for all the parts u need for the conversaion - it should cost around 500 bucks. u will need most turbo parts - ecu, injectors, manifold, turbo, lines, dump pipe, front pipe, intercooler, n also u will need to upgrade ur fuel pump..and then theres the cost of labour - im not too sure exactly how much thatll cost - everyplace is different, but make sure u shop around for a good workshop that actually knows about skylines.

hope that helps you out mate.

Theres a sticky thread at the top of this section. Note, you do not need to change your fuel pump.

You need to think aswell if you want to upgrade your brakes, gearbox etc to the turbo ones?

depends how much you want to spend and how good quality, how much you can do yourself and how much help you get from here if you havent done it before (i wasted money on some things that wernt every explainded on the forum)

you will need a good quality second hand turbo, prob want to spend like $300-$450 for that, make sure it comes with oil and water lines and the elbow pipe,

you will need a manifold prob around $100-150 but make sure when you get it isnt warped, grr mine was warped and blew my gasked and then had to take it off repace gasket @ over 110 a gasket from nissan, then get it machiened and put back on

for $50 its best to just get it machiened before you put it on for security

You'll also need dump and front pipe, prob $40-100

you'll need at least a manifold gasket but best to do turbo and dump gaskets about $180 all up from nissan

Intercooler and piping $50-$200

injectors like $100

ecu $50

best to do fuel pump to with a gtst item $50

or you could get an aftermarket pump and a regulator to get you threw till you upgrade injectors later down the track.

all these parts should get you going, if you got some sort of mechanical knowledge you should be able to put it together on your own/with a mate

if you got more money to spend id sugest the following

1. tuneable ecu

2. bigger fuel pump

3. bigger injectors

4.bigger turbo back exhaust

5. bigger brakes

6. bigger intercooler

7. better quality turbo, not so much bigger but better flowing ie garret or something

hope that helps as a very very short brake down on possible cost, plus best to plan for more money unexpected costs, but ey ends up a great car to drive mine hit full boost at like 1800 rpm

Stocko fuel pump is good for ~300rwhp... i know this from experience.

is there places that you can just take the car and like they buy all those parts for you and install it or do you have to buy the parts then take it to the workshop?

[unarmed_skyline]

do a search but from memory there is a place that will do the conversion drive in drive out but the cost was more around the $4000 mark, which is about what any place would charge to do the conversion if they supplied the parts.

does anyone know any places in melbourne that do the full thing?
