New Zealand Datsun Club

here is my humble project, and hi to all of you!

Ok here is somethin i do last nighet when imsomnia attacks,
Went downstaresand start mocking up the engine tranny combo,
If you are familiar with Nissan u must know SR20 block castings are different from FWD to RWD
But u can use the FWD one in RWD with some modifications but you cant do the other way around!

Here is what u need to trim from the FWD block to make it fit on the RWD tranny,,,




You need to trim all that to get the RWD starter on its place,
Then in order to atach the tranny on that side a heavy duty bracket need to be fabricated, and that bracket is bolted to the side of the block and goes back to the tranny bellhousing under the starter, this bracket must be minimum 3/8 thick steel or 1/2 inch aluminum,
It will be cool and super strong, this way any SR20 block could be used and i dont have to be obligated to use the ABUSED RWD blocks only!

Pss
By the way those mods is only on the starter side cuz the other side it a prfect fit!

Just in case you guys ask or worried about the amount of material to be removed from the block,,,

Is not that much for real, the RWD casting do not have the starter ring whatsoever and the only difference is the lower ear for bellhousing attachment is in a lower position, thats it, i am just replacing the lower ear with a fabricated bracket that bolts to the engine block next to the motor mount bracket and maybe 3 or 4 oil pan bolts all together,

I do drill one hole on the tranny bell to acomodate the top right hand bolt and use a spacer betwine the tranny bell and the engine cuz the bell is hollow there,

But here is a rugh sketch of what that bracket will look like!

By the way the top bracket is not necesary but i just trow it out there just in case someone ask!

Score a NEW OEM EDM Grill!

New grill just arrive today from Denmark AWESOME, chrome trim deleted, 5 Philips head bolts and is in, wont do grill 1/4 light till i am 100% sure i cant get the JDM bumpers!

here is the block already cut and with the tranny and starter installed,

next will be the bracket fabrication, to make this work the way it should!

Got a freebie today thanks Josh i love u bro!

Well i did receive a bad news from the guys at extrudabody and they cant get me my intake manifold so i am making my own when i got a chance got all the parts already.

Merge collector is here, soon (or when i got a chance) a nice EFING header will be fabricated stay tuned!

Here is a couple of examples of some like this!

I cant wait to see how this one is gonna look with it being a hatchback, haven't seen any like mine so far!
