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!

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
