Wastegate arrived, I think the dog could live in it.

yeah two 7's (inner and outer), 10 and 14.

You can use the inner in combination with any of the outers.This gives 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21 psi options. :)

My mate bought a 14psi one for his pro gate 45 (because he didn't get any spares) and it cost him £60 ~ $110

what are you planning on using such a big wastegate for? Did you get it for a steal or something?

it was a reasonably good price yes.Going for ~500RWBHP for now, it's a tried an tested WG here in the UK on the CA so thought I'd get one. :)

I ordered a 45mm one but it was a progate 48 when it arrived.

I'm also thinking ahead as I'll most likely be tuning an R32 when I finish the S13.

werd--can you get a lot of parts (goo availability ) for the ca motor? Over her, it seems as thought its rather limited. I could use the help.

LOL, a lot of the internals have or are coming from the states. :)

pistons (JE)rods (Pauter)Tomei cams/lifters/shims/head gasket (SPL because they are a lot cheaper than in the UK)Turbo (Precision)I'm using a Z32 fuel pumpInjectors (Precision)

The manifold I'm using is being made for me here, the FMIC and pipework is all UK stuff

Basically there is very good support here for them but most of it is Jap stuff which TBH is invariably overpriced.

I imported the wastegate from Australia, al lot of my suspension is whiteline which i also imported from Whiteline, my shocks I got from CoxImports in the states.

Nissan OE prices are hideously expensive here and usually have to wait for it to be ordered. Courtesy might be a better bet.

What parts are you after?

the motor internals ahev been easy to find so far--which is surprising. Usually its the other wya around--bolt ons are plentiful, while internals are not. Heres the thing. a guy i knowa had a 300zx TT which i had built. but rods snapped(3 of them) after low oil pressure form a crappy mahcine shop motor assy. so i have s et of 300zx piston that i can get for cheap. I ahve heard that the 300zx pistons are the same as the ca pistons. true? If not--ill just buy teh JE's. Rods will be whoever is cheapest. im a firm believer in stock rods, but i want something with a name behind it for some weird reason--:)ALl my injectors should be through racetronix. Ill be using 75lb injectors. The head is the part im concerned with. The cams from JUn are very $$$. Ichecked the site and used a yen to dollar calc--OMG it was like 1300 for the cams , springs and retainers. The cam gears were like another 300. I about fell over. That sucks-i hope they are cheaper somewhere else--loli want about 350-400 to the wheels, but im more conerned with the car being fucntional, and clean. For this car, im goig for speed, AND wow factor. popping the hood i hope will give the same effect to some as a good p0rn movie--lol-j/k.someone mention ed usung a pulsar gti-r manifold--are the flanges correct? or does it have to be worked?

no VG pistons won't fit the CA, they fit the SR though I believe with a small amount of fettling.

SPL are doing Tomei cams for $490 pair, solid lifters and shims $380 a set, springs about $240 they don't do reatainers for the CA, AFAIK Jun are the only people that do.

The GTi-R manifold is an *****, I am just going to use the bolt on plenum bit and make my own runners and backplate. Big job.

I've got polished, peened ligtened rods now but I jsut don't want it to break, hence got Pauter ones for the new build. They were $775, very nice rods though.
