There's a lot of custom work in the conversion. Writing a conversion article is not worthwhile, given the difficulty in finding parts (in some parts of the world) for some areas of the conversion.

Doing a CA18 conversion isn't cheap, as I said above, and involves a lot of sweat, blood and tears (In that order).

I'd like to see the statistics of people who do a conversion and either don't finish, or sell their car soon after, due to financial difficulties.

I think when someone does a conversion, or something else innovative with their car, that it's a representation of the "real type" of car enthusiast that they are. Bolt-on performance is purely a financial pursuit. I'm not into Datsun's because I want to show how much cash I've got..I'd go buy a Triumph (apparently) if I was into that crap.

People on this website have shown their brilliance through the many great articles and photos on all sorts of conversions. Writing a detailed article on how to do the CA conversion, is selling out their innovation.

I believe there is enough information and resources on this website to do the conversion already. Get the mad-dat fitting kit, download the S13 CA18DET ECU wiring diags from my website, and figure it out. Show us that you want to do it.
If it's handed to you on a platter you probably won't value it, or respect it, and others won't respect you for it.

Chris.

ps. Oh man sorry If I've gone on, having a fast Datto is a statement of "Brains over Braun. Service over Style". If I'm wrong, I'll leave quietly.
