New Zealand Datsun Club

Cheers Everyone . Not to bad for a motor that hasnt been run in about 2 years. It was more then happy to start after Dan realised Im a moron and when swapping the fuel lines round I had put them on the wrong way . So there was a take one video of it not starting as it was getting no fuel haha.

Not really much required to make it driveable, just need to sort my driveshaft and clutch lines. And then not so important things like the exhuast and brakes haha.

Big cheers to Dan on the wiring job, he has done such an amazing job on it and it all looks sweet and obviously works perfectly. I owe that man a few beers . Ill now allow him to go to Europe for a much deserved holiday!

That's awesome dude! I was hoping to get mine started before Dan goes but Im such a slacker I dont think I will now

Just make it happen greg.....easy as

Looking good you've made it look easy definitely a tighter fit then I was thinking you got any tips? What you doing for the clutch? Does heater box still fit with the bigger tunnel?
Thanks

Thanks man. I definitely would say if I was doing it again I would set the motor back into the fire wall..Obviously a lot more work or would cost more if you cant do it yourself but definitely would make a few other things easier (and also give better handling with the weight being lower and further back)

Because my one isnt set back I can still fit the heater box with the bigger tunnel (as the tunnel isnt really much bigger then standard). If you are setting the motor back then I would imagine you would come across issues with mounting the heater.

Clutch has been changed to hydraulic which ill take some photos of to show you how we have set it up. Not sure what master cylinder Nick has used for my car though as he did all the fabrication. Still needing to run clutch lines to have that side of it all up and running but will take some pics to show you how its set up.

Those turbo mags look pretty gd with the paint stripped off, wht size r they and wht size tires?

Yeah thanks man they really have grown on me, they are 14's with 195/45/14

Pretty sure we used a GTir Pulsar clutch master for yours. But most any fwd nissan clutch master from that era should work as they have remote reservoirs. Honda integra/civic ones should work too as they are pretty much the same basic design

I'm thinking of getting a standard Silvia throttle cable modified or just buying this http://maddat.com.au/products/md066.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; not sure where in chch can modify then or how much but opinions would be great. Been looking at buying the maddat strut brace so figured would get both at same time depending on opinions?

guy on halswell junction rd called diggers brake and cable do cable repairs and modification. pretty good
