yeh well maybe not selling now as i think the problem has come back and block is the last place, so may be doing a new motor in the next few weeks. And for the ba want to do a ba turbo wagon for the wifes daily to replace her 1jz cressida.

problem is hopefully fixed the intake manifold had a leak between cylinder one and where the thermastat is. didnt leak water into the cylinder but did leak boost into the cooling system maybe 25psi is enough boost haha, so just hoping that was the only leak and that it doesnt have one in the block as well. so time to turn the boost up and see what happens.

So turns out this car loves me so much that i bought it back, saw a nice KE30 on ebay a few days ago and thought wow thats tidy and started dreaming (with no intention of buying it) and looked at it again, showed a couple of mates and so on and then it clicked to me, it had the same steering wheel mine used to, it had a ca18det, r31 diff like mine used to (with drum rear brakes), sigma control arms, guages in the dash the same as mine used to. Could see some green paint in one of the pictures where he had the kick panel of and my old one was green before it was white, it had extended shackles like mine used to so had to be mine. so called him and was the same owner, and i didnt need anymore cars as i currently have 15 but just had to have it.

 

Its currently only a rolling shell so deciding what engine it needs? really want to stick to toyota and has to be legal and 400+rwhp capable. the ca18 that i built for it years ago was still in it and making 440rwhp and was still the same clutch and gearbox even so i must have built it good, but i bought it less motor and box

Ha, awesome!

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

Was watching this too mate and dreaming, you got an absolute bargain imo, can't wait to see what you put in it. remember too the qld rules have changed, this category is now weight x 2.75 for turbo so a fair bit more room for capacity.

Looks the goods, if you don't mind how much did you pick it up for?

[sleepercorty]

$5000 Stenzel, the new laws would have been good if this was a ke55 I could put a 1jz in :) but ke30 is to light

[sleepercorty]

So the wife really liked the ca18 so will be putting another one back in it at this stage, I think for $5000 I can do a 400rwhp ca18 motor, box, computer and fuel system. I think 10's will be fast enough for a ke30 with a manual gearbox :)

[sleepercorty]

Ca18de and gearbox purchased $400

Pistons and rods $676

Waste gate and turbo $1020

That will be enough spending for this week, it's awesome owning my own parts shop had pistons, rods, turbo and gate in stock just pulled them off the shelf :)
