[Secret squirrel]

hello, my name is jeff. I have been lookin at this forum for a long time and finally registered.

onto my car! I have a 1990 240sx fastback which i am currently doing my ca18det swap....enjoy some pics...

started like this:

ka wasnt cutting it, and i didnt want to bandwagon with a sr...so i decided on the wonderul ca...



ka goes bye bye...



and this is how it currently stands...



soon upgrades include:

nismo motor mounts, greddy fmic, uras exhuast, greddy elbow, and downpipe, avcr, and fuel system upgrades ( havnt decided what yet and still have research to do)

i see lots of good info here and hope to stick around and use some of your knowledge....

thanks,

SS

Nice to see you come over from Zilvia. I am boostedS13 on there... you PMed me a couple times. Zilvia is good for most 240sx/KA related stuff, but NICO blows it away in terms of the CA knowledge-base. Good to see you on here....

thanks for the welcome....

nice to see your here too crad.

yea zilvia suxors for ca stuff, and when there is stuff posted all the SR guys just bash away.

i have lots of questions for ya...

z32 fuel filter a good replacement from stock ka one.

oil pan dent removal aka bang with hammer!

and the lil coller that is on the end of the bellhousing that connect to the driveshaft...i have heard i need to remove it using a hammer to use my KA shaft.

thanks...

I've been using a Z32 fuel filter for years on my various 240's. Definatly a good idea.

Man was dented pretty good when I got it. 10min later with a hammer and a good sized solid steel rod (1.5" diameter) and it was like new.

yea, just tap it out with a hammer, away from the transmission.

hey man i know this is weird to ask but can i see more pics of your engine bay and under the car? ive seen some similiar rust that you have to me on the pics a bit and i was about to say screw it and just get another shell (which i dont want to do). If i could see what ya got there real quick i can decide if i want to do my CA swap now!

if no on the pics then thanks anyways
