because of my stupid electrical problem i am thinking of either tearing all the wiring out and having an auto elect put all new stuff in or taking the ute off the road and doing some kinda conversion.... the holden v6 conversion looks tempting are there any other rear wheel drive 6 cylinders that may fit in?

i think audi makes a v4 aparently

probly cost an arm and a leg tho

I've seen a pic on the net of a white 1200 ute with a RB20 in it.

You could do whatever you wanted really if your pockets were deep enough, you could forget about legitimate rego though

haha i kinda like legit rego... would a injected subaru 4 banger fit? would the engine bay be wide enough?

Come on bud Humor an old bloke Keep it Datsun/Nissan. Ive just been through some wiring dramas and came out the other side after 2 phone calls to 2 different auto electricians and picking peoples brains here finally found one wire had a weak connection and bang off she went. PM or email Me ya number we can talk through the symptoms etc.

ej20 too wide for the inner panels in the engine bay let alone the chasis rails. v6 can be done, rb needs fire wall mods a bit.

haha i posted the syptoms in 'datto no gogo' lol but i will PM you my number and talk through it with you for sure..... i know its gotta be something simple and right in my face i just cant pick it.... ive fixed 2 broken wires and a relay and still no love.... im missing another broken wire somewhere plus whoever wired this up last did a terrible job.... my choices are completely rewire the old girl or do the conversion thing, im leaning towards the CA conversion because its been done plenty times before

I'm thinking rewiring it would be a whole lot cheaper, but you'll end up having a weapon if you do a conversion of some sort.

does anyone know a ball park figure on a rewire job?

why not a VG30 out of 80s 300 zed?
