For all U blokes who have a ca18det, pick up a copy of this months imports mag. It has a white GT-R skyline and a white evo on the front. It has some good & fairly cheep mods
for the ca18.

For those who have already got them from the importer, did U need to replace the internals or are most of them ok?

Can U use a external fuel pump with a stock datto fuel tank?

Yep, I got that issue. It's contents were unfortunately nothing new to me, I was hoping for some cool new ideas.

The VL Commodore external EFI pump is fine.
As are the peirburg EFI pumps. Which are considered aftermarket VL replacements.

Any engine with less than 80k on it should be ok, but I'd probably replace the timing belt if more than 50k.

Generally look at coolant galleries and heater hoses to get an idea of the condition of the import engine. All because it's externally clean with no oil showing doesn't mean the insides
are as pretty. The stock fuel line out of the tank is ok for a standard DET engine, But if you are modifying it, then you may need to detach the output pipe plate and replace the outgoing
pipe with a larger diameter tube. It also gives you an opportunity to put in a fuel return line. That way you can keep the stock fuel tank breather system in place. I fully recommend using
a surge tank. EFI doesn't like AIR.
