Mounts, im not sure what to use..would i just be able to use Sr mounts from a junkyard? or should i order new ones? whats the best route?

driveshaft. my one friend said ill need a custom shaft made, but i thought there was one from another car that you guys are using..?

Anything else i need to get for her to start runnin?
Also, sellin my CA as a complete swap, shoot me offers if interested!

the intercooler kit is fine

u should use new mounts.... dont wanna use old ones n have to replace them soon after..... try these

they are a bit firmer.. havent driven my car yet so cant tell u exactly how much firmer.

as for drive shaft.. u need to shorten the front half of your driveshaft orr get a new one piece one made.

anything else- u might want to upgrade your fuel pump while your at it

i have a greddy down pipe if interested has a bend in it thou haha

Find a s13 with manual transmission and get the front half of it... then mate it with your rear half (removing your stock front half) and it's bolt on... rear s12 shaft front s13 shaft (manual that is)

And these just bolt in right, i dont have to fab anything?

sweet man..ive check it out before an love it.  do i only need two mounts though? i thought there would be more than that..most engines do..hmm..haha

s12beast87 : Good luck with your S12 project  :yes:

i swapped bellhousings on my sr swap, so im using a CA20 trans. its way cleaner/easier imo. that way you use the stock driveshaft and such. i had  the hyrbid driveshafts on my ka-t and ca18det swaps, and they vibrated like hell, probably un-balanced.

apparently sr tranny's are beefier or something. i plan on 350 + whp so i guess we'll see what happens.

i used hockey puck mounts, but any ka/sr/ca s13 mount will work.  i build $3000 dollar engines but am too cheap to buy expensive mounts lol.

as for intercooler piping i made my own., any s13 kit can be made to work with minor fabrication.

sr's are fun you'll like it.

Sr and Ka Trannys are the same, and yes they are beefier than any s12 trans. Well idk about the vg trans, idk what they haz.

And just to clarify, i was naked in this car.

EDIT: The exhaust isnt even clamped on i dont think...

And plan on rebuilding the sr when you get it.

yea that was the dirty guidos work. I seriously want to shoot myself everytime this car is started because i sounds so bad.

The sr and ka tranny are beefier than the mk1 s12 tranny (FS5W71B) but are the same as the mk2 s12 tranny (vg30e, ca20e and ca18et if you live in Canada or europe) FS5W71C... the ratio are different between the ka and sr tranny for sure, the ka is the same as the tranny used behind the rb20det in the skyline gtst (same ratio I am told) but the sr and ca18det have different ratio... (much like the difference between the ca20e and ca18et ratio in the s12)... as far as strenght goes, they are basicly the same, the tail assembly is different (which account for why the overall transmission is a little longer on the version used in the s13 compared to the s12, but the transmission and gears are exactly the same between all the FS5W71C... just the ratios changed according the the engine that was originaly mounted in front of it... I thought I would clarify all this...

So basicly, just swap the bellhousing on your original transmission to keep the stock driveshaft/shifter position... I believe that the ca20e ratios are a little longer than the sr ones, but by a very fine marging... I'll dig a little to get them... but the strenght is the same...

^^^ didn't read all of it but he's spot on about the C trans.

Z31's also have C trans.

Only N/As

Okok, im a bit exhausted from a crazy day at work. but lemme get this straight, the CA tranny will mount to an SR engine? or just the insides are swap-able.  If thats the case, i take both apart and swap the insides, mounting the SR tranny with CA goodies inside?

you just pull the bellhousing off.

theres like 8 12 mm bolts the hold it to the trans, then like 5 that hold the front cover on, and a snap ring. i takes me like 20 min to swap one, but ive done like 3 now

so I do use the CA bellhousing with the SR gears/insides? or is it the other way around?

either remove the emissions bull or replace the egr valve and it should run fine.

s12beast87 on 10:40:47 AM / 23-Jan-11
When you start it, it runs fine. abit rich but fine. as soon as it starts to warm up it just about cuts the flow of gas, and i think thats why it is doing what its doing..but what causes this??  Is it a faulty sensor thats telling the ecu the wrong thing?

sideways_s12 on 06:37:44 PM / 23-Jan-11

Coolant temp sensor replace that and you should be fine...when its cold the cts doesn't send the ecu a reading once it warms up it let's the ecu know how much fuel you need....

Well. looks like the s12 is on backorder. my daily D jus crapped on me. haha. the timing gear got worn down and let the chain slip, n since its an interference engine...well. bad things happened hahaha. so, gotta buy a new engine for the sentra and put that in. it sucks having two cars that both need engines :P

as for the stuff that was replaced, no offence but, have of it is so ghetto rigged that made me laugh haha. so as for it actually working, who knows.

Yea that wasnt my doing... when we got it some shit was kinda wacky as is. I forget if it was this car or a friends s13 that like half the trans bolts were loose or missing. Idk if that was ever tended to.

He got it thinking it needed a clutch, brought it to my house and i told him to start it, he is a retard and never pressed in the clutch or took it out of reverse so when he started it, it shot backwards. So i put a new slave in it and it drove. Then like 2 days later it started doing a bunch of gay shit, i told him what to replace... i shouldve done it myself. He kept saying the clutch was slipping, and i drove it once and it felt fine to me. I think he was just that stupid. Were not friends anymore lol
