yea that doesn't look right at all

Anto · 12-28-2006, 06:52 PM

Well, would it really even be worth the swap? The only real advantage I could see is the massive TQ available from the hole, it would make it great for city driving. I wonder if you can get the SR's or RB's up to that TQ level with the amount of money you'd spend on the LSx swap..

& parts would be a pain to get in Japan. I wonder if those engines break down alot? We could just arrange a parts swap from here

I'll send you all the LSx parts for life if you send me a Chaser..

yokotas13 · 12-28-2006, 08:42 PM

what kinda chaser?

I know they have the SR20 stock, but you know there are always people who want to be different, & the TQ on the V8's are insane.

I didn't know they had 240's in Japan *points at Anto* OWN'D!

hehehe, I kid, I kid! LS1's + s-chassies are pretty hawt. I've met a few muscle car guys around my area that said back in 89,

Did someone say Chaser?

JZX 100 Tourer V FTW. My next car for sure! Gotta wait a couple more years though..

datboibrad · 12-30-2006, 09:14 AM

it can still be done man. make freinds with a welder and your gooood to go. there is a book on ls1's you can buy that will inform you of 90% of what you need to know to pull it off. not to mention there are atleast 10 of us in the nation documented swaps underway so you can ask around for help. ive got wire diagrams and schematics to do it using lamost 90% of the factory wiring on the s chassis to cut cost as well.

ms!3 · 12-30-2006, 09:49 AM

alittle offtopic but kinda still with the theme. any of you guys in japan see people swaping sr's for ka's? every one in the states seem to swap ka's for sr's. wonder if some do it vise versa in japan. itd be pretty balla to see a silvia with a ka-t swap.lol

CKAMC · 12-30-2006, 10:10 AM

If I remember correctly...there were a few shops that brought a few ka's back to mess around with....

never heard what happened after that

Yashio Factory did it back in 2003. Dunno what happened after that. They had big KA-T plans. It was for sale in Jan of 2004.

kuramaya · 12-30-2006, 11:29 PM

Ka for an SR, sorry. I wouldn't know anyone that would think of doing that. SR's are so easy to build with the infinite amount of aftermarket support it just wouldnt make sense..

Oh yeah nothing against the KA. I don't hate.

nissan90sileighty · 12-30-2006, 10:24 AM

CKAMC · 12-30-2006, 10:29 AM

liv2drift045 · 12-30-2006, 12:30 PM

i really wanted to put a ka-t into a cefiro... had it all worked out in my head, and on paper actually... but i didnt bring one over w/ me... oh well

yokotas13 · 12-30-2006, 08:52 PM

i want to trade an SR for an LS1...anyone down?
i have a blacktop with manual tranny sitting here

chitownguy · 12-30-2006, 09:04 PM

I know that in one of the Grip Videos they show a 180sx with a 350 drag racing against an FD.

Anto · 12-31-2006, 02:37 AM

That's true..

Sure, the KA might have more TQ down low when it's Turbo'ed, but god knows how hard it is to get replacement parts for one in Japan.

Same with the LSx motors, BUT they're waaaaaay pimper. Turbo LSx. WOOOoooooo. Now that's what I call a motor.
