Just a pointer re RHD.... Have you looked into compliance on a japanese car? It would be a hell of a lot cheaper to buy a car out of japan and get it shipped to the states.

It just seems crazy doing a RHD conversion on a car that was always designed and mostly produced as a RHD vehicle. Would save you so much heartache to just buy one..

If its an S13 you can pick them up for next to nothing (probably similar there in the states).

In the states it's not that easy. Here these cars are highly illegal, so customs will sieze these cars as soon as they cross over here. You cant bring them over in the full car, so thats why you usually see them chopped in half. That's why we only get front clips. People who have these cars are getting them taken away by the government and they get crushed.

RB30 block is 38mm taller which is 1.496 inches,

youll need a new manifold fabbed up once engine is in the car

im thinking bout having the old manifold redone but imma take it a really good welder an see what he thinks.

Needs some wider tyres! That's a massive turbo... are you having a bonnet bulge or scoop?

I have made a spacer for the hood for now but I'm thinking of making a cool looking scoop for tho. What you think?

have you made sure this one doesnt catch on fire again...

Are you after a 'your so cool' post or did you actually have a question?

maybe you should put this stuff in the build thread...

back pats galore there...

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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?
