Hey guys good news the datto is nearly finished. Im going down tomorrow night to fire up the dato and check it all out. Its been over two years since it last ran.
Its in sydney At UNIGROUP engineering just had the new CDI wired in ready for some dyno time tomorrow night. Im hoping for around 200rwkw

hey good news!

u must be hanging to drive her again...

but with 200rwkw u better pack some spare undies the first time out! hehe

good luck with it

good to hear, when will it be heading to the track next???

This weekend the 4th and 5th at bathurst.
I have taken friday off work to finish it off. I hope no problems arise I would have liked more time but sometimes it dont work out that way.
The car is looking great everything has worked out pretty well. Only hope it drives well lots of changes and im out of practice driving fast its been over two years since I did oran park and have been driving a diesel work van since then LOL. I may need a change of undies for my first run down conrod !!!

great news dude, i hope everything goes to plan.

what have you changed ? just engine stuff or suspension work aswell?

The first day out in a CA18DET 1200 in two years is at Bathurst. You lucky lucky bastard!

Let us know how the dyno run goes and cant wait to hear how it goes at Bathurst. What class are you competing in, Improved Production?

Awesome dude.......Can't wait to hear the results.

I'm about a week behind you

hi, this seems to be the best place to ask what a CA18DET conversion actually entails, ive seen on www.maddat.com that they sell engine fitting kits, that include, engine and gearbox crossmembers, and mounting rubbers.
what i want to know is, what else has to be done? i know that it would require larger fuel lines, and efi wiring, but does anything else have to be changed? does the sump have to be modified? do any of the clutch/brake/steering parts foul?
thanks.

Good one dude.

I'm so envious of your rebuild speed.

Mine's coming along. My completion dates are slipping, but I should still make the Easter Nats.

My finances are tight, and my plans are big. That's the biggest problem. I'm getting tired of staying home to save money on weekends.

Cheers,
Chris
