buy a 33gts-t. build that. easiest/cheapest option. if you have the desire to do it, and deep pockets, go for it!

Give Mark Tilbrook at Tilbrook auto and dyno a call, he will tell you straight up what can and cant be done, and how much it is likely to cost. they did my conversion, and it is awsome, but like Damo said, I hope you have deep pockets, cos doing a proper job wont be cheap.

lol your a walking tilbrook advertisment Chad :D

^^^ then why didnt you get him to tune it

i say ring boostworx and see who gives the better quote

cos tilbrook is a builder not a tuner, if somone can do something better than he can he will let them. he just does what he knows he is best at, and thats building cars. leave the other stuff up 2 the pro's in that field.

if your local to pooraka give fours n more a call, they did the conversion and tuning on my car and it hasnt missed a beat in almost a year of drifting, they do awesome work and are top blokes. 82602011 is their number. Let them know luke with the r31 reccomended you.

then why have a dyno and on your sticker im sure it says tilbrooks auto and dyno tuners something like that

but i agree if some one does a better job then yeah go there

the business is called Tilbrook Auto & Dyno, and there dyno gets way more use for diognostics and checking for safe air fuel ratios, than it does for tuning, and they use Martin Donnin for the tuning, who is one of the best in Australia. Just look at their DA car and you will see how good there work is, but hey, thats just my opinion.

ah yeah wasn't sure if they had tuners in there name also

his is 4wd so R33 front cut is more effort involved to get the AWD sump on the 33 block its doable but might as well get a stagea

hey man.. do you know someone with the parts? unless you do, i don't really see the point. 33 front cut would basically be the same price and have all of the bits you'd need..

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
