Hi Guys

 

been reading alot of topics from this forum

very informative stuff

 

Unfortunately, Supras in SA are very rare

We probally have about 5 legal ones in the country

and one or two cross border jobs

 

we are not allowed to import 2nd hand cars, except collectors cars, and supras arent listed as collector cars..... wat a load of crap

 

Well anyway, you make me very jealous

 

So because of this bullshit law

we try to find other cars that we can swop THe GOD of engines into yep the 2JZ GTE....its only been about a year that they became available

we have a load of second hand engines in the country from Japan, that importers sell, for about R15 000,which is expensive for us.. its about R1500 dollars, not sure if its cheap for you

 

So i Have swopped a 2jz into a s13 200sx//which is your 180sx i think or 240sx

but we only got the CA18det...1.8 turbo

 

anyway after 6 months of waiting finally got my car back and on my first drive Front main seal popped, oil everywhere

i never new about this failure so many people have experienced

and because not many people are familiar with this engine

nobody knows how to fix, its has popped twice already

 

so il will pose this question in the technical forum

 

I need a definete cure for this, I have a new pump on the way aswell
