Car: Series 1 bluebird Colour: Yellow/black/primer Bodykit: no Engine Type: CA18DET Engine Mods: Haltech E6K ecu, surge tank Power: not sure Exhaust: 3" Mandrel Bent turbo back Gearbox: ca18det 5 Speed Clutch: standard i think Diff: h190 disk brake Brakes: Front: r31 calipers and rotors, Rear: Standard Suspension: Monroe Shocks, not sure what springs but pretty stiff Wheels/Tyres: cheesys Interior: Autometer Oil Pressure Guage, Autometer Water temp, dirty brown everything Stereo: none Other Mods: Battery relocated to boot Build Period: last few months Performance: not sure I picked up a shell that used to have a sr20det in it, i intended on putting one back in but a ca18det came up so i droped it in Conversion was very straight forward as it already had a r31 tank and fuel pump in it and the ecu was peice of piss to wire up. Its running but not moving just need to get the tailshaft cut down Few dodgey pics: When i got it Sleeper Battery, surge tank and other bits Engine with my custom crossover pipe ;D (cooler coming soon) very very dirty All my mess

I'd love to put a CA18 in the wagon since I have to put another engine in anyway but I've got a bit much on at the moment so it looks like another CA20 Keep up the good work Looks like it'll be a nice low budget circuit weapon

Yeah the main reason i've built it is for the circuit, i've picked everything up at a very good price so i'm pretty happy
Once i've got it moving, a cooler and a good tune with a few more psi i'll take it out and see how it goes on the track, the plan is s13 coilovers front and rear, with either 300 or 330 mm 4 pot brakes, it depends on if i want to stary 4 stud or convert to 5 stud. I'm not too sure how the r31 brakes will hold up but at least they are ventelated unlike the standard bluey disks haha, and i'll have to see what the handlings like

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't handle if you get it set up right. Should be a good thing.

Been a while since i've updated I broke the diff and decided that the turbo was too small so fitted this brand new ball bearing gt28, just need to connect up the oil drain and it will be running again Diff will be welded and it will be on the road again still havn't got a chance to get it to any track days it will need a new clutch, fuel pump and tune before then, not really sure how to get involved in club days or anything but will look into it when things are ready, (very busy and hardly get a chance to do anything with it atm) Nice stealth black cooler

Also been meaning to make the black guard and primer door yellow to blend in a bit, but as you've probably guessed i don't really care what it looks like it's just to be driven

For those of you that wanted to know how the cushioned button clutch is, its no where near as harsh as i thought it would be, its not that much worse than a normal organic heavy duty clutch and wouldn't really be a problem with daily driving as far as im concerned
