Best to leave them to it & not question it tbh.

Could make for interesting viewing on the strip @ PV next year. Countless Corsas melting pistons!

true, but not the first....... that white corsa was technically the second, and afaik there has only been one c v6 on the road.

V6's are taking over the modding world now! There even fitting them into MR2's (Camry V6 engine & box)

Jack

^ There's been a load of Celicas converted with Camry V6's too.

Sloth, mine is by no means the first 3.0V6 nova either, there's been loads before me. Most don't seem to last long though

You mean 200sx lol.

I sized up a p!ss poor power QX V6 for the Primera once. Not worth the hassle. Your mate has the right idea. CA18DET?

Thats the one limp, im not overly gen'd on nissans, think thats the one, 1800 turbo lump from an S13/S14a iirc, he has holed a piston within two weeks though so its out for a rebuild lol
