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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
