fj swap
 

At last..... managed to get a complete fj well almost.
My offer has been accepted but i just need to collect and pay.
The fj is from a dr30.

1) is it a straight forward swap as i heard nissan had to modify engine to fit into s12?

2) will it fit onto original mounts? My current engine is an ca18et

3)what problems i am likely to come across?

4) has anybody done this conversion.

I hope to start rebulding the engine around february so hopefull will have some picture up soon!

Thanks in advance

where are you at mate ? i've done the fj conversion into a ca18et auto,fj engine mounts are different, but i've used solid ones anyway,what gearbox are you using ? check out my project it may be some help to you :)

i think it was just the manifolds that were different.

what ecu are you going to use ? and are you leaving it n/a or turboing it ?

Hi
I am in amersham in bucks. I am hoping to use the box that is coming with the engine as its a complete engine. I have an ecu but wont be needing it as i am going to put twin 45's. The manifold will be made by bogg bros.
Thanks

The fj will be going into my dads s12. A grey mk2 that some may have seen at retro rides this year.

i know that kamari do a inlet manifold for carbs mate.

Hmm will have to think as bogg bros are asking for £240 for the manifold. Or 285 for weber refurb included.
I am new to this what would you reccomend?
Where abouts are you?

Then ive also gotta take the cost of tbe webers into account.
Do you know anyone with twin 45 for sale for a reasonable price?

the kameari do seem expensive,i'am not up on carbs mate, i'll ask around about carbs for you though, i'am in chesterfield.

Chesterfield that quite far from me. Sometimes near that end as grand parents live in worcester and west brom....

Will a fj engine fit under mk2 bonnet?
And will an fj bonnet fit on a mk2 s12?
Thanks

This is my dads s12 which will be getting the fj.

looks nice mate and the wheels suit it too ;)

Thanks mate
They are enkei's made for nissan and datsun rally tea, which are from the 240rs works car.
I would like to do a coilover conversion whilst the CA is out. Its just to high at the front for my liking.
Im not sure if i should do s13 swap over or just have custom ones using the DIY kit from rally desgins

i've done my own using rally design parts, but i'am doing the s13 coilovers soon because i need 5 stud for my new wheels.

How good are the rally design kit.
What needs doing with them

you need the 2 1/4 " threaded tube, grind the spring cup off of the std struts, clean the struts up and slide the tubes down and weld them up.

Thanks for the help s13eater

Will let you know how project goes

S13eater,
Will the dr30 fj gearbox bolt directly where the ca18 gearbox was?
