ca wouldn't even heat up a kettle :)

but srsly, CA in a keto would be fun, gotta look after the engine tho. 90% of CA's are old and thrashed, no wonder they dont last. If you think about the pre 91 silvias with CA's, that was 18-19 years ago, thats old in engine years.

all aboard the failboat.

yep not wrong on that one damo

if i remember correctly he made 185 on the boostworx dyno

not a bad power to weight ratio on that beast

That was 185 kw with a 10mm hole in the intercooler piping where a blanking plug came lose and fell out. That won't be happening again, now with added loc-tight.

What's with all the CA haters here, anyone would think it's a skyline forum. The only problem with CA's is that a lot of them have had a hard life and they haven't been well maintained, If you get one that's been treated with respect they make a good RELIABLE little power house. Have a look at the graph below, that's on a standard bottom end.

Here's the new graph from a couple weeks ago on a 36 degree day, and that's after i lost 10kw by going back to the factory manifold which we gained back by 1 more psi in boost, also gained 400 RPM in response with the factory manifold;

such a nice and smooth curve and the power is coming nice and early as well

ahh now i know why you only made 185 on that day....would have liked to see this figure there

so am i reading it right Dale....your actually loosing 400rpm in response by using aftermarket manifolds?

I knew something wasn't right in the day because it was sssooooo rich, if you remember the exhaust manifold was also cracked at the turbo flange, when i took the turbo and manifold off it all made sense when i saw the 10mm plug had falled out of the compressor outlet.

Yep was getting full boost just over 4000 before but now it's more like 3700-3800 rpm, but at the cost of kw. Was making 216kw with the old manifold but with the factory manifold it was making 203kw, with some more tuning and the extra psi or so we got it back to around the same figure as the old manifold.

Earlier power = Torque so would have gained a few Nm in torque, but i don't have a graph with that on it.

yeh damo ca in a keto would be a handfull!

CA's don't even need oil :)

Have had nothing but bad experiences with CA's (spun bearings, lack of women throwing themselves at the car when I drove past, etc).

But seriously, if you're going CA... just do yourself a favour and get a RB20!

Use the CA for a paper weight or something.

its ok i thought about rb20 in the keto lol..

but just abit too much work.. and would be way insane!!

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
