lol i wouldnt buy a sr20/ca18 deT if my life depended on it let alone a DE

but you happily own cars that have essentially the same engine as a CA18 with two extra cylinders? Keep in mind things like injectors/coilpacks etc all swap over between the two.

What's wrong with SR20DETs? Pretty much the equivalent to my 3S-GTE and I love it :)

cept SR's are alloy, where 3S's are cast iron and didn't have any sort of variable timing other than in the dying years or special BEAMS engines?

CA16?

oops, yeah that.

Lol if Shan approves it must be all sweet. Only downside is auto but it's clean and I don't mind

I'm asking for 1k my way too. Guys keen

FFS, look retard, why do you keep leaving out all the shit details that ruin a car?

It's like sayin you hooked up with this chick that had mad headjob skills on a wild night out in your first post...

Then 5 posts later we find out she was blind in both eyes, sported a gunt, had one boob, and was your mother.

Meh, I've never known a standard condition (not rebuilt) CA that's been reliable.

had a standard CA18DET in my AE86 and in the Sky80. Both ran fine with regular maintenance. Maybe it's the muppets you know who own the cars that can't take care of them? Hell the one that I put in the AE86 had over 200,000k's on it.

Ouch. That would be based on your age and the amount you're wanting to insure the car for. I have 3 cars (total insured value of slightly more) an I pay ~$800 per year less (I'm a couple of years older.)

different with a turbo

The CA18DE is a 1.8 L DOHC 16v (1809 cc) engine produced from 1987 through 1989. It produces 131 hp (98 kW) @6400 rpm and 159 N·m (117 ft·lbf) @5200 rpm.

    • Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍
    • lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.    
    • Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.
