yea i was thinking about that. i've got no problem cutting the tunnel an fabricating a new gearbox x member im just a bit worried the tail shaft is gonna sit to high in the tunnel n when the rear suspension is compressed it's gonna hit, should i be worried about this or will it be right? otherwise im just gonna have to get another box

hi all heres the story, bought a ca18det motor and gearbox then got a dato 1200 ute that already had a ca in it but didn't come with the motor. the dato i brought run a ca18det with a standard ca box, anyway i started putting my engine and gear box in n was having difficulty putting the gearbox mount on then realised it must be a different gearbox. turns out it's a rb20det box that old mate sold me with the motor which is really annoying .

basically i gotta make a new gearbox mount and chop the tunnel out a bit, my question to you experts is does it have to sit level?? and with the tail shaft will it hit on the tunnel when the suspension is compressed if its mounted to high in the tunnel?? basically how do install the thing?? thanks for any help

oh righteo, wat i was gonna do is rip out the metal pipe thats off the t section on the bottom hose and put the big hose that came down from the plenum into t section where the metal pipe used to be and all i was gonna do was run the 2 throttle body hoses to a t join then run it into the bottom radiator pipe, will that work???

im having drama's tryin to figure out the water hose setup underneath the intake plenum on the ca18det.Just want to know how the other guy's out there setup up there's and if they could post a photo or diagram or somethen plz

to explain it better it's the hoses that come off the T piece on the bottom radiator hose that travel under the intake plenum i found a diagram but it doesn't tell me where a couple end and i wanna know which ones i can block or put into my heater or what??? just somebody tell me lol it's driving me bonkers

thank for any help cheers leith

ps done a search and found some results just nothing specific

you can buy my aprilia haha i live in toowoomba. it's alot better to ride than a 250rr, i had a ride of my mates 250rr and it was pretty good feels like your floggin the **** out of it no matter how slow you ride haha n the feekin like a hive of bee's is about to blow up underneath your balls is a bit scary

Hi guys has anyone got photo's of how they setup all there water and radiator hoses on there ca's. i wanna put my ca in my datsun on the weekend but i need a diagram or somethen of some different water pipe setups and also what you guy's do with the vacuum system cos from what i see everyone just rips it off

thanks for any help

i think its chinese would have a clue for 150 i didn't really care haha i got a surge tank and all that gear, im thinking about just give it a miss and just sticking with the disco potato

we talkin like big cams and porting????

hi guys done a search on turbo setups and couldn't find anything related. i scored a t3/t4 turbo off ebay for 150 bucks brand new which i thought was not bad. i was thinking about putting it on my ca18det i just wanted to get your guys opinions on how it will run on the street and race track etc this is the mods i've got done to the engine- gtr injectors, fmic, big exhaust, bosch coils, microtech ecu, external wastegate and top mount exhaust manifold i think thats it, anyway feel free to give me some advice on how to make it run better etc

cheers leith

sorry don't have any pics yet haven't even got the car to put the motor in lol im goin to get it on the weekend, but i nearly finished building my motor can prob get some pics of that.

turbo cost me $200 lol so i thought i'd give it a go and if it didn't go alright i was just gonna go get a disco potato.

my mate has got a forgies (not sure), microtech, intercooler, bosch coils and everything else is standard i think might have an sr20 turbo but it makes 185rwkw (240hp) on 12 pound i think he said

edit - think the turbo i got is t3/t4 or somethen, cheap anyway
