Welcome, Poland.... do you keep a post it note that says righty tighty, lefty loosey? lol joking. Welcome to Nico. Why did you swap the CA18DET, CA are pretty cool little motors.

[kamilp1908]

I will post more information about the car. I had been keeping build thread for almost two years (in polish forums), so I had to make compilation to summarize, what I have done so far.
Why I have changed CA... It is nice engine, but there is opinion that it bearings are weak. I always wanted to have 300 HP car. To get this power in CA I have to spend lot of money.
And I always wanted to make swap using my own hands.
After swap my dad told that he was proud of me. He thought that my biggest achivement will be changing spare tyre

nice car man, you should post larger pictures.
Where in warsaw do you live? i was born in warsaw.

[kamilp1908]

New engine connected with gearbox


Engine in car I am very happy



I have some problems with idle speed. I have checked all sensors, all were ok.
I found information that I need genuine MAF from RedTop (I have got only MAF from S14).
I have bought one and am waiting for mailman.

[kamilp1908]

I have tested my own device in my car. But it is still prototype phase project. It measures boost pressure. Maybe in future it has more sensors (oil temp, pressure, etc)

[kamilp1908]

I have got new MAF from genuine RedTop engine (52f00), so I hope to starte engine on weekend.
I don't want to think what I will do if the problem is not MAF issue.

[kamilp1908]

For a few weeks I had a problem with some strange sound coming from inlet. It occurs usually after engine is worm. I thought it was power steering pump, but it wasn't eventually. The only other alternatives were alt or water pump.
I have tested water pump bearings with WD40. After 20 minutes of idling and little reving, I could not hear this strange sound. So I decided to drain the coolant and take out the old water pump.
This is how it looks like:





I think that my engine still has had the genuine pump from 1994

[kamilp1908]

New water pomp has been installed.

On 17th July I have been on me first drift track day with friends from turbokillers.com (Polish 200sx fan forum). I have tried drifting for the first time and I loved it Great fun for me
To sum up this weekend:
-I need bucket seat
-maybe an extra oil cooler (max temp I had was 110'C)
-extra fan for rad.
Firstly I was afraid about engine, but in the end it has survived my drifting. Here is some photos:

[allenms240]

Oh dear, please tell me that's not the main power cable running under the car.


Anyways, nice car. Good plans and FrESH paint.

Nah if you Blow it up its running through the firewall to the rear.

[OutToWinPAHC]

I love CA builds... cool motors, weird issues though

[kamilp1908]

But I have SR20DET inside.
What is wrong with power cable? It is very thick cable, so there is no problem with proper voltage and current.

Perhaps it's in a position to be cut / frayed? I'm not sure what exactly he's talking about, and you design circuits, so I'm sure you know what you're doing.

[kamilp1908]

Lately I have solved problem with leaking power steering and solved problem with electric circuit for extra fan.
Now I have to minimize my expends on Nissan, due to my weeding on 17th September.
Maybe after I will buy bucket seat.

[420sxWETDREAMS]

nice car man, you should post larger pictures.
Where in warsaw do you live? i was born in warsaw.

What led's are you using for the clear on the half amber/ half clear? Where did you buy them? Sorry for the thread jack

[420sxWETDREAMS]

Nice car by the way.

[kamilp1908]

Work progress after last weekend:
1). Rear brakes from z32:

2). I have installed fan from Ford Mondeo MK2. I think it is very good choise, it fits very good on sr radiator. Temperature didn't pass 68'C. Next week I will test it on the track day.

This is what I have discoverd last saturday:

Someone has problems with driving on parking lot. I am sad about this situation.

[kamilp1908]

Hi.
2 weeks ago I have been on drift day. I had a little accident with concrete wall. Here are some photos of it:


Now car is looking like that:




I have also some "drifting" photos of me






I like this one:


I had some other problems with car (my hand brake only slow me down, I couldn't block the wheels). I have found some rust under the car, so I have decided to use this shell to learn drifting. It is cheaper to buy new one, then to paying someone to fix it.

This video is from trackday with my friends. It took place in Toruń in Poland.

Cool, nice to see you are still having fun! Also nice to see some drifting in Europe - excellent!

[kamilp1908]

I am very poor drifter, still learning a lot.
These are fulll movies from our club driftday in Torun:

In last year I was not participating in it, because my car is being rebuild by me. I am removing mainly rust form side skirts, bottom and arches. I have some photos of it. I will show them later.

[blkvrtswp]

Excellent videos - looks like a good size drifting scene over there.

[kamilp1908]

In those movies You can see only amateurs drifters.
You can see full professional teams (just as example of polish drift scene):
