If anyone is after a engine conversion, ( jap car or for a jap motor ) or half cut ect.
id recomend one place. they did my car and it is great. the engineer said it is a fully sick uleh ( not his words ) job and engineered it easy as pie.

havnt had anyproblems appart from a farked fuel pump. ive replaced it, and ive got another one being posted to me from the businees as its under warenty.

the prices are good as gold.

PM me for the business name if you interested.

which city ?

why not just post it up? your only saying good things!

hey what car? in ya silvia? or is that your only one? cos i know cooper automotive did an engine conversion or swap or something in an integra, did an excellent job....

its in Melbourne.

BUT they did a top job. i organised it 2 days before i gave them my car. and it was readdy 4 days later. even engineered!

they did engine, gearbox, ( auto to manual ) brakes, diff, a bit of rice rice.......... ect.

they fabricate all pipework if your after a cooler or needing a dump pipe. ( like me )

They are rough mechanics (in the way they act) but they do know their s#!t.

dunno if this farks with the advertising rules but ill post the website below. if its against rules MODs delete it. just trying to help others.

That looks like a fairly expensive job...


ITs great they did a good job!

yeah was in werners silvia 2day, did a real good job

hey mate was the engine all rebuilt or second hand?

One piece of advice for your car after helping diagnose whatever problem it had (presuming it ended up being the fuel pump that replaced the fucked fuel pump also being fucked ), tidy up and replace some of the wiring in your engine bay.

The wiring to your AFM in particular, using three different types of wire and taping it all together is not on.

hey tas 180, is your name martin? cos someone i know has a 180 that he is/did do up, an he is a mechanic, just wondering if it was u?

if i were looking to do an engine connversiojn here in tas, where would i go to get the half cut? in tas.

no dude.. his name isn't martin



depends what you're looking for.. imo you're better off just talking to a mainland place.. (depending what sort of halfcut you want, because theres a fair few over there) and depending on whether or not you can be stuffed.. doing the converstion yourself..

DIY conversion is the way to go.... i've got Moe plus others that are gonna help me with mine.... I mean what... thats crazy talk

haha GO J!!!

ah ok, does anyone know who im talkin about? martin.....? he is a mechanic, and he has a few imported cars, skyline R32's, 180sx, cefiro, corolla

You putting a turbo engine in J?

no.. i think he wants to wear it like a hat for a while...

who's putting a turbo engine in me? I doubt it would fit in my small frame!

Zachariah... I don't have a turbo engine

I heard he was going to put it in the boot and use the turbo engine for hooning.

yea i know martin, top bloke....
but no need to throw names around on a forum

Yeah x2 that he helped me out on the drift day Top bloke.

I mean't in your car?





I mean't in your car?

sorry man

you might think that paying a bit ova 5 grand for a conversion is a bit pricy, but in my eyes its worth every cent, its all legal, its all engineered and best of all it got done in 4 days. i didnt have to wait whilst i chased ppl around for the wiring, or a part i needed. im happy i didnt put up with the hassle. it was gonna cost me $3500 for a halfcut and another $800 to get it to tassie. thats $4300 just to get it into my yard. not into my car.
( im not concerned about what price anyone can get a halfcut for im going off the lowest price i was given by everywhere i called, if you can find one cheaper give yourself a medal, tell your mum, she would be proud )

then i also got a LSD, Brakes and brake mastercylinder, tailshaft to suit manual, turbo timer, BOV. ect
car went from auto to manual.

and got everything and got it all fitted. for just over 5 grand.

so id say its worth it. i couldnt be stuffed with all the hassle, i had to get it done within a week because i was moving out of hobart.

plus ive got a waranty. so if somthing farks up. they send me the part.
sure my fuel pump died. but TAS 180 a new Bosch one arived in the mail. they only gave me 1 bad pump. the 2 you speak of, was my origional non turbo one and the faulty turbo one.

the only reason they didnt test or fit the pump was because of my boot install. they said if it wasnt right they would replace it. and they did.

sure the wiring could use a tidy up. and ill do it eventually.
BUT i only organised it, 2 days before they got the car.
and they had it done 4 days later. so they didnt have enough time to tidy the wiring.
its not that bad. but it could use a bit of TLC.
