New Zealand Datsun Club

looking good, making a nice job carn't wait to see it all finished

looking unreal mate nice to see !!

Cheers guys.

long way to go yet, but I have it all mapped out.

As always, its just a case of time and money.

Will feel a lot better once I get motor cranked up on EFI.... will feel like I have some real progress then.

yum. that is all.

or is it........

SUPER YUM!!!

top that!

(please dont, my car already has abandonment issues coz it knows i dream of your setup)

Mate it will be better than new ! looking mean

well I have worked on car the last 4 nights in a row....
trying to get some momentum going.....

I got under the car and remade the rear main hard brake line.
was a bit fiddly but I did a better job than my original one that I had damaged.
I then ditched my ugly galvanized cheap arse saddle clamps, and
replaced brackets with nice red anodized two piece clamps I got from Ebay UK.
Much happier now with how these look and far stronger, as M4 CSK screws bolt
throught he floor and have nylock backing nuts.




I have finished my new tank drawoff and pre-filter, I am just waiting on
some new hose end finishers the right size to do my braided hoses between
tank / pump and new hard lines.
I have also fitted my new gearbox X-member mount, and made brackets etc
to fit coil, vacuum manifold and catch tank mounted in the engine bay.

I felt like seeing the car on the floor again, so once I finished the hardlines tonight,
I fitted up gearbox and put wheels on and rolled it outside for a photo
My boy Will helped me with pushing car out garage, he has been wearing
the new Datsun Hoody since he got home from school too!





On the purchasing front, I got some Ebay fever and brought new door and windscreen rubbers
out of Australia, new skuttle vents/grills, also brought some silicon hoses, a Headlight relay
upgrade kit to beef up my lighting circuit for imminent H4 upgrade.
probably other stuff too that I have forgotten about.

Where they NEW coupe vents? I always wondered if someone did them as everyone is after them and more often than not they are damaged

phils rotaries sells them new on ebay.com.au

Damn son! looks soooo pretty!

yeah phils rotary - aftermarket type vents.
Mine are mint but a couple of cracks around the screw holes, and couple of layers of paint in them.
be interesting to see quality of the repro ones
