JamesBrittain Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi All, I just wanted to introduce myself as I've been scrolling through the forum for a while but finally got around to signing up. I live in Perth - Australia, and bought my Westfield SEW 2.5 years ago now. Its a 2008 Wide body SEW running a Nissan 2Ltr SR20DE. It was originally a road car but I'm in the process of re-building it strictly for hill climbs & sprints with a new engine due in a few months........can't wait! Anyhow I just wanted to say hi to everyone and I'll be sure to have a few posts soon......,in fact I already have one about my suspension but i'll put that over in technical! Cheers, James.

JamesBrittain Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi Guys, Thanks for the warm welcome. We're in the middle of a heat wave here.......so it's too hot!! its 8:00am in the morning and already over 30Deg.C! Highs over the last few days have been knocking on 40Deg.C and not cooling off much at night! I'll definitely post some pics when I get some. Scott, thanks for the heads up on Adam, I will get in touch with him. The Nissan SR20DE is a very common engine over here for Westfields. The engine I am rebuilding is another Nissan SR20DE. They are a 2Ltr, straight 4 - the turbo variant (SR20DET) is well liked by drifters and Japanese tunning houses for its out of the box strength and ease of tunning. Mine will be built as an NA on quad throttle bodies, running larger valves, a ported & polished head and forged conrods as well as a host of other things. Im hoping for 250HP but might not get there. The Westfield should be off to the workshop in the next couple of month to drop the engine and set up a standalone engine management system. When i have pics of everything i will post them up. I will also start a thread over in technical on suspension - i ahve tried searching for what i want to know but can't find it. Cheers.

User0083 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi James, Looking to move over to Adelaide soon! Well next couple of years. The Nissan engine in a Westfield is the bit that got me! Not heard of that before. What's it like out there for sprints, hill climbs and track days? What are road laws like as well... Here if you sniff past 70 you're treated as if you've robbed a bank a lot of the time! Enjoy yourself and get some pictures up please...
