interchangeable parts?
« on: Sep 11, 2002, 02:03AM »
does anybody here know what parts are interchangeable between different nissan models?

for example, i know that the brakes on a trx are the same as on either the r31 or r32 skylines.

anyone else know of any others? i.e. suspension parts etc?

DBA Silvia/180sx rotors are identical to the pintara ones, but they are 280mm big vs. our 258mm (11" vs. 10.1")....you already know what i'm thinking right? Nice, big brakes  ;D
Started pricing slotted ones already. Just hafta make up the spacers for mounting the calipers correctly. Need the new rims on first for clearance issues.

i didnt wanna tell anyone this until i whipped their arses on the gear changes while racing.

sr20de gear shifters are interchangeable with both ka24e & ca20e

therefore, any quick/short shifter made for an sr20 will fit any u12 pintara.

Nispares are getting back to me about getting a hold of half a dozen or so short shifters.  I'll let you know.

I reckon 91nismotrx will tell you that a short shifter is worth about $160 from Autobarn Dandenong  ??? or so he tells me.

Oh yeah, I checked those short-shifters out at Doncaster Autobarn. $130 and supplied by Rocket Industries (the mob that imports K&N into Australia), but Rocket probably gets 'em off someone else. They are chrome silver... not black like the stocko shifter.

yeah, basically a short/quick shifter shortens the throw of the gear shift. so therefore, you are able to change gears quicker than with a stock shifter. giving you an advantage over someone you may be racing, or, on the other hand, it makes the shift somewhat easier for you dont have to move your arm as much.

Yeah, a short-shifter reduces the length of the gear change movement in manuals, allowing faster gear changes. 'SR' just means that 91nismotrx is referring to Nissans that have the SR20 engine/gearbox combination in them.

I'll answer my own question, IT IS.  Part number is 45088 according to the B & M website, silver shifter suitable for a sr20.  I like it, but I can't find anyone who has them for sale (apart from Doncaster Autobarn)

I think Repco are usually more than happy to deal with Rocket, so you might be able to get 'em through them.

Someone said R31 skylines have a lot which is similar similar to our TRX? Well there is this guy in sydney, selling some r31 parts.......including 80mm RB20 air flow meter, early alloy type with adjustment screw.....wants $150.00 How would that go in your cars?
Too big? Silly idea? No gain in performance?

It'd work Mitza, but i'm still unsure if any decent gains can be had from it. I don't think the pressure drop across our std MAF is enough to warrant upsizing. As long as it'll plug straight in, you should be right if you've got the cash.
I think ours only become a slight problem when forced induction is brought into play.... ;D

VPW also stock some SR20 short shifters, varying from $99 to $400.
Apparently injectors from a VG30ET (Z31 300zx) are a decent upgrade from the stock injectors (260cc/min vs around 320-360cc/min). Yet to confirm this however.
