I have to say, these are a surprisingly good car.

I've never heard of a different length CA18DET gearbox?

Hi guys

Have a tailshaft to suit a CA18DET into 120Y. Happy to provide a picture but honestly.. it looks like a tailshaft. And it will bolt into a 120Y with a CA18DET.

This makes your conversion much easier/cheaper, something else to tick off before you even start! This was only removed from my car, due to an upgrade to a bigger diff, so obviously the tailshaft no longer fit. Was in good working order, and was professionally made up & balanced. Did the trick with over 250rwhp.

Asking price $160. Pickup only or I can probably deliver in greater brisbane for $20 fuel money.

This is to suit the bigger/later 120Y borg warner diff not the early datsun style one.

Surely u lerned more dan dat when your at school?

More than anything, it comes down to what you want from the car... is it a weekend-only toy, your daily transport/only car, or what?

Personally, I think a lightly-modified car is the way to go. Plenty of people (myself included) get carried away and end up with money-pits they they never drive. Instead, there's a lot to be said for a retrimmed interior, tidy paint, and a basic performance upgrade - eg simple brake upgrade, some suspension improvements, and a change from an a12 to a standard a15.

i'm building another car at the moment and deliberately buying a turbo that's "too small" so that I can enjoy the car more. otherwise you end up replacing diffs, tailshafts, injectors, etc etc etc.

if you must do a late model engine swap, consider something you can get in and running with a small or standard turbo, the standard ecu, etc. after years of playing cars, 200hp is more than enough in a small car - you are better off making the most of what you've got.

instead of spending money getting more lag, spend money on brakes, suspension, etc & use your 200hp wisely!

money spent onm a half-decent mig & using gas will translate into much better results

I deal with Greg @ GSL also. Great service.

He has the range of QFM pads available too & they get rave reviews.
