Hello everybody.

 

Prenote:

Always been a Nissan man, and finaly got around to buying a RWD datsun :)

this is probably not the most serious poroject here, and some people might even hate me for doing this to the poor thing...

I sold my nitrous-enhanced miata NA to finance this, so I cant wait to get it done, and finaly have something fun to drive again!

 

 

I`m totaly new to old datsuns, so I`m here hoping for some help when the times get tough.

 

The starting point after some hours of scrubbing and shining:

 

I need to make the highest possible amount of respons from the motor, so the plan is so far:

- lightened flywheel

- extractors and exhaust

- solid "sinter" clutchplate

- ported and polished head

- compressor

- weber??

 

Feel free to spit out ideas :)

Rolling stock

leftovers, 7,5x16 from an old s13 project

 

got 1mm from the inner edge of the rim to the leaf, and about 5 to the innerwall of the wheelhouse :) Perfect fit!

I think if you are wanting a fast fun car I would do a sr20det swap. I mean it would probily take the same ammount of time to get the sr in there as it would take to get the new engine built.

I am so jealous of your bumpers! And the grill is cool to. Looks like a clean car to start with. Post some more pics of it with the wheels on.

Yeah, probably true, Was thinking ca18det if a swap. I love that bie-sound it makes. pure music :)

Thanks! I need just need some rubber first. Sadbly i promissed the misses to take her on a weekend in venice first.... ^^

 

 

 

sorry for shitty pictures, but some on help me figure out if this is "safe" or not? could get a 2 inch spacer and reweld the wheelarces.... hm....

[nick_m]

I'd say the wheel itself probably would touch the leave spring because the leaf spring is located to the diff via a dowel but unless you have stretched tyres the tyre would probably touch. when cornering

Also you'll probably find the top will touch as the diff will move a round a little bit especially if you're going to be drifting it. Though a panhard bar will help with that.

Its pretty borderline though. Really i'd be aiming for atleast half an inch clearance.

whether its unsafe? Not sure depends how often it touches I guess, its going to sound horrible and annoy the crap out of you definitely.

[Drifter]

Yeah... the rear is probably moving much more around on this thing than anything i have ever had before :/

 

I have decided to go CA18DET by the way. Will probably by a crashed s13 and chnge over anything i can. just gonna start with the engine, but want to do a complete change: s13 subframes front & rear, s13 dash, seats and interior. In general: Build an s13 with a B210-shell...... my dreamcar :) hehe

 

I wonder if its ever been done before......?

 

But first of all: Get a motor

Sweeet thing :) Do you have any videos of it?

Did you keep the stock rear drivetrain, or did you go irs?

hey drifter, no vids. the rear end is stock. so far it has held together pretty well. i have driven it pretty hard so far with no problems. i'm waiting to see how well it holds up when i mount slicks.

Plans for this weekend: New exhaust system. The old system was full of bad do-it-yourself-fixes and holes, so a new one is in order. Decided to go with a 2 inch straight system. I wanted a system that I could modify when a do the engineswap, but didnt want it to be to big for the existing motor either, so concluded that a 2 inch would be the perfect middlepoint. Gonna be running just one silencer in the back for now...

i think a two inch is way to small if you plan on swapping in the ca18det later. at the very least a 2.5 inch system, but hey if you already bought the parts then oh well. i run a three inch all the way. the car is still pretty quiet with the silencer.

[Drifter]

System finished. Had to add a second resonator in the middle. It was way to loud for my taste with just one. (i live in the inner city, so dont want a screamer-pipe) :)

[Drifter]

 

The "tow-mount" is now gone (dont know the english word). Looks cleaner...

:)

Getting there :)

[510kevin]

looks rad with the new wheels! good work!!!!

[67 411]

That does look amazing, I like your choice of wheels a lot.

[Drifter]

Finaly got around to changing my clutchplate. Problem was that it has been between -10 and -17 celcius the last mounth, so cold as f**** for that kind of work. lol

 

 

 

Only two words came to mind: "Toooo late" :/

 

 

Just installed the new clutchplate, and cleaned up the other parts.... Hope it will stick until summertime :)

[b210in]

every time i look at your car it makes me think of how ugly our american b210 bumpers are. your car is looking very nice. can you give us some specs on your tires and wheels?

[Wide14u]

nice build keep going

[Drifter]

A nice set of keihin R6 37mm carbs ordered :) updates will follow

thanx to metalmonkey for help with the planing of the manifold :)

 

Haven`t decided how im gonna make the air-filtering. Probably gonna end up with a "shaker-scoop", or maybe like this:

 

 

... kind of digging the paint-scheeme 2 :)

cool dude! Glad I could help.

 

 

 

I thought about extending the manifolds on mine and sticking them out the hood all badass style. Kinda Pumpkin style

[Drifter]

Just to have it out there: I hate apple mac-book-skit#€%&@@@!!!........

 

 

But, finaly the weather was good; sun and plus-degrees. Perfect to get shit done:

 

Removed the half-busted stock carb.

Gave the valve-cover a onceover with fresh paint.

Testfitted the carbs, and found i got clearance :)

Removed the cracked grill for fix & paint.

++...

That's a badass setup, that will look great with the stacks through the hood
