hi all!! i am about half way through my ca18det into 1200 ute conversion. i have used the crossmember for the engine and box from maddat. i also bought a hydraulic clutch kit and brake cable from them. so far so good..
i havnt fitted the gearbox just yet but am ready to do so. i went with the skyline 5 speed stumpy as i was told that there is no mods needed at all to fit it into the original tunnel and the shifter also lines up with the hole. i beleive this bearbox would have to be the way to go. although you will be paying for a second box, you can sell the ca box and you will be saving time and money in the tunnel work.
i agree, thanks for the info. in addition to that i also have heard the the wastegate can foul the crossmember (depending if it is a kit or custom made). just another thing to think about. cheers
dose anybody know or has put a top mount manifold wit a t3 turbo in a datto 1200 ute??? i am considering buying one for my CA but am not sure if it will fit ok????

i have fitted a CA into my 1200 but am using an R30 skyline box. is the standard ECU still good or do i need an after market ECU given that the gearbox has been swapped???? any ideas!!!
