"Heavy!" the operative word, they're a great engine
but the amount or weight the FJ puts over the front axle, lucky the rear
suspension has got some weight in it.

I must admit to a bias towards the old FJ. It
might be heavier than an SR etc but they are almost bullet proof. I have heard
of guys making 250+hp (naturally aspirated) with the standard crank and
rods being cleaned up (shot peened etc). These same engines were revving to
over 9,000 rpm reliably in circuit cars.

The CA18s are a 4cyl version of the
RB's. They were one of the better motors nissan made, but due the
number of moving parts they were more costly so they moved to the
SR20. The FJ's are twin cam 16 valve and were originally a
racing/rally motor and I think were the toughest motor Nissan ever
made.

i have heard fjs have more
potential, but arent they either twincam 8 valve or singlecam 12 valve(not
sure which)
i know srs
are a "square" engine, meaning they have(from memory) 83mm bore and 83mm
stroke also even the naturally aspirated ones have a solid forged
crank
these two points alone make them
a great engine, but every one whos owned one would know that
fjs are supposed to be pretty
good too, i just dont know as much about them
does anyone know whats supposed to be so great about
ca18dets? besides being a nissan

No - this one was a
white pearl finish, but did have momo wheels, with 35 series tyres.

I was on
a cruise in Sydney a couple of years ago with a turbo'd SSS pulsar,
he had the same problem with instant lane changing. He even snapped
an engine mount on the way into town! Once he got traction though,
it was like a bat out of hell.

Hi
list,
I was speaking to an engine builder last
night (in Sydney) who is doing some head work for me, the
guy is a guru with Nissan engines and love the FJ20, anyway,
the conversation eventually got onto the inevitable question -
"How much horsepower can we get..........."
The
answer of course was " Are you planning on winning Lotto?" Of
course I lied to him and told him I was! (Doesn't everyone
plan for that day?)
I am
now curios to find out what people are getting out of both the
Turbo's and naturally aspirated FJ's and even SR's. Might be a
good topic for discussion??
Anyone
out there got any stories (preferably true) that they could
share.
Mark.
