thanx everyone for the help and i will pick heaps of chicks up in da ute when its finished and i need some other thing first like

225mm disc brakes
r31 shortened diff lsd
engine bay needs bead blasting and paint
new sills and some rust work in the tray NM
dint in door needs repair(my dad was pissd off so he kicked it in)
new gear box tunnel
new motor mounts (maddat)
and of course SR20DET

Just get all the bits and plug them in! It's easy as.....


No not really, if you are really 15 you should be worrying about other thins like slamming sheilas not turbo'ing datsun's.

Smart move. Get the ute looking sweet with a weber carby and nice body and stick with it for a while. If you can collect all the bits for the conversion before you start you will be more likely to finish it.

But seriously I dont recomend a turbo Datto for a inexperienced driver. No retractable seatbelts, seatbelt tensioners, air bags, grumple zones, side intrusion protection etc. So if you F### up you may not survive and trust me these things are Bloody quick cars. Howver they have a colapsable steering column for safety.

thanks for your help but the cost is to much at the moment so ill colect the parts slowly and because im only 15 i dont have my license so i will not be allowed a turboed car so that makes it a bit hard so il just put a extractor and 2 webers or su,s and just wiat till i have my full license but thanks for that info it makes it alot easyer

lol hummm.....ok! lost it

gaffa tape and cable ties?

Or buy one already done. Yes it takes the joy and heartache out of the job which go hand in hand really. You would get one for around 10k i reckon.

So in a nutshell,lots of time,money and experiance.
And another daily while it all happens.

datokid, as all the guys above said its a time consuming and expensive conversion, but that said they go like a shower of ####!

The fire wall does not need to be recessed, but a larger tunnel is needed.

The SR is a more envolved conversion over a CA, as the size of the engine is a far bit larger and makes all the tollerences much tighter. Radiator and cooler can be fitted behind the grill (just) and we have a custom rad. to suit.

I dont want to scare you off, but i hate seeing unfinished projects for sale, but you would want to allow minimum of $10,000 for the conversion if you do most of the instilation yourself.
Remember you must upgrade you brakes/suspention and diff with any high power conversion.


We can supply everything needed for the job, or what ever you need.

yer fire wall stay's , check out sssute's build thread with all the parts ready to go did it in 9 days

your in perth, if ya want to drop over one day and check out my ute thats in the process of getting a sr20det put in it . it might give you a better idea of wats need'd but hears a quick run down , mines been off the road for 2+ years in that time its had a ca18de then ca18det then a second ca18det now a sr20det is about to go in ,
i have the maddat diff, brake booster ,crossmembers , mazda rx7 brakes with coilovers , fmic , 3inch zorst , fuel cell n surge tank , so pretty much every bit has to been swap'd for bigger stronger parts , some things people say you can get away with like the stock diff n only upgrage to stanza brakes , but i found the diff need's to be lsd or you'll paint black line's with out knowing it , and the stanza brakes where scary imo

cheers
