Hey, can anyone recommend any good places to go to as far as front cuts, engines conversions etc go in Perth?

I'm looking to buy a cheap N/A (auto, yuck!!) Cefiro but I need to make sure that I can get it converted to an RB20DET / RB25DET (!!) / SR20DET as required.

Pricing for each of the front cuts obviously differs (from $1500 - $4000) but I just need to find out labour costs for the conversion and where I can go for expertise if I do some of it myself.

Thanks!!

If paul is gonna give u the details i think he is then thats prolly ure best bet. Radium st?

Chris Mills performance did well on my rebuild and they were pretty well priced. Although they outsource their tuning and dyno stuff to sst. So might be worth checking both places. Or even use CMP (chris mills performance) for the major stuff and sst to fine tune it.

Thanks a lot to everyone who posted and PM'd me. Don't actually have a car yet (sold the Civic VTi-R to be able get the wife a Supra) but I'm working on it!!

Just needed to make sure of availability / difficulty / pricing etc and it seems like there's plenty of people around who can help.

To Boostzor, GTS-t VSPEC and R32-GTS, I'll PM you a little bit later when things start moving along. Maybe one day I'll see you out on the streets and you can kick my ass in a drag!! :-)

See ya!!

Why wouldn't you just buy one already done.

Price of a cheap auto 88 model is still around 250K yen in Japland and a manual , drift out , turbo one is around 450K yen.

Time you buy the front cut , get someone to do the convo and on the road then the 200 odd K yen will be cheap..

Cheers

    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
    • I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
