kiznook Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Sorted out the throttle cable yesterday, it worked before, but the return spring wasn't quite right. Now I've got fresh cable and I can even adjust the tension at the carb! It's almost ready to go back in! Quote Link to comment

kiznook Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Philcas87, nismopu, cityhunter, jtek, mr Marcus, and Nissan chris came by tonight and we got er done! A few hours and a few beers and the engine was in and running. Runs surprisingly well. Only ran it for a couple of minutes, and aside from some low idle pisto slap (which worked out quickly) it sounds good! Quote Link to comment

DRIVEN Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Looks serious! Bet it sounds great. What's up with the camber plates? You running circle track? Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks guys. I am relly excited to have it back together. I cant wait to get the few more little things done so I can drive it! Looks serious! Bet it sounds great. What's up with the camber plates? You running circle track? It sounds fantastic! Pretty much just like before, but healthier. As for the camber plates, I am pretty sure I have a bent strut, that's the closest I was able to get them to aligned. But I've got another set of struts waiting to go in, just need to weld the coilover perches on. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 That cable looks like it might be rubbing. Also the cable is pulling across at almost 180 degrees so it will be stiff just off idle and wear the throttle shaft. When you get time try modding one of these to fit. The cable will now always be at a tangent to the throttle shaft and move freer with less binding and wear. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/throttlecontrolLarge.jpg[/img]"] Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Mike, It's not as bad as it looks in the picture, especially since there's no tension on the cable. Butyou're right about the pulling hard "against" the throttle shaft. I will eventually figure something like you posted, but for now, with the pull piece that came on the carb this will probably do. I have yet to hook it up to the pedal though, so I'll find out how it works later. I hadn't considered wear on the throttle shaft. Thanks, you're always looking out :D Quote Link to comment

kiznook Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Nothing to see here, move along. Any of the cosmetic changes will be made this week, and you lazy keyboard monkeys can see it in person @ Canby :D 2 Quote Link to comment
