New Zealand Datsun Club

Right. I finshed my egine mounts last week but only got them welded up yesterday by a good sort Sergeant who's been welding for 25 years so they look aight!

Also got My turbo oil lines today so I fitted them up and went and got some fittings. It looks rad!

Also rewired all my alternator wiring and starter wiring today for the different alt and starter.

This weekends job is to whip the motor out, put on the flywheel and clutch, repaint the engine bay if I feel the need, slap some new mani gaskets on, Figure out where all the stupid stuff on the motor goes, and hopefully slap it in for the last time!

Like a Boss!

Im thinking about the air to water intercooler if I can find one cheap.. but if not it'll be pretty easy too refit the front mount piping i had for the Z18, and also I think i'll have enough clearance from the clutch master the the inlet plenum, but if a pulsar remote one pops up i'll probably buy it!

Right
I havent done a whole lot lately, Gave the engine bay another lick of paint on the weekend, have ordered in some new flywheel bolts and manifold gaskets. once they arrive i'll put the motor all together properly and then slap it in and leave it in. Then it'll just be things like wiring, changing the front mount piping, and change around the dump pipe a bit and then we should be running!

how much they sting you on flywheel bolts matey?

Not sure yet, probably around 10 or 15 i'm hoping, I haven't brought them yet, still waiting on a price!

bahhhh I go away for a few months and I come back to this? what happened to the z18? put it back in

haha yeah the CA was a bit of an impulse buy, and I couldn't be bothered buying a new afm for the z18 haha.

Little bit of progress lately. got some seats out of a wrx as the crx ones were pieces of crap. mounted them up the other day and they fit nice! super comfy and bucketed!
also whipped my dash out as i'm gona get it recovered. am going to make up some door cards hopefully next week also and then buy some new carpet of ebay.

I'm also thinking that i'll get the CA running on the factory computer first to get it certed and wof, then down the track a little i'll put the megasquirt in. but i cant be bothered with dicking around with tuning ect at the moment as i want it running by the end of the year.

I'm also on the lookout for a CA engine loom to get it going on, i have a factory ecu for it..

Im coming home for xmas. Hopefully catch up for a beer and pine of your coupe!
