On regards to the CA18DET swap, is apart from the engine does anything else have to be swapped and are the brakes adequate? I have been thinking bout doing it to mine for some time. with my wagon and its manual too :whistling:

Though an SR20 would be better, would that be easy to do aswell?

and congrats on the car amanda

^ I'm with stupid

:laughing-smiley-014:

So whats the timeline on this CA swap?

depends, when she gets a job.. i dont want to pay for it lol

Needs offsets. :thumbsup:

wanna donate? :D

I have an R31 GTS-X rear spoiler sitting in my shed collecting dust if u guys wanna make me an offer for it... was going to go on my R31 Exec S3 before it was written off

-D

Think i would get killed for putting one on her car.. she doesnt even know about this other one im trying to get lol.

congrats amanda!

ca18det and manual FTW!

good luck :)

she cant drive manual :)

otherwise it would be manual and i would have bought it..

she bought it for like.. $250

im guessing there would be a few other things that need to be swapped.. i know if you use the pintara crossmember the

CA18 with sit in the middle of the engine bay just like the CA20.. people use S13 crossmembers to get the engine to

sit closer to the firewall, but im not sure if you need to move shit back to do that.

the brakes.. im not a fan of the brakes on the pinny's or the skylines as the front brakes are actually smaller than the

rear which is stupid. so i would upgrade them anyway.

if its a CA18DET im sure you should upgrade the fuel pump... cant really think about anything else atm.. im still going

through swap threads on the r31 club site

i rekon SR20 would be the same if not close to the same swap as the ca18

Custom made ROH wheels, 4 x 114.3, 18 x 9 +/- 0, and 18 x 10 +5, sold them yesterday arvo, for the only wheels I would ever trade them for...

Work VS-KF's. :P:D:):worship::worship:

Getting 18 x 9 +13 and 18 x 11+20, but will sit in exactly the same spot.. Will be running a 20mm bolt on on the front though.

Oh, and converting to 5 stud.

You're gonna be waiting for a while... were sold pending payment before I even got onto them, But was listed as still available. They may still be available, waiting to hear ATM

Have a few other sets Im seriously looking at...

IMG_2811__Large_Small.jpg

Weds Kranze18x9-4, 18x10-4, 5/114.3

kline_tono_0218_img600x450_11590946.jpg

Work VS-XX, 18x9+39, 18x10+38, 5/114.3. (but will need 35mm bolt ons all round to sit right, not really what I want)

Or really raising the bar/hardening the bollocks up... and opening up my wallet for these..

Nismo LM-GT4's, 18 x 9.5 +12 and 18 x 10.5 +15....

nengun-1518-02-raysengineering-nismo_-_lm_gt4.jpg

$3300 delivered from japan brand spankers. Would buy used, But they're GTR offset, and all the gtrs dont run staggered. so new it is. Even in Japan they're still $2000 - $2500...

Already have a replacement set ordered for the 31 now, will be on the car next week, Koya Drifteks powdercoated silver, 17 x 9 and 17 x 9.5, but they'll be rims I use for skidding. I wont munt irreplacable or horribly expensive wheels LOL....

Oh, and getting my superlights for the KE70 next week LOL, 15 x 8 -4... :):(:):D

as for the pinny, I would actually look at a SR20 DE conversion. SR will bolt onto the CA crossmember or you can mod a S13 X-Member to bolt in, and you can get you a DE engine package (engine/loom/box/clutch/ecu) for about $800...... get it in and get it running, with extractors, exhaust, pod/CAI and tuning, make 100kw's at the treads. Wont stress the diff at all, Be a lot lower k's than a CA, great weight balance, lots of aftermarket support, and can be turboed later on.......

Brakes are easy enough. Either go Import Front end, or go one further and get S13 front setup with coilovers. Then go one further again and go to 4 pot caliper setup.

And as for wheels/body..... Is the paint is decent enough on the pinny? If it is, S3 skyline from and rear and's can be had cheap, as well as S2 import front and rears. Wheels? You can hook up some pretty decent offsets and widths if you look hard enough and are prepared to do some work. Always makes the car look 100% better. If you want a hand with anything, Dont hesitate to ask. :domokun:

CA20's arent that bad, im not sure if it is because mine was rebuilt a few years ago or not, but it still has abit of poke through the hills.... sure it doesnt quite keep up with my DR but still....

After a cruise last night through the hills, I bollocksed off any thought of a CA18DET or SR20DET conversion as its not worth the money :domokun:

Whats a good low budget brake + suspension upgrade for a Pinny?...... Also with power steering mine doesnt have it, is that something straight forward to do or does that require a different steering rack??

The R31 site doesnt seem to be working :)

Need R31 Skiline P/S rack. also need to put the pump on, but wont fit the CA20, as they never came out with P/S. Maybe stick a RB30 in? They're cheap as chips, and bolt in on all the standard skyline shit. By that point, might as well keep the pintara stock and go buy a skyline.

yeah it would be much cheaper and more convenient to do that, as R31's cost a pittance now. But i'm attached to the Pinny as much as i am to my DR :D

are the skyline brakes any better then the pintara's? might just try to find some really stiff lowered springs for it to help improve the handling abit more.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
