OK i am having a bit of trouble finding a engine conversion specialist i have a 5Ltr VS engine and transmission with accessories to go in to my HZ 1 tonner but i am having trouble finding an installer, i can find people who would have a go but i want someone who has done it before and more than once. i live in country vic east gippsland i found someone in morwell who some what seems to be our specelist but he was verry rluctend to even give me an idea on what the conversion would cost in the end he seems to think that it shouldnt cost anymore than $4000 to install and that is on top of the engine that i have sourced myself.!!!!!!!!! So my question is does anyone know of an installer that can do the the job that needs to be done here in vic i'm willing to travell from gippsland to melbourne and surrounding areas!!!!!!! my email is [email protected] thank you.

Steve Kalfat from MKAL can do the wiring, and any mechanic with half a brain can do the mechanical side. you also need a fuel return line for the EFI
If nissan motorsport is nismo, then doesnt that make honda motorsport Homo?

What about Castle Auto Electrics, Adrian Seelenmeyer conversions or Castlemaine Rod Shop. These businesses have probably done this conversion many times.

Youve given yourself a harder task than you need. A VN-VP engine and box is a lot easier as you dont have to do anything to your speedo, and dont have to modify the ECU to remove the BCM input. If you have a manual engine and harness it is a bit easier as |

I can do a drive in drive out for you. I would have to get some subcontracters. eg. exhaust, wiring, but I can do the entire job flawless and with RWC. I would take full responsibility from start to finish. e-mail from my website www.ehlimo.com.auEdited by user Tuesday, 22 January 2008 5:29:14 AM(UTC)
