On regards to the CA18DET swap, is apart from the engine does anything else have to be swapped and are the brakes adequate? I have been thinking bout doing it to mine for some time. with my wagon and its manual too

Though an SR20 would be better, would that be easy to do aswell?

and congrats on the car amanda

im guessing there would be a few other things that need to be swapped.. i know if you use the pintara crossmember the

CA18 with sit in the middle of the engine bay just like the CA20.. people use S13 crossmembers to get the engine to

sit closer to the firewall, but im not sure if you need to move shit back to do that.

the brakes.. im not a fan of the brakes on the pinny's or the skylines as the front brakes are actually smaller than the

rear which is stupid. so i would upgrade them anyway.

if its a CA18DET im sure you should upgrade the fuel pump... cant really think about anything else atm.. im still going

through swap threads on the r31 club site

i rekon SR20 would be the same if not close to the same swap as the ca18

incase i land on my brother hotels haha

im with KISIN.. more pics plz!

[KISIN]

plz more pics/details on the wheels

[R31 drift pig]

Custom made ROH wheels, 4 x 114.3, 18 x 9 +/- 0, and 18 x 10 +5, sold them yesterday arvo, for the only wheels I would ever trade them for...

Work VS-KF's.

Getting 18 x 9 +13 and 18 x 11+20, but will sit in exactly the same spot.. Will be running a 20mm bolt on on the front though.

Oh, and converting to 5 stud.

[ANGRYMANR33]

cant wait to see them on car there gunna look killa

[R31 drift pig]

You're gonna be waiting for a while... were sold pending payment before I even got onto them, But was listed as still available. They may still be available, waiting to hear ATM

Have a few other sets Im seriously looking at...

Weds Kranze18x9-4, 18x10-4, 5/114.3

Work VS-XX, 18x9+39, 18x10+38, 5/114.3. (but will need 35mm bolt ons all round to sit right, not really what I want)

Or really raising the bar/hardening the bollocks up... and opening up my wallet for these..

Nismo LM-GT4's, 18 x 9.5 +12 and 18 x 10.5 +15....

$3300 delivered from japan brand spankers. Would buy used, But they're GTR offset, and all the gtrs dont run staggered. so new it is. Even in Japan they're still $2000 - $2500...

Already have a replacement set ordered for the 31 now, will be on the car next week, Koya Drifteks powdercoated silver, 17 x 9 and 17 x 9.5, but they'll be rims I use for skidding. I wont munt irreplacable or horribly expensive wheels LOL....

Oh, and getting my superlights for the KE70 next week LOL, 15 x 8 -4...

as for the pinny, I would actually look at a SR20 DE conversion. SR will bolt onto the CA crossmember or you can mod a S13 X-Member to bolt in, and you can get you a DE engine package (engine/loom/box/clutch/ecu) for about $800...... get it in and get it running, with extractors, exhaust, pod/CAI and tuning, make 100kw's at the treads. Wont stress the diff at all, Be a lot lower k's than a CA, great weight balance, lots of aftermarket support, and can be turboed later on.......

Brakes are easy enough. Either go Import Front end, or go one further and get S13 front setup with coilovers. Then go one further again and go to 4 pot caliper setup.

And as for wheels/body..... Is the paint is decent enough on the pinny? If it is, S3 skyline from and rear and's can be had cheap, as well as S2 import front and rears. Wheels? You can hook up some pretty decent offsets and widths if you look hard enough and are prepared to do some work. Always makes the car look 100% better. If you want a hand with anything, Dont hesitate to ask.

CA20's arent that bad, im not sure if it is because mine was rebuilt a few years ago or not, but it still has abit of poke through the hills.... sure it doesnt quite keep up with my DR but still....

After a cruise last night through the hills, I bollocksed off any thought of a CA18DET or SR20DET conversion as its not worth the money

Whats a good low budget brake + suspension upgrade for a Pinny?...... Also with power steering mine doesnt have it, is that something straight forward to do or does that require a different steering rack??

The R31 site doesnt seem to be working

[R31 drift pig]

Need R31 Skiline P/S rack. also need to put the pump on, but wont fit the CA20, as they never came out with P/S. Maybe stick a RB30 in? They're cheap as chips, and bolt in on all the standard skyline shit. By that point, might as well keep the pintara stock and go buy a skyline.

[benny_blanco]

yeah it would be much cheaper and more convenient to do that, as R31's cost a pittance now. But i'm attached to the Pinny as much as i am to my DR

are the skyline brakes any better then the pintara's? might just try to find some really stiff lowered springs for it to help improve the handling abit more.

[GTR-32]

Those nismo rims ahhhhh i want lol Think their the rims I've been looking at getting before autosalon... $3000 from Japan? I can budget for that lol

I would, but I sold my R31 wheels this arvo. And if by donate you man give $2500 for them... yeah sure

Im off to cry now. I miss my wheels.

That pic looks wicked, why'd you sell those rims, car looks mad with them..

Also good work on the car Amanda.. I'd go SR20 for abit more get up and go, but a decent CA18 with do the job.

[Madaz]

fuel pump is from a NA rb25de (hence no T)

[pokie]

so do you reckon it would fit into a pintara?? coz i got an R31 fuel pump

and it was a little too big for it
