Yeah nice,

Haha!! Yeah I will keep my injectors thanks.

See how you got with the DE+T conversion then upgrade later to the RB25DET.

Well make sure to post pics of your progress!

I too want to have a drift car one day. It's just money and trucking it down to the track and owning a GTR cost you anyway LOL!

I did find a R32 GTS-T for about $3500. Its a wreck, but the owner said everything is working mechanically.

What he meant by wreck is, it's just the bits and pieces need to be put back in. (As in Interior things, like seats, carpet, air vents, gear knob, trimmings but the rest seems fine and needs a good clean up thats all).

No biggy... I probley rip half the stuff out anyway.

Cheap and free parts ehy... +1 for you then!

As I probably end up searching on wreckers, forums and asking others.

Cool!

jamie if you want a el cheapo drift car $500 ke70 try slide that thing if not add a extra $500 get your self a ca like mine and supercharge it

did u want a track only car or want to drive it on the street aswell

check the ns forums theres heaps of rolling shells and ex drift cars being sold

LOL!

You know what the crazy thing is..?

I use to have a KE70 but sold it to fund the GTR.

Untill I saw Adam who is a member on SAU and he cruised out with his KE70. He lowered it, flared the guards and put wider wheels on and put in a 4AGE engine in and I was like FAACCKK! That looks cool.

Finally I realised how good the KE70 is and I so want one back!

Yeah most probably a track car as I don't wanna fork out for 2 regos and insurances.

Yeah I have been looking around NS but not signed up.

Who knows, I might get another KE70 and have it as a daily and GTR for weekends as insurance will not be much on the KE70.

Or yeah a S13 or S15 (Cost more) would be nice I keep looking around NS.

CA18DET and SR20DET both good yeah..? Much difference between the two except ones a 1.8lt and the other is a 2lt...

Thanks man!

everyone is gonna tell you to get a sr

think of it like this the ca is a 4cyl rb lol

parts and power are easy to get out of a sr but your gonna be just like every other tom dick and harry

im a random and want to be different, thats why ive done the onevia conversion and gone a spastic backyard spray can paint job

on ns all the sr owners will say CA stands for Crap As or Cheap As(we dont take offence to that one lol coz you can buy a motor from a slab of beer to $1000)

the ca owners wll say SR stands for Shit Revs only go up to 7,000 befor something goes bang and the ca will rev for another 1000+rpm or so

and ca owners will say its a proper nissan engine lol

but wat ever u get its gonna be cheap because na's are in demand so turbos are cheap as, are ther are heaps of track only cars or buy a shell strip it of wat u dont need and put in the bare essentials

also forgot to ask does anyone have a spare gtr fuel pump they wana give me for free or mates rates discount :stupid:

Yeah right, so CA is stronger then SR?

I'll keep looking around as something will pop up LOL!

Your right, as the longer I wait the cheaper they probably get yeah...

BTW if you are planning to do a bolt on turbo conversion for you N/A CA18, won't you need to strengthen your internals of the engine?

Or you running low boost?

Ask the President of SAU Ash (R31Nismoid) he's got a few GTR parts for sale.

See if you can do a bit of a deal with him.

He's a good guy but don't get offended if he sounds a bit blunt/rude in his post, it's just him.

But hey... If you ask him and get straight to the point he's cool.

as long as i keep it reasonable ( not goin more the 7psi)

and alot of guys do it, even some of the semi pros do it

after about 150kw im gonna need to look at upgrading internals

but 150kw is a long way away lol

Yeah right, I see... Awesome!

I spoke to b3za who is also on SAU and NS, he told me exactly what you said CA18 = RB26 minus 2 cylinders.

Me and dad went to Sandown on Sunday and we were talking about what car to strip out and track it and getting a S13 was on the list... Hehe!!

But we would drift it.

Let you know how I go later on.

Be sure to get some pics of your turbo upgrade.

You've been a good help about the CA18 engine.

Thanks!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
