Buyers guide to engineers in Vic. Post up!

[fly-s30]

Hi

Starting this thread as I'm about to go down the road of looking for an engineer for the SR/Z conversion 

What i would like to know from those of you who have used an engineer is:

• What engine was your conversion done with? Box? Diff?
  
• What items did you want to include in the build, but told you couldn't? i.e aftermarket computer, top mount turbo, structural welding, coil overs?
  
• Was suspension modified?What was done? How was it treated by them? Your limits to wheel sizes?
  
• Where there any structural modifications granted? i.e rails modified, custom mounts, x member, rad support reinforced
  
• Most importantly, who where the engineers, and would you recommend them to anyone else?
  
• Post up links to your build, and the relevant pages
  

 

Thanks a lot already!

Cheers

Darius

I just needed to improve clearance on exhaust, balance tailshaft, adjust brakes and a few other small detail. Good service from these guys and would recommend to anyone modifying a vehicle.
