What are some of the worst engines you've encountered?
"Probably the worst engines Nissan make are the CA18 and VG30. The VGs are a bit like a good Chev from the early days - if you have a really good one, it's got no Chev bits left in it! Look, I've got a VG upstairs - an ex-US1100hp qualifying engine, which originally cost US$114,000. I don't think there's one single thing on it that's Nissan.

"The CA18 is just your everyday shopping engine - it's a shitbox with little rods. A horrible thing."

IS THIS COCKSUCKER FOR REAL!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??? I've seen tougher VG's and even you guys have told me that I have nothing to fear with my engine builder being worried that my cylinder walls are only 4 mil thick! I'm amazed guys like him actually do get the business.
