Hi folks. This may not be a Datto but it is an early Nissan. I currently own 2x S12 Gazelle's.

My street car has a CA20DET frankenmotor using the original CA20 block, rods, crank & pistons (new ACL) and the CA18DET head, intake, exhaust & ECU loom. It has 248.2hp (185.1kw) @ 5501rpm & 349.4nm (35.63 kg/m) @ 4493rpm on a hub dyno at 1.034bar (15psi). For detailed info on the CA20DET click this link - http://members.optusnet.com.au/web101/s12.htm

The other is currently under the knife, but will have an FJ20E for use as a track car.

The other FJ powered car doesn't have much info yet as it's surgery has only just begun. It will be stripped as far as practical, caged, strengthened 4 link rear with a locked/LSD H190 with coilover conversion & S3 TRX discs, complete S13 front end underpinnings including SR brakes.

Hey mate. Nice rides you got. Good to see some s12's getting the mod treatment Did you use strengthened rods in the CA20 or standard? Riley

Love your work. I have a spare CA20 in the shed that I am tossing up doing this to once the CA18 is going. I am astounded that the factory rods are holding up, they barely hold up in the factory setup.

Riley the rods are the original 300,000+km items, though they were shot peened. The entire block and head were stripped, cleaned and all new gaskets, seals & bearings were used throughout.

Cheers Bob. Don't bother mate. It's alot of hard work and money best spent on your small block CA.

Nice S12! I bet it has some good torque out of corners

On a unrelated note, check out the negative camber on that 1600 in the background of the first photo!
IPRA style

Yeah it like to light the Proxies coming out of corner 6 @ QR. We'll see how Silverstone stickies go.

That splay footed 1600 is Datto. Damn fast bugger too.
