Default I've just bought a car

Well, today I bought a car... its not a Ford.. although it did come badged as Ford Corsair at one point...

1991 Nissan Pintara 2.0 auto

Good luck with the BUM DRAGGER (tm) Steffo

BTW dual fuel on a 4cyl will make it SLOW as well as having no boot space

Bummer it's FWD, the older RWD Pintaras go suprisingly well.

But congratulations on it mate, hope it serves you well until you can upgrade to a real Ford

Didn't the Pintara's have an early version of the KA24de (93 -97 Bluebird donk). I think the difference was 3 valves vs 4 and cylinder head.

I'm sure the steffster is busily trying to work out how to fit a Scat 347 crank and an AFR 185 head to the mighty mighty pintara... along with the biggest Vortech that the CA can spin....

It might be a CA block,

At home these are popular cars and especially for the taxi's. My friend had one, it was the pillarless model that had a lower roof line. His had a CA18E motor. Same setup as the ea cfi injection and a single cam head.It didn't go too bad and the thing ran on the smell of petrol. The 2.4's definitly trompted them tho. The bodies aren't the most rigid things in the world, try putting your fingers between the top of the door and the roof whle turning, be careful not to jam them tho.

It's great the way nissan codes their engines, CA = block type, 18 = capacity, in this case 1.8l and the letters after that relate tothe other crap. D = doch,E = efi, T = turbo TT = twin turbo, DD was used for the few engines that had direct injection.

Edit: and perhaps i should have read page 2 before posting!
