i took a photo of the whole dash out, but thats the only one. as i was running out of daylight. the conversion wasnt too hard , just time consuming and frustrating if youve never done it before.
but i think the dash has to come out again cos the blend door motor isnt working. but it doesnt worry me as ive done it before and know what to do. if u do go ahead with it just ask me and i will tell u almost everything u need to know. after doing it its not as hard as it seems. best way to do it is swapping the dash loom and heater box from a fairmont, down side is need to get ur aircon regassed and drain coolant. u will also need a fairmont headlight switch (green plug) and green bcm. when the dash is out ill take pics and do a write up of the conversion. except the heater box wont be coming out thank f**k cos that was a C*** to get in lol i did it all by myself in a day, so i u have a few mates to help should be easy

What did you use as a retainer to hold the gearboot in the console?

I used the stock frame. U rip your old gearboot off it and put on the new one. Use glue to help it stay up there.( the over hanging leather) it's a tight squeeze to get on. It has the holes cut out of it for the clips . It's basically a stock replacement . I got it off eBay , it says it's for Ef/ el but comes from US weird huh. Lol

And the switches were sticky and sometimes didn't work, so I took the ef ones off two rear door trims I had. I kinda like the black buttons . ( clock , climate control) but couldn't be bothered swapping them over.

UPDATE
Ordered a set of bilstein shocks. Just waiting on their arrival. Also forgot to add I fixed my blend door issues / heating issues. Took the whole dash out and checked all plugs. Then I got a 12v battery and jump started the blend door. It works perfectly . Then I replaced 2 vacuum hoses which I didn't feed through the firewall. so instead of having 1 Vacuum hose coming out the fire wall I now have 3 . So that's fixed. Put all the dash back together . Calibrated the blend door and no errors . But still no heat . That didn't worry me because I knew it had to be the thermostat . So I waited till my engine was cold, took off the housing and my thermostat was open 5mm . Put in a working one and instant heat. Now I just need it regassed for the summer heat lol

Cheers mate.
J3 never worked out for me, had replaced, retuned. Ecu cleaned etc. Still problems . It doesn't really need one any way . Idle hunts a bit but that's ok. I got a aftermarket ecu for my boosted set up. Car will stay stock until I'm on my full licence. I think this is as much as I'll get out of it N/A without spending lots of $$$

yeah true i was speaking to one of my mechanic mates yesterday and we were talking about turboing cars he's done his eb and i was talking about doing mine when i get off my p's and he dropped a stock standard au motor in his eb turbo'd it,cracked all six pistons in 3 days changed the pistons and con rods to the ef ones bcos apparantly they're conrods are really strong and their pistons are a little bowled so it can with stand alot more booost. he reckons from the standard motor he's getting just under 300kw's at the wheels.this car running on LPGas aswell. something im considering.but at the moment being on my P's i want to try and get the power you've got, ive got an el xr6 heritage green its at the workshop now getting an au xr6 motor dropped in so im probs just gonna get a cam in a few weeks tune my j3 to the cam probs get stage two shift kit with a mini high stall converter and thats it till i get it booost'd..
and btw he also told me to stay away from the manual t5's he said its the worst for turbo's..just stripps third gear, thats going off what he told me.i mean ive got the auto in my car, love the fun in the manual but off the line i kill my mates, and everyone says drop a high stall and stage 2 shift kit and you can say bye bye manual.
