yes 2 litre is SR20 and 1.8 litre is CA18. the power figures im not too sure prolly around the vicinity of 120 odd KW at the flywheel, prolly 80-90 at the wheels. do it up just the exhaust and filter upgrade, u want sum serious power sum internals, or else forced induction!

there was a write up in a fairly recent hpi magazine of someone who had done adbsolutely everything to his CA18DE, cams and extractors were the most worthwhile. i think he still only made 87 rwkw though. i think 1991 is the changeover year ie where they changed from CA18 to SR20. i researched silvias a fair bit a while back because i was going to get one but i realised a skyline is better :O

That article in HPI, the guy had a later model 180sx with an SR20DE with VVT if i recall correctley.

They didnt make much power from that engine at all, they almost went backwards when they added the first set of extractors (lost a fair bit of mid range)

Ok I've got that article from HPI in front of me.

Cat back exhaust - gain nothing

Custom 4-2-1 extractors - lost power "massive midrange hole in the power curve"

Custom 4-1 extractors - gained a little "lost a couple of top end kw, restored midrange punch"

ARC intake pipe - gained nothing "aim to change inlet volume to change the resonant frequency of the whole system, and cause either an earlier or later peak that increases power" sound interseting i think.

HKS 256 step 1 camshafts with timing gears and apexi safc -"remarkable gains" "88kw was the final figure, up from the initial 74 kw"

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
