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.

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
