Hi guys I was wondering if anyone could tell me what parts I could use on a engine swap / conversion from a Standard Nissan Silvia S13 running a CA18DET into my 120y.
At some point I would like to buy a turbo car to mess around with mainly because I have never owned one before.
My ultimate street car would be my 120Y with a CA18DET in it, so I was wondering if I picked up a cheap S13 and decided at a later date to put the motor from the silvia into my 120Y I wanted to know how much other stuff would be useful from the S13? Would probably use the Maddat engine conversion kit.
Sofar I came up with Engine, computer, intercooler, Gauges, fuel pump, maybe wireing loom, breaks suspention. Not sure what else dunno about gearbox, propshaft, Diff.
Can anyone else think of anything else I could use.
Thanks

Hi there. I have a 120y with a ca 18 det in it. It all fits good. I might have some photos to show you. I didn't do the conversion so I can't be 100% on which parts were used. Currently the motor is out of the car again as I did rust repairs. A pity you don't live local so you can look.

You will need to make room on the firewall for the exhaust manifold where the oxygen sensor screws in. On mine I just belted it in an inch or so with a hammer. Apart from that every thing else can be made to fit.

Hi thanks for info when you say it all fits, was you able to use the diff, gearbox, prop shaft?
Thanks

Hi there. Sorry I didn't reply. I haven't been on for months. Did you end up doing the conversion? This info might be to late but with mine I used the Silvia gear box as well and the standard borg warner 120y diff. The diff holds out quite well although I'm running 12" 155 standard tyres so it just breaks traction instead of harming the diff. I'm not sure what the previous owner did with the tail shaft but I have had one made up in the past for another project and it only cost a few hundred dollars.
