josh_t Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thats what I was thinking. Eventhough the sr's alum block n high revs I still think ka dominates it certainly doesnt dominate. they both have their ups and downs. if i could afford it i would go sr all the way but thats not the case for most of us.

80datson Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 BACK ON TOPIC. Because I'm sick of reading everyone's mindless bitching. I like the displacement of the KA, and it's direct relation to the L series. Not to mention how easy it is to find one when you blow yours up. Cheap to build and readily available. Yes also that. The relation to the l series and to be able to throw on a stumpy is a plus... Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 i forgot about the stumpy. that means i would be able to fit a tranny on the back of a ka in my car without cutting up the tunnel. and mines automatic so that gives me more room too. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I seriously LOVE the SR, but I think it's overplayed in Datsuns. Nissans in general actually. If you have the money,why not just go VG? The extra CC's and two extra cylinders gives you potential way above the SR's Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 i want one. my two swap choices are ka and vg. i really cant decide which one i would rather have. i could get a de out of a j30 and they have that sexy twin tb intake. its like a metal orgasm. Quote Link to comment

If you have the money,why not just go VG? The extra CC's and two extra cylinders gives you potential way above the SR's why not go6 moar than the VG and find a Nissan R383 for moar potential, and 700hp... and then quad turbo and supercharge and fog it with nos? because that wasnt part of the hypothetical question...:P ...sry... i had to metalmonkey.... but for real... id rather have an sr than a ka... 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah I was going that route then I thought if your going do all that work for a k swap why not put the ka trans eventually you will need to if you want to produce more power. So I just cut mine. Its not like I'm going back to stock. And if I do which I doubt I can just Fab a plate to cover the cut hole.. no biggies.. Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 i could get a vg30e out of a quest for the same price as a ka if not cheaper. you can get the whole van for like 500 in many cases. and in decent shape. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) because that wasnt part of the hypothetical question...:P ...sry... i had to metalmonkey.... How wasn't it? The discussion is over KA - SR, but why not VG? It within reason, and not much more complicated then the KA/SR. Were' not talking RB or anything, just VG, If we seriously stuck to the topic on EVERY thread, Ratsun would have such a vast amount of creative minds. I'm on Ratsun because we're diverse. I'd like to keep it that way. VIVA LA RATSUN. i could get a vg30e out of a quest for the same price as a ka if not cheaper. you can get the whole van for like 500 in many cases. and in decent shape. Any quest you buy that cheap though is a hunk of crap. i wouldn't trust the engine. Besides, aren't the FWD motors different? Z31's are a dime a dozen. I'd rather pull the whole drivetrain and use that Edited October 19, 2011 by metalmonkey47 Quote Link to comment

It would probably just spin the tires... like driving in the rain LOL Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 i'm sticking with the a for quite a while. all my swap ideas are purely hypothetical. who knows maybe i can find that secret vacuum hose you take off and it unleashes an extra 150hp in 10 seconds. oh yeah i'm not a dumb ricer with a honda.

GIIIIANT cloud of smoke.... the sr dime is gone but the 620 is still there burning holes in the pavement btw ibftl or inb4tl means "in before the lock" .... im guessing mike the "king rat" might lock the thread if we dont behave Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 i forgot about the stumpy. that means i would be able to fit a tranny on the back of a ka in my car without cutting up the tunnel. and mines automatic so that gives me more room too. The short 'stumpy' is still a B tranny and not as strong as the C. True it will bolt on with the same matching tilt but I put a long B in my 710 that originally had a short 510 type 4 speed and there was tons of room at the back. It's all long and narrow and doesn't really conflict with the tunnel back there at all. Get a D21 C type from behind the Z24i or the KAE up to about '92 or so. This looks to be the shortest C type there is. (the S12, S13 and S14 C types are much longer for the longer car) Quote Link to comment

josh_t Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 what about the 71 series out of the 1st gen maximas? i know where one is but its condition is in question. it only shifts into 1st and 2nd and there is a nasty mess of red rtv between the halves Quote Link to comment
