it's not as sleeper as i'd like but i'll be changing that soon! steelies with hub caps! hide the cooler and lower the rear will add to the sleeper effect! i'm trying to avoid unwanted attention! like i said it's not the quickest car around but it is not too bad for a front wheel drive!

The engine is stock as rocks internally with just a few bolt ons, GT28R(did have a GT2876R) custom exhaust manifold, sard 700cc injectors, microtech LT10S

car makes 255.9hp @ 14psi

has ran a 12.2et@ 124MPH om michey thompson drag slicks

I'm currently building a 3/4 chassis datsun 1200 ute powered by a ca aswell which i'll be competing for Australia's fastest CA powered vehicle, i'll start a thread on that build eventually

i'm not boasting or anything but it has taken many by surprise including a few gtr's

Not bad at all. Do you have an LSD in your transmission? And if so, what transmission are you using? What size slicks did you use on your pulsar and what suspension are using? I also use the CA in FWD configuration and have two different set-ups; one is for drag and one is for fun.

that is a wierd looking corner marker. Is it factory ?

so the pictures of the car show 4 lug 'hub caps'... or are the maxi 5 lug rotors hidden behind there ?

is that all you do for crankcase ventillation.... two breather caps ?what about the block ?

what is the quickest CA powered vehicle & what setup currently ?

Definitely interesting CA projects. That pulsar is a quick, efficient use of 256hp.

How hard was it to use the Maxima transmission? Does it bolt up to the CA18 block or do you have an adapter plate in there? Are the hubs just bolt up, or were there any modifications you had to make to the hubs/suspension? What are you using for driveshafts?

Just get you a phantom grip insert and go from there. Both of my sentras have heavily modified trannies and axles and take a crap load of time to make it happen. There is CA18DET fwd ranny that has a LSD, but it is ubber-rare and even if you find one, you're still going to need custom axles. For me to make one, will cost around $1500 to include custom axles. What a headache.

corner marker??? do u mean side indicator??? if soo yes it is standard,the 4 lug on the front are mags same as the back , that pic was taken before i changed to the maxi 5 lug hubs,the block still has the standard breather pipe going to the head and the head has the 2 filters! there is no blow by so no need for catch can,australia's fastest CA is in a datsun 1200 ute owned by mark bourne, it does a 8.85 sec pass @ 151MPH!the pulsar is a sleeper and CA18's are very underestimated engine over here! every one loves sr20'spic of mark bournes ute

the maxima box bolts sraight up but as i stated earlier they are rare as! the hubs ect bolt straight onto the N13 struts just need to drill out one of the holes from a 14mm bolt to a 16 mm bolt, drive shafts are shortened maxima items which cost me $200

soo true! it's sooo annoying! 1st useless, second straight to rev limiter, as with 3rd, 4th actually grabs traction and away you go! still goes ok , but goes through tyres
