Glad we could help, 71C is 160F. I can't wait to here more about a roof -
that's different.
There aren't too many 1600 Nissan engines that I can think off that are
worth the trouble, most are fwd these days. The under 1600 ppl run a couple
of engines, the Lancia Twin Cam or more popular the Toyota 20 valve GA-GE
and with 120Kw @ 7400 rpm there's not much that will catch them in this
class. This engine was developed for Formula Pacific if you're old enough to
remember the Aussie F1 in the 80's that Roberto Marino won a couple of
times.
I don't usually suggest or advocate non-Nissan transplants for a 1600 but
there are heaps of Toys with this engine so they'll be around for a long
time yet, Corolla, Seca, Sprinter, Celica, Corona (can't imagine a stock
RT40 or a RT104 with 120Kw but they did it in Japan), MR2 and a few others.
They're supposed to be an easy fit into a 1600 from an article I saw in one
of the 4's mags a while back and they're cheap too.

Subject: thermostat prob solved
Ozdatters,
Thanx, you guys are great. The motor did stay cool for a while but after
about 90km at 120 it did start to sit at the same temp as yesterday.(I have
an old smiths and it shows approx. 100F?) Anyway I got a 71 deg c termostat
and a new housing. Since taking out the dead one I see a lot of bad sh*t in
the coolant considering I have flushed it twice in 3mths. The engineer didnt
pass it but didnt fail it either. He was OK but gave me greif on the build
date and picked out sh*tty little things. Thanks for the heater tips, all I
need now is a roof some doors, oh, and a heater;)
BTW did anyone go to Wakefield for the championships on the weekend? There
was a mad 1600, 120y and a really old Skyline. Very enjoyable day with a 7
capping of a 1:01 on the new track. Best the super v8s could get was a 1:09.
Go the 4s.
P.S. Did the CA16 ever come out in a rear wheel drive config? For
competition I cant go any bigger. For the street/sprints CA18 sure,but for
the series I cant go over 1600.
Thanx heaps
Justin
