thinking about putting a ca18 non turbo in my skyline. do you think it would be a good conversion? i also want it to be 4wd. just wondering if i could get an adapter plate to use an rb26 box with it.

any info appreciated

Well, the gearbox shouldn't be a problem. The sump will have to be reduced in length due to the swap from 6 cylinder to 4 cylinder. It's easy if you lock the transfer to make it constant 4wd. If you want to retain the ATTESSA system, it will be quite expensive. I would say buy a VL and be done with it

hmmm its going to be a hard choice which direction to go with. but for the type of performance i want from the car it seems the only way to go.

also what kind of head work will i need to carry out in order for the 1.8 to spool a gt42 to full boost by 3500 rpm. i want maximum hp with minimal lag

3500 hmm, dunno about that but the boys at EFI put a GT42R on a CA and it made 46psi by about 5500 and 52psi at about 5600rpm.

It only made 516rwhp but it had an unopened non turbo bottem end so they didn't want to push it too hard

y not ditch the 4wd system all together and go wild..rig it up with fwd, ur 600hp ca monster will be a street weapon

i could go completely different and run it to the front drivers side wheel and the rear passenger side wheel for even diagonal distribution to front and rear

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
