The 180SX is gone. That was hard. Even if I get another CA18 car or swap one into a car that wasn't originally equipped I still have way too much crap. I have two 20' containers filled to the ceiling with 20 years of vulturedom and impulse buys. As I go through the pile it would be great if I had a wishlist of stuff people need. I don't want to throw things away, but this is rediculous.

I can't promise quick turnaround so please don't count on me for need it now part. There is no organization here. I'm not using "pile" and a rhetorical device. It's a ****in PILE! If I see what you want I'll get back to you asap. It has to fit within post office restrictions so engine blocks are not going to go, sorry. that's the only part I can't do, though. Anything else can mail if you can afford the postage.

By fall I want one container empty and some space to move around in the other so I've got a lot of work to do. Speak up if you need something so I can recoup a little of my investment and perhaps help you finish yours. ;)

Are there aftermarket parts in the mix? I need an oil filter relocation kit. I'm always looking for little "JDM" parts

Mike, do you have the factory outlet pipe for that HKS turbo kit that you kept when I bought the kit before? Also, that engine block is top of my list once I get some money coming in from the pool business this year. I know how to handle shipping now, I just need the money.

I might also be interested in any cams you might have lying around. I have a set of HKS 264's already, but they're the lower lift (8.5mm).

I do have the outlet. I'm holding on to the set of cams I do have and the gears. I do have an odd HKS cam I can send you just for the hell of it.

I would like to be left with 2 or three longblocks, two turbo manifolds, two transmissions and a few loose tuning goodies. Other than that, it's all up for grabs to including the Trust tubular turbo manifold and turbos.

Some cool hard to find stuff would be tops!

Don't really need any turbos, manifolds, etc. but cool little things would be the bee's knees. Stuff with really bad english translations, you know? (Be improved by SARD!!) PM me if you have anything I might be interested in!

Sad to hear you parted ways with the car. s*** happens though. Spend all of the money you made on the transaction at soap land.

No, no and I'm pulling a set of 720s off the GT-R that I won't be needing.

I never tried to get that silly thing so nope. Did they make up for the stroke with higher pin placement?

Correct! And I accidently sold the pistons that came with it :(

Now I have no idea what the specs were of them, and Tomei wont help at all.

Easy, you know the pin height of the stock pistons and the CA18 rods are used so that's known and the stroke of the CA20 crank is also known. Subtract the CA18 stroke from the CA20 stroke and that's how high you need to move the pin. Have a set of pistons made to that spec. Similarly, you could use CA18 pistons and take the difference out of the rod pin to pin distance. Have a set of rods made.

I would do the rods for three reasons.

1. I wouldn't want to reduce the support of the ring pack by squeezing them in a tighter space.
2. Pistons are more complex and come in different compression ratios so they are probably more expensive and specialized.
3. Rods are rods. If you take the hit in the rod then you can use any off the shelf pistons.

I have a set for an RB which is the same thing, but you would have to buy all six.

Any ignitors laying around? I might need one since I think mine is bad. Tested for continuity and it failed on all pins. I did order a Q45 ignitor off ebay and hopefully that is working but if not, it'd be nice to know if you had some laying around in working condition.

I'm sure I have at least one, but the VH45 essentially uses two CA18 igniters so that should solve your problem.

Any chance for a HICAS pump? I'm pretty sure I could rig the KA-DE one to work with some kind of custom mount but I'd end up using a 2 rib belt at best...

my "new" S13 that I got lucky and got for $800 (hole in block, but still can move itself about the driveway etc while spraying oil everywhere) is power everything and hicas etc equipped FTW :cool: Of course I've had the thing for like 2 years now and haven't found the time to swap things over from the old wrecked one ... :tisk:

No HICAS stuff. I love the KA. Rod smacks a hole in the block and it keeps running, man's game right there. :mike

I might have one, but digging this stuff out is more than I expected. There is so much crap! :frown:

TMS, any idea how hilariously expensive a new HICAS pump from Nissan would be (+ the hilariously expensive shipping, of course)?
