does any one know of any body in sydney that will install an sr20 to datsun1200 ute beside swmotorsports?

Not a guarantee but another member may help you for a few bob. Still gotta engineer it if you take it to someone they will tack the engineering cost on the bill so either way you pay. Have you accumulated all the bits to do it e.g bigger brake setup, Cross member, Radiator, motor, box, wiring and ECU, etc, etc ?

no i haven't got all parts yet as i was going to pay someone to do the lot but swmotorsport wanted 22k not saying thats bad as i know they have the best rep in town and i have seen there workshop and cars and they are very straight. was just wondering if i could possibley do it cheaper?

HA HA 22k Oh god i nearly fell off me chair im doin one myself with some advice along the way and things i cant make like a sway bar. You could do it way cheaper mate and i mean way cheaper. Mine will end up costing me $4000 turn key ready for engineering and that includes buying the wagon shell. Engineering cost $600 in my town. Try pickin up a donor car with SR in it like a bluebird. Or buy a CA one off ebay already done for about 12k Sr ones arent as common but there getting there.

DOn't get a bluebird donor car! FWD sr's are a different best and can't be turned round to rwd. Get a silvia motor.

You could buy up every sr conversion part from maddat and you still wouldn't be at 22k and the maddat stuff is designed around the fact that the average backyard hobbyist should be able to do 90% of the work themselves. If you've got the patience go that route you'll learn a lot more about your car that way and the maddat gear is good quality stuff which will make the conversion a hell of a lot simplier even for some one with no experience.
I'd ring and talk to maddat and get them to explain the process for you. I think you be surprised. Even if you farmed some of the other stuff out like welding in the maddat tunnel, mounting intercooler and runing piping and exhaust etc you should still be under 22k.

Or just do what I did, buy a welder/a datsun and a sr and just learn as you go :) just factor in it taking a couple of years!

WTF ? Bluebirds are rear wheel drive talkin 80's models I should know theres one sitting in me driveway. Also am talking about buying a car already converted cheap for the running gear etc. Be careful you may decide to fix it up and go with it instead i nearly did.

22k...crap...
I did it for $1200 including the cost of the engine!!!
\It was for a racecar though so no engineer needed.
Just get a nice road car you dont have to touch and leave the datsun for track work, otherwise you are going to fork ridiculous money for zippo.
Or get something already done.
Its easy to do yourself really is give it a go...im a computer nerd and did it myself.
U even used the standard cross member.
Maddat does an SR20 conversion kit which makes it even simpler!!!!!!
iD SAY GIVE IT A GO YOURSELF!!!!!!

dATSaDNY 80'S BLUEYS DIDNT COME OUT WITH sr20'S
They have L series or bloody awful CA20's
yes a silvia one is the go...I bought mine from SSS at Girraween for $800 incl box ECU and loom...that was non turbo BTW

Yeah i know they didnt come out with SR. Will repeat im talking about buying a DONOR car that is already converted or running an SR if the price is right. Something like a TRX as you can use other bits off the TRX if series 2 like rear discs on ute diff etc.

wow ok guys thanks for the insight been a good help i will get onto mad dat now hmmm and i spose ill buy a #OOPS#ty run about and set this aside to learn and do myself hmmmmmmm this could be fun or is it possiable to get an A15 to be quick or wouldnt bother ?thanks again !!!
