anyone here know the performance differnece between a CA18DET and a SR20DET...

i will probably settle with the CA18DET but i would like the SR

lol, this is funny, i spent $350 to get the car and i am gonna chuck an engine that will cost 1000.... o_0

ok, been thinkin i wanna find out some prices for a CA18DET and a Sr20DET

anyone know where i can get these and what for?

k, well ive been readin up a bit more on tha 120Y and i have heard from a few people that the body roll is pretty bad,... would new suspension and lowered fix that?

anyone know a good free website to use so i can make a website for my datsun project, and a place to put my pics, (i wanna take heaps of photos for other new people like me)

dam you Team_Dat i want a coupe soo much more than a 4dr sedan

i wouldnt mind getting a ute and doin that aswell (hint hint to anyone wanting to sell one)

hey NIS15L whats the CA18 goin into... if it is in already hows the performance

yea the avatar is called creepy avatar got it few months ago.....

and yea i was hoping to get a twin of someone, if not i will do it myself

hey guys,

well to start of this is my first datsun ive owned soo any help at all would be good, ie: parts suppliers near brissie and other useful people..

well this is the first car i have owned.

anyway to the details, it is a Datsun 120Y 4 Door Sedan, A12 engine, 4 speed auto, good interior, no major dints, having the small ones takin out before i get it...

engine is in sweet condition, runs smooth as a baby's bottom, no smoke, starts first go, tyres are stock, same as everything else....

in my course of this project gonna strip it down, get a paint job, new tyres, wanna get a CA18DETT engine but probably cant afford it now

(anyone know price for an alright CA18DETT or DET)

maybe a sunny 5 speed manual, (any suggestions here for others) gonna get a new diff, dunno what yet, thinking a 4.1 ratio but we will have to see.

umm, gonna try and get so9me body kit parts if i can find any...

and just make it live up to the datsun reputation

i will take lots of photos once i get it on tuesday 4th

Prices i paid to get it: all in $AU
car it self was $350
$70 for 4 near new tyres (spares)
$35 for a battery
$123 for the rear left brake as the cyclinder had exploded o_0 and the line was ####ed

$80 for a road-worthy
$around 350 for rego

gonna get it on the road as i hate drivin my mums car to TAFE >_< but i will be doing as much work as i can while still leaving it running for work an tafe

most of the major work will be done on the holidays soo i wanna get it all lined up to keep me busy...



P.S. if i can get a hold of a CA18 does any one know a good company or person in Brissie to install Methanol Injection into it, i have most of the parts and Methanol... its coming out of my dads VL
