Paradis v.1

Anyone?

Kind of a bizarro question but does anyone know if the CA18 or any similar nissan transmission has a mechanical speed sensory that would FIT in an SR (s14) tranny? My HCR32 has an SR20 in it, and of HCR has a mechanical sensor that is too long/doesn't jive fitting into the SR to replace the digital stock one. I'm stuck until i figure out a replacement as I'd prefer not going down the - modifying the cluster - route thanks

You bet. I'd prefer not to have to switch out clusters and such if i can.

I started a topic on this before i remembered my old thread... what did you guys do about the connections with your old HCR (maybe cefs too) speedometer with the SR tranny issue?

I'm wondering for those that dabbled in SRs on your r32-HCRs - what you did about the speedometer issue. I know that's kind of vague, but those who did this swap will know what i'm talking about (using the SR tranny)

Hey there, No I'm not on secretdrift, link me to the thread if you could please! As for where I'm at, we had a few gremlins in the electrical system and needed a different trigger wheel, took us a month to get it all cleaned up. It drove for the first time last weekend. Doing the full tune later this week i hope.

ya thats the thing though, they tested out ok, resistance was fine, but when i put some splitfires in there, it was night and day. if you got a friend with new ones, try it out if the mechanic doesn't clean up the problem.

Ya i dunno. the FDs, and Supra mrk IVs were all here, but just never had a big marketing push or support scene. It was always Mustangs and 'vettes. Disgusting really.. That said, i'm glad in Canada we atleast have the 15 year rule, so skylines, silvias etc have been pretty steady for 5-6 years now. In some ways it worked against us though too. Population of young aspiring tuners and road warriors suddenly having access to affordable turbocharged vehicles (modded I might add) = lots of problems on the roads and accidents... getting the attention of lot of government regulatory offices.

Cool, still think it could be your coilpacks failing. Thats the hey mine were like. on and off on the top end.

I dunno know yet Ya its disgusting how much room there is, and how much weight i think i just shed.

Believe it or not, losing that straight six sound was the point i struggled with the most.. I loved my RB. But at the end of the day, I had taken that stock motor as far as it could go. I had done everything around the engine possible including using the ViPec and hiflo to run 300whp for the last couple years, but it's always felt like a thrown together mess of parts. I was either going to upgrade to a GTR this year, or build an engine. Opportunity knocked with friend who was parting with his b.crower built 2.2 with gt35. only has 300kms on it. couldn't resist getting 500+whp. Heh, true. But you're right. There's alot of advantages, less weight (+my block is even lighter than a stock one), sits sooo much farther back (weight distr), and there's just a better history of knowledge and support on the SR, being that RB20s faded behind the 25 fast after 93 (though in canada they're still everywhere since we have the 15 year law) mods list needed (for me anyway) need the crossmember (tried modifying the engine mounts on the old one, didn't work) drive shaft needs to modified transmission mount needs to be modified (this was easy) and depending on the manifold you're using, i had to grab a different slave cylinder that was shorter (engine sat too close to the firewall). Used one off a Sunny GTi-R that was lying around. Guess you probably need a throttle cable too, though i already had one i was using for a monstrous plenum i had built. -Cheers, Chris

Yup, no 240sx came out with a turbocharged engine, no SRs, CA18s, or anything else besides the KA series. Bringing in SR20s to swap in was probably the snowball that propelled the american tuner scene (yuck, can't even say that). 240s didn't see the s15 chassis either.

I'm just about finished putting a built 2.2L SR into my HCR32. I did a search and couldn't narrow down any results. Is there any other members who've done this, project threads or anything like that?

Maybe i missed something but this sounds like textbook coil failure. Time to replace the old OEM ones?
