Looks like to me all it needs is some good suspension and wheels/tires + windo tint.

I like smooth simple clean cars.

To each his own though.

Actually this IS an AWD Bluebird. It believe isn't the SSS, it's just the base level AWD bluebird (if that's what the japanese call it, I'm researching more info on the net.). That's why I asked if there was a diff between the SSS and non SSS awd bluebirds :)

I'm also going to e-mail the company to find out the exact spec's. I'll tell you when and if they reply.

edit: These are the specs they provide for you

Year: 1994 Engine: 1.8P Gearbox: Manual Doors: 4 Seats: 5 Colour: silver Kilometers: 87,000 Grade: 4

Extras: ac, ps, pw, pm, cl, 4wd, ARX-L

(what's ARX-L????? if it was turbo they would have had tb, they might have left it out lol)

That's what I was thinking, get suspension and work on the engine first. I'm still going to get a body kit. not something outrageous though, just to increase the aerodynamics, cuz I WILL beat this car like a b**** :D lol

Any pointers/tips on suspension? I'm still searching google for turbo kits.

ok, forget the bodykit, unless u wanna input, I'll sort it out with the guy who makes em.

My Question still stands. Can you turbo a SR18DE engine?and where can I find intake, exhaust systems for it? will altima or NX/Pulsar systems fit my Bluebird? I am searching, but it's nice to knw there's a backup (this post) in case my efforts turn up fruitless. THANK YOU in advance.

you can turbo that motor but you would be far better off saving for an SR20DET. having said that the two are physically similar and a lot of gear will interchange with minor or no mods (some FWD SR20DE's have quite nice stainless headers standard and turbo manifolds should bolt on), in fact a lot of FWD Nissan parts can be made to fit if you are pepared to modify them a bit.

just to clear up some misconceptions on AWD BB's, the ATTESA can be had with a number of options. I have seen U12's with CA18i (SOHC), CA18DE, CA18DET, CA18DET-R, SR20DET etc. the key is in the model prefix or suffix eg: 'SSS' ATTESA 'Limited'. a SSS will be DOHC and a Limited will have a turbo too. i don't know that much about U13 names but the Ltd is still the one to get ;)
