My bad, I thought all Libertys had the EJ22. I'm pretty sure the EJ20 was better as far as power was concerned (don't quote me, but I think something to do with resonance).

As for the GTiR, not a big fan... To me it just seems like a project by Nissan to make something to compete with a WRX, which failed a little. Just my opinion though hehe

Seems like a few good cars are interstate - I don't want the hassle but !

Anyway, I'll keep looking.

Bike is as good as sold, so I might just bide my time and wait for all the P platers to sell their turbo cars for cheap, also people may want to get rid of quick ddue to the propose anti-hoon laws... Gotta love being nearly 40 ;) There's one advantage of being OLD !

also people may want to get rid of quick ddue to the propose anti-hoon laws...

In my opinion people who would do this are kidding themselves. The hoon is the driver, not the car, and I see plently of Camry's, Magnas and Excels doing stupid shit. On the up side, you might get a cheap car out of it though, I won't disagree ;)

Hey that's true!

But why get another torquey straight-line monster (or a car that you can turn into one) when you've already got one. You've got the sledgehammer, go for the scalpel.

Any rotary based car that has had its engine replaced with an inferior piston engine should be terminated as a crime against society (sp?).

Bwahaha.. :nyaanyaa:

Awww.. Maybe the guy didnt want to send his mechanics children through university with the cost of keeping that wankel running? :thumbsup:

Whoops - I just bought another car......

I am a Nissan owner again ! YAY.

Don't get too excited - It's another project..... ha ha ha ha

Pretty much stock CA20 with headers and zorst. Manual 5 speed

Got it off e-bay for $1500 ha ha - never even inspected it - what a crack ! This should be good.

Plans

--------

CA18DET conversion is the first thing.

Lock the Diff

See where we go from there.

Yeah - but this is different - it's a Nissan :(

And this one has rego and is not a ex rally car like the laser was (impossible to get registered)

One drifter coming up :mellow:

Ha ha

YES, I am a glutton for punishment - but I love it.

Even though the laser project failed, I had fun with it !

Hmmm - there's a CA18DET on e-bay for $400 - 69,000 kms....... NO NO NO Don't do it !

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
