skybarge Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 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 ) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/179675-b-man-has-done-it-again/page/4/#findComment-3281385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/179675-b-man-has-done-it-again/page/4/#findComment-3281395 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANWHORE Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) 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 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 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.
