i had a nissan urvan with a 5 litre ford on nitrous ....not nice in the wet.....but scared the sh** out of everyone (including me) at the lights....it ended up up near tamworth

When i was younger and sillier i put a 454 chev into a HR holden.

And before that a 250Cube Falcon 6 in a Morris Minor

Put a 350 chev in a 240 Z.....and also a 350 into an XJ6 Jag

Just finished and SR20 in a rodeo

Can't help my self......What i would like to do is put a 13b in a Morris minor...any takers

A vg30 in an EH holden would be nice too

seen a white mk1 escort, with a 378 cube clevo in it.

also, i nearly bought a white hi-ace van a few months ago, with a 302 in it.

on the fantasy front, i think a ovlov 240 with the entire running gear from a gtr would be amusing.

guy aroung my area, name is SOUTHO on these forums i think, has a old cressida with a 1JZ in it. but unlike other modded cressidas this one looks totally stock even with a stock exhaust. now thats a sleeper

Southo has a 2J not a 1J, and the exaust isn't stock, just well thought out :D

I have a 1978 TE Cortina with a 1JZGTE, GT30/40, Haltech and a locker :) .

I got the cooler to fit behind the stock grille and sprayed it black and all piping/siclone clamps. The exhaust is 3 inch turbo back but with a massive rear muffler and sounds just like a 4cyl below 2500rpm.

The brakes are covered up with Ford AU 5 stud persuit rims, all my gauges are concealed (boost gauge in air-con vent temp gauges below dash on brackets).

The only thing that gives it away slightly are the bonnet pins (needed because lots of structual material/bonnet catch taken out to fit cooler) and my 09ONE plates.

There has been manya upset Clubsport/XR8 Owner and maybe a Porsche 993(?) owner as well. Most turbo imports don't take too badly to getting beaten and are pretty interested in the car.

It just so happens it's for sale as well... :)

One of the guys at work has a Mitsu Mirage with 3L V6 Mivec engine in it from a FTO. Engine's mildly worked etc and it goes like a scalded cat !! ( I don't like front wheel drives though ).

Also, there's a guy driving around Sydney in a Jaffa Orange Volvo 240GL wagon that has the drive train from an R33 GTS-T fitted to it. It's not a weapon but has HUGE potential to be one !!

Actually, there are also 2 Volvo wagons running around Syd with 308 stroker's in them ( one light and one dark blue ). I got raced by the light blue one a couple of years ago and it caught me way off gaurd !!!

FTO's engine is a 2.0L V6 Mivec. I considering doing this conversion to a Mirage. 150kw in a 900kg car would make it pretty quick.

2JZ-GTE into a EH Panel Van is a sleeper conversion. There is one in Newcastle.

My buddy has got a Mirage with the 1.6L Mivec motor in it and all the running gear out of the zMirgae's they used to race in the Mirage Cup. It was putting out 148kw on the front wheels, scary torque steer!!!!

Yeah, the Mirage Cyborg-Rs were a decent hot hatch. They were set up to be a Civic Type-R competitor, back in the day....

What about a VR4?

All wheel drive

Turbo

Very plain looking!

Take off the rear spoiler/badges and you got an old lancer like "thing"!

When the engine or driveline go's bang drop in evo replacements.

Heaps of potential! But cheep!

    • Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?
    • OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.
    • Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset. 
    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update
