New Zealand Datsun Club

Hey ten5,
May I ask a few questions?
Firstly, what are your wheels called? They do look mighty fine!
Secondly, How many mm are the '26 ITB's?
Also, what is the approximate current market value of a set?
I do have to say that I love how you put in the hard yards to make your L6 awesome, when so many folk would have just fitted an RB. Maximum respect for chosing the path less taken.

Does the Housing have "LOM59" cast into it ?

No it doesnt it had LW something in it i think, i did check it tonight but i forgot to write it down. Also figured out it is a R30 diff out of a jap spec car not R31 like i first mentioned.

The wheels are August Feroces i acquired them off mr crustywhip. They used to be on his wagon.

The 26 ITB's are 45mm which is quite possibly on the large side for a L6 as im sure my old canon manifold was setup for 40mm side drafts for a L28 but then nothing a bit of runner length cant probably fix to keep inlet speeds up. I know mine arent working as well as they could but then im not going to go any further yet with tuning runner lengths until i get the N42 head on. I paid $250 for mine a year or 2 ago now which is pretty cheap considering your getting 6x throttle bodies. I would say you should be able to pick them up for similar money problem may be finding some is all but then many many people do big single turbo and large single throttle body conversions so shouldnt be that hard.

Also does any one have any recommendations on Nismo LSD diff oil?

I have a fully synthetic LSD oil in either 75w90 or 85w140 I can do you a sweet deal on, if it's not a clutch LSD you don't need LSD additive but this stuff is awesome LSD or not, superior to redline and I can do it way cheaper

Red line heavy shockproof with Red line LSD additive added until clutch chatter goes away.

Am's Oil do a really good shockproof as well but i don't know if you can add additional additives to the Ams Oil or not.

Hey Shannon, getting ot, but what would it cost to get some of your product down here to the (03)? The price of good oil hurts the pocket. But the piece of mind having in your Engine/box/diff is priceless. No doubt you can undercut my trade price down here? The family car is waaaay overdue for a change too..........

Hi mate - definitely pays to run good oil if you want the best life from your gear. There's some rubbish oil out there

I can probably organise for you to be able to go in and collect from one of our distributors down your way to save inter island freight, let me know what you need and I'll sort you a price!

Oh man, that would be epic!
I'll have to work out what I need and get back to you.

So back on topic haha. Got exhaust almost made today. My coby muffler which was going to put at the back ended up being to long so probably going to hack it up and shorten it. So apart from that its done.

And LSD is all back together and in the car, just need to sort out oil to fill her up and sus out the circlips to hold the stubs in away we go. Had to chuck it back in the car to hold the sub frame up while i made the exhaust.

And no pictures cause my phone which doubles as my camera has died but should have that sused in time for wheels and chin spoiler update.

front spoiler mock up.

Looks good, but down here we actually use bolts or screws to hold on our chin spoilers. We find that tape doesn't last long.

Looking forward to seeing this in the flesh at akaroa
