator supports and things like that. We've done a few NSW cars too now basically the owners drive the car up, leave it with us and then they come and pick it up when its done.

not really my shop, just do some work there and tinker with my cars there. Details are on the front page of

http://www.driftline.com.au

Cost is I think around $2750 for parts and labour (not including paint) with a trade in on the parts that are taken off the car. Although that's for 180sx strawberry conversion, ring Roshan on the contact number on the site and tell him you're from SAU and he should give you a good price.

      I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.

      I couldn't agree more. As an owner of a built high HP skyline, I'd be a hypocrite to not buy a Hummer for the reasons you listed though haha.

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Is this the one? https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php?id_product=2192&rewrite=nissan-stagea-c34-rear-boot-actuator-assembly-90550-0v000 Might be worth having a look at yahoo japan as well. Though it seems a bit odd. If the motor works itself, other than being noisy, then wouldn't it be more likely that it's an electrical issue somewhere else? And it being noisy does not seem as surprising if it has been chugging away for months

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By BCs300z · Posted

      I know this thread is quite old, but I found it, it helped me, but I also wanted to add my experience and troubleshooting finds to the chat for others. I have not been able to open the rear hatch of my 97 Stagea for several months. Figured it had just really sealed itself up over the winter and I would just get to it eventually. Well that day was yesterday. Some time ago, I noticed my battery was going flat all the time. It was frustrating. Then one quiet night in the garage, I could hear and ever so slight humming / grinding noise coming from the back of the car. It was like a really quiet popping sound or something like sand in a very low speed blender. I took off the panels in the back and noticed the noise coming from the auto close motor, so I unplugged it and the noise stopped. And the auto close was disabled. Well, fast forward to yesterday, I tried all the tricks with power and fuse and lock and unlock and I still could open the damn hatch. So I took off the panels from the inside and found the auto lock had engaged and was stuck in close position. When plugging and unplugging the fuse, I could hear the relay clicking. So I plugged the autoclose motor back in, and the damn thing let go. And immediately started making that grinding sound again. This time, instead of just unplugging the motor, I pulled the fuse, thus depowering the relay entirely. I don't have the autoclose feature now, but at least I can open the boot and not have my battery being sucked dead all the time. Not sure what caused the motor to latch when it was unplugged from the system, but I am pretty sure it won't cause any more problems now.  If anyone has a lead on a new motor, please let me know. It's a cool feature that I would like to get back.  Hope this helps.
