Does anyone know a reputable business in Melbourne/Victoria that could undertake an engine conversion project for me? Has anyone heard any good reports/bad reports about any businesses that have undertaken for yourselves or people you know?

I'm trying to find someone to do the work for me.

Ahhh, that would be highly confidential.

It should be a problem though, it's just upgrading an smaller engine to a larger factory engine that was an option on this vehicle. Unfortunately, the original owner did not option the larger engine however, so that's now for me to do.

Unless you post what the conversion is, it will be difficult for anyone to suggest anything. Like what car (yes, we can assume that it is a skyline, but as they say 'assumptions are the mother of all fck ups') engine, transmission etc etc. Additionally, if you actually post the conversion, there is bound to be someone on the forums who has done it - SR20 into R32, RB26DETT into R33 GTSt, RB25 into 180sx, RB25 into silvia. Not to mention stroker RB30s and other monsters... ppl are here to help and will probably save you $$$. But hey, if its classified, thats ok :P

i guess, is200 -> is300tt(2jz-gte/1jz-gte)?

well that was what i thinking everyday anyway :)

i am towards 1J conversion as it's cheaper

and my aim is only 400hp

both of the engine will reach it easily

but the problem is there is no factory fit 1JZ is200

only 2JZGE(N/A) is300

it seems stick with the 2JZ will give me better resale ability

what do u guy think?

it seems will be 1 of the best car down the track, from what i see from the JGTC - last year or 2 years b4. The N+ RS200 with the 3SGE get a result of No. 4 in the whole class. Beat the group 3, 4 bigger power car like S15, S2000. and it was only 1 sec slower than the group 1 R34 GTR

    • 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.
