Heheh yeh :D

The fwd ca-18s are almost impossible to find and even then u cant guarentee that it will be in any good condition and there is nothing worse than swaping the engine cause u can save 500 bucks then realising the new engine is almost as bad as the one u took out.

If i rebuild it at least i get a 12months guarentee and know thats its in good order. So its worth the extra in the end.

got bowfinger on video yeah its a funny one when your feeling brain dead - nah i watched gone in 60secs - yeah i know acting is crap storyline is crap but must admit its better storyline than FnF but oooh the cars

shaun: yeh fair enough. most wreckers give a xx month guarentee on their engines as well though... i went through this process when my engine fried and ended up goin for a 2nd hand engine cos theyre so cheap, and its lasted me since (apart from the screwdriver incident)

paul; there wont be any drifitng for a while, dont worry

Booster, Your right, the ca18 is an old engine, most transplant won't be in great condition.

Niz, He popped down to Wanneroo yesterday, so I had a quick chat with him. I think his Mrs gets pissed if he spends too much of his free time doing car stuff.

See'ya:burnout:

Niz,

I love the cars in both movies, I have them both on DVD, they can never be watched too often:D

Can't wait for FnF2, that will suck, but I love cars:D The acting can't be as bad as High Octance 2, those kiwi's piss me off.

See'ya:burnout:

Yeh alot of wreckers will give a warranty but no wreckers over here have the engine. i found 1 engine with a siezed turbo and it was a rwd. Even if i could get it in which is doubtfull (according to some sources) i would need a new computer or even remap the current ecu for around $500 which is more money again. I think ive done enuff research to come up with a good result form reasonable money.

    • Hey man,   By any chance you still have sunroof for sale ?   Thanks
    • Just chuck in an ECU, Injectors and a pair of direct fit low mount turbos, that should use to the top of your budget and give it a nice kick along. Also, don't do anything unless you don't need the car daily....if it does blow and you get another 10k bill just to get back to where it is now would you be able to come up with the cash or will it sit for 2 years like most GTRs....
    • Thank you 🙏 I'm patient, which is good, considering the limited budget (for now) more so trying to understand where to begin the journey and you and the others have been good with that, appreciate everyone for their input 🫡
    • $5-10k isn't much for reliability if your looking at more power for a RB Me, with that much money currently on hand,  I would only look at things to suit future mods, as stated, a fuel pump and ecu would be my first point of call, as well as getting the injectors cleaned and tested, maybe even replace all the coolant hoses After a little time with the tuner, they should be able to tell you how your car is running in relation to things like your ignition, cooling, and other stuff that will be picked up when it has had a few runs up on the dyno and some logs to look at Basically, get everything sorted for reliability before you start leaning on a 30 year old engine Good luck with the one and only true Godzilla, enjoy Note: for your birthday presents, ask your family and friends for lottery tickets, a 32 GTR can cost "all of the money" to make reliable power
