Looks great mate and congrats on the new job!
Hi mate, Send me a PM, there is a whats app group of 80s jap tin with quite a few s12 owners running the Ca18ET, maybe they can help.
Danny, you got PM
Time for a 2016 update me thinks!!!
Awesome progress. Nice to see your replicating the factory metal. Are you gonna re-spray the whole bay? same colour?
Went on a mission today to get a subframe but they guy didn't have the correct tools to take it apart as he was breaking the whole car. I ended up with all the rear suspension! Plus 2 front wings...
That's some great advise mate, will do that cheers.
Cheers guys, its proving to be a fun little car, just need to iron out a few issues.
Well as my clutch is slipping pretty bad now that ive upped the boost thought it was time to change it. Was a...
Mate!!!! How good does that engine look!!!!Are you gonna paint the bay?
need to see it in the daylight!! that chromey goodness
This looks awesome! the overn extension looks boss man, really nice job. Id be tempted to leave it like that! looks great.
Well ive done about 500 miles in her now! Sorted all the idle issues out, now have a perfect 14.7 AFR. Had a nightmare with the profec b boost controller, couldn't get it to do what I wanted so I...
Definitely worth the effort. Ive done 500 miles in mine now and its a blast. Ive terrorised a few type r's and nothing can beat that!
yeah its better, its running a lot colder so that's great. IM sure I can hear another vac leak but cant pinpoint even with starter fluid sprayed everywhere, maybe its just the induction noise?. I...
I got the check valve and fitted it and went for a quick drive. I tell you what the brakes are better!!!! hahhah
That Mishimoto rad looks identical to my driftworks one! must be a mishimoto then!
Yeah we should meet half way somewhere. so when we break our cars we both equally as far awayfrom home as each...
I hate those extractors, one of the second hand turbos I bought had a snapped stud so I used an extractor on it and surprise surprise it snapped! Tried to drill that out but its hardend so was a...
Got a bit more of the kit on, the rears im debating wether to put on or not as they are incorporated into the mud flap and it hangs like an inch from the ground, might be asking for trouble. Need to...
Hey Andy that is exactly what it is. It's identical to that. Yep resealed everything with silicon gasket. I've ordered a gasket set and will re do all when it arrives. I still think I can hear a vac...
Cleaned the IACV and it improved the the idel a little it dropped to 1000rpm then I just adjusted the idle screw in that assembly. Then Timed it up.
Its running around 15 AFR at idle now.
...
Thanks mate, yep I've sealed that end cap up. It starts up at about 1500 1600 rpm. Then drops to 1100. Yeah I don't think that's a one way valve, will check and block it off to test.
Right so I have got the idle AFR to 13.9 / 14.0 so that's much better than 18!

Ok had some time on this,
Ive sent off for a one way valve but in the meantime I thought I would experiment a little.
...

Also its set at the factory timing, but will find a ignition lead and have a look at the timing.
