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..

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
