Good thread dood. I'm in the middle of getting my shit together to do this conv. too, although I'm turboing a de cos I got 1 for free in good nick and I think the high comp/low psi sounds more like my cup of tea.I picked up a det ex manifold,clutch/presure plate and a fly wheel off nissansilvia.com for $40 the lot, so thats proven to be a good source of info and cheap parts.I also intend to use the gearbox out of a gazelle as the dato 1200 boys use this box when fitting ca's and requires little or no tunnel mods(the shortest fs5 box) so it should be good for the sprinter.Its the same basic box behind the L24 in the r30 skyline and has proven to be prety strong, exept the gazelle one has the ca bell housing.Anthony Kellam belives his box mount should work on this box but wasn't 100% sure.I intend to use his mount kit as it sounds like he's realy worked his shit out on this from a handeling point of view and has a good reputation for quality workmanship.I had a tail shaft shortend and ballanced for $88 a couple of years back and I think the dood still advertises that same price in the Melb. trading post so shop around for price.
If I here any thing new or find anything I've said is bollocks I'll get back to you's
