New Zealand Datsun Club

I ordered a R200 moustache bar from Datsport about a week ago and it arrived today! I know a lot of you will say I should've just modified my factory one. But I wanted something thats been tested and proven to work so no issues further down the track.







A few weeks ago I got this internal fuel pump for the intank set up i'll be using was a bit cheaper than a walbro and still the same rating at 255l/hr. Nick is mounting up an R32 skyline cradle in the tank for me.


Just need to run the new send line with the 3/8 bundy tube I have and once the fuel tank is done I should be able to start her up!

Wahoo, great to hear Greg, I look forward to that start up video too!!!
IS that really an R200 Long? Looks short when it is that fat.

Is definitly an R200!

Right.( just came by, away for a few days)
That is great, keeps the suspension captive, no floating springs when off the pavement.

Cool.

I got brand new seals for my diff about a week ago and finally got the motivation to install them today. One side went in fine but the other side is proving to be difficult I tried to force it in but that just damaged the seal so now I need another new one . Feels quite burred where the seal is meant to sit so will need to sort that out and buy a new seal to replace the one I stuffed. Cant put the new oil in till thats done too. Feeling rather annoyed that I couldnt finish off my diff I decided to grease up the moustache bar bushes and install them into the bar ready to go once the diff is done. More good news though Dan1200SSS is coming round tomorrow to help me with my turbo dump pipe another thing to check off the list before start up

Hey man, just been checking out all the posts on your project, looks awesome, you have put in a ton of work! will keep following it, nice work!

Thanks mate! It sure is a labour of love hoping to have her done this year

This should read " I WILL HAVE IT READY FOR AKAROA THIS YEAR" Greg

That's the goal Hayden!

Pictureless update but the rear end is out now so I can grease up all the bushes, somehow managed to overlook that when I put them in a while back. Also rear crossmember is ready for slotting to take out some negative camber and increase toe in slightly, any tips to what I should use to slot the holes? Die grinder? I dont have access to a gas plant but could imagine that getting quite messy in the wrong hands. I can use compressed air work but a die grinder will take a while/noisy as. Fuel tank is finished! Will be picking that up tomorrow night hopefully so will get more pics in the next couple of days.
