B-man Has Done It Again

[evil_weevil]

Nice work B-man!!!

the S12 will be a great, fun, chuckable car!

and bargain price too!

[skybarge]

nah man don't CA18 it, they are alright engines, but sound like diesel tractors when modded

20 or 25t it do it come on, make us proud

Glad to see you didn't go anywhere near an MX5....

The GTiR would've been cool, but no RWD switch(they are front biased )

[B-Man]

SR20DET requires too much fabrication same with RB2XDET - also needs new GB for SR or RB

the CA18DET bolts straight in to std engine mounts and Gearbox. And they are cheap.

If this one on e-bay goes for $600 ish then an 2nd hand ECU for I dunno $500 ish

Lock the diff and viola turbo dorifto for $2.5K

Pick it up tomorrow

You sick sick bastard..........

Gallopingzelle with a 26/30 torquemonster FTW

[Beer Baron]

we need to have a serious talk bman...

[MANWHORE]

ca18? you can almost get an rb20 for that price

edit: oops, didn't read your post

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

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 !

B-man Has Done It Again

You sure have..

I'm sorry but there is only one engine that belongs in that thar en-jin bay..

[Abo Bob]

How exactly did the laser fail? Did I miss that?

[d0p3y]

FJ20ET FTW!!

CA18DET is a good temporary solution though

I have a RB25det lying around if your interested B-man.

[2rismo]

Where the hell is that 'slaps forehead repeatedly with a brick' smilie?

[Majanal]

why, you need one adrian?

[B-Man]

I'd farken love to put a FJDET in it - but there are as scarce as chickens lips - and when you find one - expensive.

CA18DET you can get an engine, loom and ECU for under $1K

Other options are of course SR20DET - would need gearbox as well -

RB25DET would be good Maj - but tricky install with new mounts and so forth.

It's GREAT FUN to be in a manual again - I forgot how much fun they are I love revving the crap out of the CA20E.

Adam - the plans of grandeur for the Laser never worked out - it was just going to be too hard and not worth the $$ - so sold it for $2K with some new bits (bought it for 1K)

Issues so far:

LSD - you can't get one unless I convert the live rear end to IRS - which involves cutting off the whole rear cradle and welding a new one in.

Thought hard and long about locking the diff - but since it will be a daily - not really worth it, I don't think.

In terms of engine upgrade - I'm finding it hard to justify spending $$ on it since it was cheap - but I guess I will at some stage.

Brakes - to get 4 pots on the front - I need to swap to S13 front suspension - Axle stubs, Knuckles, LCA, Tension Rods etc. Would also need an SR master cylinder

Rear drum to disc conversion - simple matter of swapping for a B'Bird TRx S3 disc hubs etc - IF I COULD FIND THESE.

The body is fairly straight and rust free - so that is a bonus - it's a bit tatty - but in overall good condition for it's age.

My problem is that I am too damn impatient and want it to be a hella circuit drifta over the weekend - but in reality it's gonna take a while to source all the parts and do all the work.

[Majanal]

lol, not at all, just come to my garage, Shit everywhere!

[B-Man]

U offering me free engine and help to fab up engine and gearbox mounts Dan ? If so, BRING IT ON ha ha ha ha ha

[fatz]

just get a r31 its the ultimate fat kunts car!

[B-Man]

Farken - I reckon I should put a fully built RB26 in it - now that would be fun

[GTRgeoff]

You can do it!!!!!!

[Majanal]

LOL, no maybe not "free", but cheap is an option.
