datrod Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Pulled the head off to find out why it was leaking water out the side of the block. After checking everything. We figured out that the builder of the motor didn't install the ARP bolts properly. They came loose. So we are going to check everything again and re install the head. Quote Link to comment

Another fine motor built by Datsun parts LLC and re done by R rated motorsports when it was leaking the first time. good job whats there number again i need another motor built. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nuclear Water Boy Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Strangely enough I have never had bad bp steer and I don't run spacers, even when my car was lower than it is now it wasnt very bad, just lucky I guess Really well then I'd have to say either it's not low enough to cause bump steer or you've really not pushed it hard through a tun with a good bump. Bump Steer, One of those geometry swings with pucker power. Quote Link to comment

Bump Steer, One of those geometry swings with pucker power. Its plenty low and its stiff enough that when I'm in a turn with a bump a tire or two comes off the ground (now that shit will get the oucker going), I dont have a real problem with it because the car is setup properly (for me that is) Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Finished my speaker box, may go back and redo the face plate since it's a little asymmetrical around the tunnel. Also needs to be covered, most likely with carpet. Iphone audio doesn't really do it justice, but it's pretty amazing how much a little resonating space will help bass noise. http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy/media/Project%20car_1972%20Datusn%20510%20Wagon/1258773F-AFB2-4186-97AD-E35A68871C11_zpszxrot1gf.mp4.html?sort=3&o=0 Quote Link to comment
russaroll Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 pulled the vc and found this 20140711_164406 by russaroll88, on Flickr so i pulled the head and found this 20140711_174749 by russaroll88, on Flickr back to the ER Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 wow that motor has like 1000 miles on it Pretty poor build on that motor. They used ARP head studs, But I don't think they installed them right. 4 of them were VERY loose when we got the head off. Good news is no damage to the motor or the head. Did a little port on it and re installed. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Dremped of driving it again since it is blocked in and I can't pull it out. Quote Link to comment

jovial_cynic Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Got the SR running. Turbo motor, but the intake isn't hooked up yet. Compared to the LZ hybrid I built before, this thing is kind of scary. 1 Quote Link to comment
