lol i wouldnt buy a sr20/ca18 deT if my life depended on it let alone a DE

but you happily own cars that have essentially the same engine as a CA18 with two extra cylinders? Keep in mind things like injectors/coilpacks etc all swap over between the two.

What's wrong with SR20DETs? Pretty much the equivalent to my 3S-GTE and I love it :)

cept SR's are alloy, where 3S's are cast iron and didn't have any sort of variable timing other than in the dying years or special BEAMS engines?

CA16?

oops, yeah that.

Lol if Shan approves it must be all sweet. Only downside is auto but it's clean and I don't mind

I'm asking for 1k my way too. Guys keen

FFS, look retard, why do you keep leaving out all the shit details that ruin a car?

It's like sayin you hooked up with this chick that had mad headjob skills on a wild night out in your first post...

Then 5 posts later we find out she was blind in both eyes, sported a gunt, had one boob, and was your mother.

Meh, I've never known a standard condition (not rebuilt) CA that's been reliable.

had a standard CA18DET in my AE86 and in the Sky80. Both ran fine with regular maintenance. Maybe it's the muppets you know who own the cars that can't take care of them? Hell the one that I put in the AE86 had over 200,000k's on it.

Ouch. That would be based on your age and the amount you're wanting to insure the car for. I have 3 cars (total insured value of slightly more) an I pay ~$800 per year less (I'm a couple of years older.)

different with a turbo

The CA18DE is a 1.8 L DOHC 16v (1809 cc) engine produced from 1987 through 1989. It produces 1310 hp (980 kW) @6400 rpm and 1590 N·m (1170 ft·lbf) @5200 rpm.

epic

seriously though

im on my p's this is a nanny state

if i so much as put my toe down if im next to another p plater and theres a cop around, i will get REAMED

so really, the idea of slow car till off p's has finally sunken in.

thanks for the insight ladies and gents

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
