Heheh yeh :D

The fwd ca-18s are almost impossible to find and even then u cant guarentee that it will be in any good condition and there is nothing worse than swaping the engine cause u can save 500 bucks then realising the new engine is almost as bad as the one u took out.

If i rebuild it at least i get a 12months guarentee and know thats its in good order. So its worth the extra in the end.

got bowfinger on video yeah its a funny one when your feeling brain dead - nah i watched gone in 60secs - yeah i know acting is crap storyline is crap but must admit its better storyline than FnF but oooh the cars

shaun: yeh fair enough. most wreckers give a xx month guarentee on their engines as well though... i went through this process when my engine fried and ended up goin for a 2nd hand engine cos theyre so cheap, and its lasted me since (apart from the screwdriver incident)

paul; there wont be any drifitng for a while, dont worry

Booster, Your right, the ca18 is an old engine, most transplant won't be in great condition.

Niz, He popped down to Wanneroo yesterday, so I had a quick chat with him. I think his Mrs gets pissed if he spends too much of his free time doing car stuff.

See'ya:burnout:

Niz,

I love the cars in both movies, I have them both on DVD, they can never be watched too often:D

Can't wait for FnF2, that will suck, but I love cars:D The acting can't be as bad as High Octance 2, those kiwi's piss me off.

See'ya:burnout:

Yeh alot of wreckers will give a warranty but no wreckers over here have the engine. i found 1 engine with a siezed turbo and it was a rwd. Even if i could get it in which is doubtfull (according to some sources) i would need a new computer or even remap the current ecu for around $500 which is more money again. I think ive done enuff research to come up with a good result form reasonable money.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
