OOOHHH YEAH!!!! Now I gotta get an IC and a few things. Hopefully, it will be in by May!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO stoked!!! I'm not sure if it has a MAF or ignitor, so if it dosen't what can I use? I can get a CA ignitor for cheap off eBay, but the MAF may be a different story...

Also, I am going to get a SPEC Stage II clutch from the reviews of their stuff I have read. Where can I buy one at?

Congrats! I was about to bid on it myself. I watched it til the end.

Post by **rico05** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:02 pm

I had a viscious battle w/ someone over it for the final 5 minutes or so. I just can't wait till it gets here!

Post by **s13conv** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:02 pm

So how much was your highest bid at? I was about to bid $1050 but only 27sec were left and I couldnt get the bid in. Well congrats on the motor.

rico, I might have a ca MAFS I could sell you cheap in a few weeks. I've got a Z32 MAFS that I'm going to set up when I get my SAFCII so I won't need it anymore. Gimmie a yell when you get the stuff in and hopefully I'll be ready to part ways with it then. I always hook NICO people up, so check with me first.

Congrats, You can use an ignitor of a US pulsar, but I don't recomend to use the pulsar maf, get yourself a 300zx one.

So you were my rival hunh? I had it throguh $1025, then at the last second I just threw in $1500 just to be sure;)

Pulsar, I'm sorry that I didn't go through you, but this was just a smidge cheaper. Good luck selling off your stock!! If anyone is looking to buy a clip, get it from Pulsar. He seems like a really good guy and had I lost this, my next email would have been to him!!

haha no I wasnt that 1deg1952 or whatever the username was, I was just going to try to snipe the auction at the last minute, I didnt want to go very high because shipping from Georgia would have owned me, their shipping quote was like $450

Post by **rico05** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:02 pm

Mine is gonna be $325.

Post by **nextlevel** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:02 pm

I found another motor that I can get a good deal on, From a guy I know out in Cali that has a shop, he can get be everything for 1450 shipped, includind SMIC, I'll prob do that, I have to wait untill May-June to get it, hopefully the KA will last that long, well hope your install goes well, That engine looked CLEAN.

Post by **rico05** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:02 pm

Yeah. And only 50K miles too!

Hey, what can I use for the turbo inlet ducting? Any comments? I really may jsut fab up some good ol PC er somethin...

Post by **nextlevel** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:02 pm

Ya I would say fabricate something up, PVC may work or if you or any people you know weld you could weld something up.

True. SO where can I get a clutch? I have heard that a SR flywheel and clutch will work. Is that my only real option?

Post by **nextlevel** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:02 pm

I believe Enjuku sells CA cluthches, but other than that you would prob have to get the SR clutch/flywheel

Post by **float_6969** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:02 pm

I got my SPEC stage 3 clutch from enjuku. They have one specifically for the CA18DET. I'm very happy with mine. The clutch feel is very light, which I didn't like at first. But when you drive it around town all day, I'm glad that it is. I've NEVER had it slip, so I'm happy with it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It doesn't. I don't know which threads you were reading, but at least 2 of us (me included) bought SR20 flywheel clutches only to find that YES they bolt on, but NOOOOOOO they don't clear the bellhousing... luckily I got mine used for next to nothing, but someone bought a fidanza SR flywheel and SPEC clutch only to find out he couln't use them... don't do it man:) trust me. I've tried it personally!

BTW drifting is real hard on the VLSD. I've learned that from experience....

Post by **rico05** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 5:02 pm

I looked on Enjuku's site and only found SR and KA clutches. I guess I will just email them and see...
