Front-cuts

[syfon]

Greetings all,

As above, I'm after a 180sx/Silvia front-cut with a CA18DET and g/box.

I'm going to be putting the CA18+box in my Suzuki Sierra.

Who in Perth sells front cuts with CA18's? I know SR20's are dime a dozen, but the SR's are too expensive and I'd much rather a CA18 due to the price and many other factors.

I just want a dead stock CA180+box with reasonable KM's.

Any info is always appreciated.

Cheers,

Jace.

Talk to KYP, they will import it for you if they don't already have in stock

Can't start a new thread on SilviaWA, don't have enough posts.

I'll get one going though....

Martin - I looked around for a half-cut at KYP and it will be around $1500.....so I'm beginning to think it might be a lot cheaper to just buy the motor+box itself.

Probably would be, except if you buy a half cut you can at least make some money back parting out what you don't use. And it means you get everything, you don't have to try to source those hard to find little parts

That's true. But all i'll really need is the engine, computer, ancillary equiptment and gearbox. A custom tail-shaft from the box-->diff & box-->transfer case will be made, along with custom x-member and some other shit.

Ill still look around but not sure if i'll have the room at my friends workshop to put a halfcut......and then there is the time+work of taking the motor+box out and other futzing around.

I'll keep looking.

In the meantime, if anyone knows someone selling a CA18DET with gearbox, computer etc, stock or very close to stock and reasonably low km's; let me know

I have a mate that will changing his CA out of his S13 in a couple of months. I'll let him know your on the lookout and get him to give you a message over here.

skyzthalimit, or something like that had one he wanted 600 for I think. I was going to buy it but then realised that havine 2 cars and four engines was a bit silly. PM me if you want me to dig out his username and phone number.

Have done some research and have found it is going to be wayyyyyyy too difficult to do the CA18DET transplant to the suzuki....A LOT of custom fabrication work involved, and have to re-locate the transfer case due to the size of the CA gearbox.

No longer need a half cut as I'm going the way of a Swift GTI motor and turbo-charing that.

Mods please close thread and thanks for everyones input/help.
