^Hawr, thanks for comments. There is a reply button btw, it puts my message in nice little quotes. Thanks, I'll definitely pick this up then. Just the clutch, header, crossmember and I can drop the engine in! fun.

Cool, thanks. They have the top end performance one on ebay for $20 more than their shop, but its free shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/...s#ht_2601wt_941 Where to get it ceramic coated? I looked it up, and I don't have a spare oven to cure the paint if I do it myself. The stock manifold is a square-port L20 without the smog stuff though I have to get the exhaust welded back on anyways, so I think a header would be worth it. I'm building for a street prepared autocross/weekend fun car. I'm probably going to tow it to an exhaust shop to get it welded, unless someone from the bay area will do it for me on the street in front of my house on cheap jackstands. :D

Yes I searched, I didn't get the answer I wanted. There are two headers on ebay that fit an L20, one is for a 510, one is a "shorty header". Question: Which one will I want to be sure I can get my car as low as I want(Probably wont be THAT low... on 13"s) and not have to worry about the header? Either? 510 headers, http://cgi.ebay.com/...#ht_1273wt_1167 shorty ones, http://cgi.ebay.com/...#ht_1102wt_1167 I'm in no hurry, planning to get it in the next few weeks. Thanks. :D

^Paint looks nice. I got a question about the transmission, in mine the gears are worn down more than what yours look like. Is it still worth rebuilding, or finding a better condition one to rebuild? Thanks. :D

Son of a bitch! The check engine light came on... Will check it out tomorrow. :( Edit, was just the EGR stuff...

I'de prefer to be able to go around a corner, personally. Still a cool car. ^That V12 datsun looks insane.

I wonder if anyone would dare to swap this into a 510? GLWS. :D

I think I spotted a white Datsun 1200 coming up park blvd yesterday coming the opposite direction. It sounded pretty sweet. I scrambled for my phone, but it was out of range and my e-brake does not lock the wheels so I could not do an epic U turn around and stalk them for pics... :( /excuse

OK, I'll check it out. Thanks for the link. :)

Nothing comes on/flashes while I'm driving. No check engine, nothing. The AFM seems to be fine now that I have the vacuum hoses in the right order. Still, I'll see if there are any error codes.

I already set it to top dead when I took it apart, and put it back together the same way. I'll fittle with the timing later. Also, how do I check the codes? I've never done it before. I'll check out the shop manual and see if I can... It only bubbles when I have been driving a long time, it does not if I idle from initial start-up. Power is good, temp is good, everything seems good so far.

It does not bubble if the car is not hot, I'll try running it with the rad-cap open and see if it bubbles. It started boiling only after I'de been driving for about 15 minutes. Its a 195-degree thermostat so its fully possible its just boiling. It was a very hot day. Temperature has stayed at the exact same level since I've done the repair. The car still does not have much low end, but its better than it was before so I'm happy.

The motor revvs fine, quicker than before. The transmission slipped before, but now its running perfectly, shifts are much quicker and the torque converter grips better. Oil looks great, the temperature is much better with the oil cooler I installed. Damn, just a typo! :( I'll see what I can do with the timing when its cooled down a bit. There is a hissing sound after the car has been running, something is leaking. I'll see if I can find it. EDIT, sorted!! Two vacuum lines where swapped around. I was wondering why the intake was so quiet... LOL The left most tubes in the correct order: Also after I just went for a test drive, there is steam coming from the radiator cap, and a bubbling sound. The engine temp is perfect, is this ok? Maybe I over-filled the rad? I didn't exceed 3,000RPM's while I was test driving it... ambient temp is approx 90-95 degrees F.

OK I got a pretty big problem, today its over about 90 degrees here, quite a hot. My car has been performing like crap I just took it out once to go to the store and I had nearly no power coming up the hill to my house. I was in 2nd gear aprox 2500-2800RPM(4spd ratio's suck) and had nearly no acceleration, I tried shutting the AC compressor off with no effect. Any ideas?! It would do this before the job sometimes also, this is what I was trying to fix. I really don't think a 3L v6 should perform this badly. temperature is fine, oil is full, coolant is full, no leaks...

Hahaha, awesome. Too bad there are not more pictures of that car.

IT RUNS! Pics soon... edit, Video soon...

If you've got 14" or bigger wheels you should be able to bolt-on some re-man 280zx brakes for the front. Not sure about rebuild, but rockauto sells kits for it.

Well, I'm changing the oil again in another 1000km's so I may look into that bigger filter when it comes time. Yeah, I've wanted to put big tires on this for traction for a long time. Unfotunately I have limited funds for this car since I put everything of mine into my Datsun currently. More pics... I've been searching ffor this f*ing bolt for 3 hours. Only to find it rolled under the jack stand.

Meh, if I get a bigger one eventually I'll probably get some like they put on the skyline GTR's. ^Do they sell these wheels in 5x114.3? Shame that I cant afford something like this with SS lines.... Eventually I want to put some old-school looking wheels and flares on this one.

Don't they have one for an L16? Anyways, would be f*ing awesome to see one on a Hakosuka GTR. :)

Its currently 11:52 pm and I still have lots to do. Hoping to hear it revv before I go to sleep. I will make a vid of the start-up. Meh gave up and went to bed at 5:00... Almost all back together. Dont have a pic of the current status, but here are some others. Attached the rice burner. Awesome. I could have mounted it behind the grill... But it would not have looked so ricery.

This is the truth.

Head is going on tonight.

If only I could afford coilovers... Fuckit, I'll hella-cut my springs.
