Chech the Tech section dude, there is plenty of info there.

A shortened R31 skyline diff is the go dude, well thats what most people up-grade to when the power becomes too much for the H165. Some choose Hiluxs diffs and others even go the ALMIGHTY ford 9in. There is plenty of bits available for the R31 diff as it is just a Borg Warner diff with 4 stud axles. So you could whack in a crappadoor or falcon LSD and there are a few ratios to choose from.

I see you are in townsville, a mate of mine at Stainless Customs is currently doing this exact conversion, once he finishes I can find out some details and let you know how it went. As for the brakes the R31 diff comes with disc brakes so all you will have to do is hook up the hydraulic lines and modify a handbrake set-up.

Engine wise is a personal thing. For my conversion (ONE DAY) I am going to put in the SR20DE cause I reccon there is allot more aftermarket parts at better priced compared to the CA18DET. Most people go the CA18DET cause its powerfull right from the word go, its also a bit lighter and some say its stronger. Just decide waht you want out of the engine and go from there.

thanks man i know some one that works there. his name is dylan gibbs so ill go in with him some time in the next coupple of months first i need to buy a half cut of a s13. also i was woundering if the brakes from the s13 will fit on the stock front axel

thanks for all the info

if your ute has discs standard then the s13 brakes can be adapted on, search silvia brakes or something like that on this site and you should find plenty of info

s15 in the front , and hilux lsd in the back mate hey bundy351 ther is chris can aprove the sr20 det in townsville in 1200 ute's sr20 de are pusssssssed

hey syco didnt you find out that your ute cant be aproved wit a sr20det ??????

reminds me of a good movie 'wat do ya know syco ' not much lol

Hay sycodat, who are the people who approve SR20DET into 1200 utes??? I would like to know what I have to do to make it legal cause according to the department of transport only a 2.0l NA motor will legally fit. 1.8L is the largest Turbo donk

are u 100% sure about sr20det in 1200's in townsville that would be great,

not to question sycodats credablity or anything

but does he actually have a car?
apart for the ute that runs a 9.1 with the hybrid 20bsr20det monster

some pics or something would be good
