if any one was interested it is owned by a guy called Juneor Galindo i think he lives in the states ill give you guys the site i got the pic of it has a lot of other datsuns on it as well http://fiveoneoh.com/sr/sr.htm

I'm sure he has a fun time keeping the brake master cylinder cooled down enough to not boil the brake fluid. fashion before function. gotta love it.

I would kill someone if they messed with my Datsun, I don't even let anyone else drive it but my dad! I don't have to worry about theft here in Japan, but when I get back to the States, if I'm not living on a military base, my house will have a 2+ car garage with a 1200 inside under lock and key 24/7! Yeah it looks like this dudes brake fluid is gonna heat up quick! Header wrap is a must in 1200's, my car stops awesome when I first start it up, but gets spongy once it warms up.

Does anyone know if the stock SR20DET exh. manifold/turbo will clear everything in a LHD (US) 1200???

Yeah I remember reading about his project long ago, but it was deleted before I ever thought about doing the SR20DET. I thought he was just doing it to get more power/better flow. The reason he sold it though was he renewed his interest in his already built VG30DE 510, undertaking the project of putting the twin turbo Z engine in it which he found out upon startup the engine was no good (should've stuck with the SR20DET 1200!!!!!). Well I'll find out sometime anyway. OKBYE

Quote:Yeah, that was his excuse, but the real reason was he got in over his head. I mean comeon, you don't invest thousands and tons of hype to suddenly drop a project like that. Believe me. I'd love to see it done on a LHD car, but justt don't give up midterm like he did.

i can't believe this pic keeps turning up for me via google keyword search. i just had to comment

I guess a lot of people want to see a picture of a mighty Nissan CA18DET engine.

Too bad this isn't one.

Here's some:
DATNATS 2dr sedan
red ute with CA18DET
Mighty Nissan CA18DET engine

You HIT on the IRONY d.

Im 99.9% sure the engine is an SR20 not a CA18.
the different rocker cover and the lack of of a crank angle sensor run off the exhaust cam out the front gives it away.

soory i thought it was a ca18det he must hav painted it simeler coulors or they just came in that coulor

pretty shure its a SR20 as it has quad throttlebodies

That engine bay is owned by a fella called Mario from SoCal UFO. I met him in 1999. He's an absolute NUT!! But also a really nice bloke.

Definitely an SR20 DET, if you look carefully to the right. The throttle body fits on the end of the plenum...no quad throttle bodies, therefore not GTiR. The plenum looks a bit strange, it's a Trust Item, and not real cheap!

His car was stolen from out the front of his workshop in LA back in August, I don't know if it was returned.

Oops posted in wrong thread.

Thats a sr20det isint it??
Looks cool any way

sooory i dont no much about the ca18det and the simeler motors that is why i asked

SR20DET with Greddy intake manifold...as stated earlier.

I agree. Looks like the brake fluid is gonna boil.

That is indeed an SR20. You can tell an SR by its curvy rocker cover. The CA18 looks more like a classic twin-cam 4 banger, very square, usually with a finned cam cover (CA's dont use rocker arms!)
This is a CA18 in a 1200

Quote:You mean Marcos, not Mario. Marcos owned a side business importing JDM engines, note how clean the motor is, the pick of the litter. But Mario had a bluish 510 with sr20det and plenty of anodized bits. (His car was stolen in front of his shop and completely stripped, but he recovered the shell and bought a few of the stolen parts back.) Marcos bought a maroon s13 and sold his green 510 to a relative. I don't know the relative's naame, but I don't think it is Juneor Gallindo, who owns this turquoise 510 with and s14 motor.
