Im ready Guys for a ca18det h/cut,
hoo's the CHEAPEST man in sydney!!!

Throw sum numbers & address at me ...........

Cheap generally equals broken. Most turbo motors have had a hard life.,

I'd recommend you check the silvia websites and buy from someone swapping the ca18 for a sr20. Don't buy one that's been sitting around in a garage for years.

The engine is 17 years old. I guess the lack of RWD cars for the past 15 years is the reason why the CA18 is still the best option, other than an SR20 (in states where it's legal).

cheeers champ thanks for the lesson...
il try silvia web

Datto dude is right.
Your buying someone's word when buying a half cut. Sitting around in Japan, then cut up, sit some more, thrown around into containers, stacked on top of each other - you get the point... Most yards are pretty good because their reputation is important to them. but, some are just after a buck. I bought a CA18det off a guy who was going SR20det and I could test drive it in the car, perform all tests - comp check, blow smoke, oil preassure etc. Look around with a little bit of patience and maybe might be a little cheaper too.

hey hotrocket. .
look into ichibarn proformance engines thats where i got mine from they just sold me everythin i needed in a kit didnt need a halfcut. . and it was cheaper than everyother place at the time cost me bout 1800 with warrenty and everythin. . hmb if u hav any probs

thanks mate on that,
$1800 with every thing you need to do the job sounds good to me,....il have to see if they have a stumpy 5 speedbox lyning around aswell
il give ichibarn a crack .....cheeers

Hey mate,
any luck yet with that stumpy box?
Any ideas on getting hold of one?
I've been looking around and Mad Dat is the only ones I've seen.
Plz Let me know... Or anyone else for that matter.

i got my stumpy from maddat its tight lol

Looking at doing the same conversion in the future, do you HAVE to run a stumpy box? any other tips and tricks to look out for ? ( got a 73 1200 coupe)
Any tips/ help appreciated.
Cheers

i saw a conversion to run a skyline box with the ca wonder how that would go ay umm
might get one down the track people think the stumpy box is crap for changing at high revs soon see the stumpy might get the flick lol
