ca18 180's never came in n/a... i had one...

you'll most probably lose to a ca18det, due to it being lighter and exactly like an rb20det only with 2 cylinders and .2L less.

If you want to race things and win, the gts is not the car to use. If you'd like to drive around in style and comfort the gts is quite good.

On the other hand...

Nitrous oxide is the easiest way forward (no not a pun). Your engine with the right setup will live with up to a 150HP shot. You will need a larger fuel pump and a set of colder heat range plugs.You will have change from $2k though not much if you don't do most of the work. I put a kit together quite some time ago on a pretty stock GTST from second hand parts I bought around the traps. The same kit plus other bits is now on 2rismo's car and he is into 11's with a little less gas than I was running. A free flowing exhaust is a good start before undertaking the nitrous kit. Oh and the nitrous kit is illegal to run on the street in WA but, fine for the drags. Removing the bottle is very easy to manage for driving around town.

    • As long as its NOT a HyperSHITtune, youll be fine.
    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
    • Wanted to follow up on this. Did you end up getting the M073? Still deciding on what to get between nismo m073-79 and plazaman.  
    • I was just watching these boys up in QLD AWD'ing their S13 too.
