I've bought a 180SX & the turbo is fried (oil line blocked, lack of service, etc?) so in replacing the Turbo I'm worried about spending the $$ on a replacement Turbo unit if the rest of the engine (161Klm's) is on the way out. I've got the old Turbo off (2.2hours its cactus, like my fingers) and would like to know if Attessa Bluebird CA18DET Turbo or indeed a Pulsar CA18DET would bolt straight on - or another mebee?

Would be a shame to do all the work and then have to go and buy an engine & turbo all over again.

Engine ran coming home but rattled like something else (turbo shaft 8-10mm sideplay-wow!!) but was smooth with no boost and tons of whitish/blueish smoke.

http://www.ca18det.net states;

CA18DET was used in the following vehicles:

• 1987-1988 Silvia S12RS-X

• 1989-1990 Nissan Silvia/180SX S13 (International market) . . . this is mine

• 1987-1989 Nissan Bluebird RNU12 SSS ATTESA Limited (Japanese Market) - I've been offered for AUD $150-

• 1989-1993 Nissan 200SX S13-U Europe.

• 1985-1990 Nissan Auster "1.8Xtt" and "Euroform Twincam Turbo"

If you've got some knowledge or a CA18DET Turbo I'd be most happy if you SMS me and I'll ring you back Dave Mob 0400 343301

thanks guys & gals

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.

      But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.

      Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..

      Uniclutch install vid, RB Track edition.   Highlight reel is very drive able, not noisy but still heavy with the clutch master he has.
