The Car - $700. The idea - 100kw 4AGE. Engine, gearbox, clutch and flywheel - $1100 Spigot bearing, and release bearing $20 flywheel bolts $26 Clutch master and slave $80 Custom clutch pipe $120 RWD exhaust $150 (possibly more) Aussie B2, S350 $800 Tank $380 Dizzy $200 Pipes, Lockoff, Installation $500 2" exhaust with resonator and muffler- $250 radiator hoses, clamps, bends etc- $100 radiator mods and rebuild (includes heater oultlet mod)$300 Tailshaft- $300 Remote Oil Filter, Adaptor and Cooler - $300 Speedflow fittings and Pushlock hose - $200 Autometer gauges $550 Plugs $20 Oil $150 Leads $30 Paint $180 Wheels and Tyres - $150 Odessey Battery - $240 Battery Cables to suit $60 New Springs and Shocks $500 General shit, machining, bracketry, paint ect - $300 All this is $7706 including cost of car! Stage 1 of things to do Autometer speedo and tacho $900 Seats $300 Brakes $1000 (but envisage much less than this) Diff $1000 (shortened R31 Skyline/VL Commy LSD with 4.11's) Wheels $1500 Lightened Flywheel - $600 Clutch to suit - $300 End of Stage 1 = $13206 Stage 2 of things to do ECU for ignition $1500 RB20DET BB turbo $450 Oil lines, water lines $300 Exhaust to suit $800 End of Stage 2 = $16356 Gotta add in there a paint job (which will only cost $180 and my time (coz I'm doing it) And one more thing - time and knowledge gained = Priceless. For me with this ordeal its been a real autoshop 101! Don't forget Just Cars rego which will be $$$$ and ongoing registration costs, fuel is cheap until the government add there bit onto LPG then it will be the same as normal optimax. Now how cheap is an engine conversion? Even if you do it to my pre stage 1 - its still expensive! You look in the paper and see 4AGE 100kw for $650 - and then the REAL expenses start. Would I do it again. You bet! It would be 100% easier for me the second time around because of what I've learned, I owe it all to a very good bunch of friends to making this happen and educating me - again something you can't put a $ value on! Oh and yeah. Throw on engineering costs - if memory serves $450 for inspection and then god knows how much! [Updated on: Mon, 13 October 2003 21:45] [Report message to a moderator]
