Drifter Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Overhauld the clutch slave sylinder and put it together again today. Removed all the interior and carpets. also Removed the intake manifold and exhaust manifold today. ... And found out that I need another exhaust manifold to be able to run the R6-carbs, since the OEM exhaust has a weird watercooling? hole in it..... Does anybody have any sugestions to what datsun exhaust manifold might fit? (one that does not have that weird HOLE on top of it? (maybe even tuned length??) All ideas are welcome :) Quote Link to comment
patra_is_here Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 r u sure that's not too much carb for such a small engine? Quote Link to comment
Drifter Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 r u sure that's not too much carb for such a small engine? ...nope.... :) maybe this one can be customized to fit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/510-DATSUN-HEADERS-w-out-EXHAUST-SMOG-FITTINGS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2a0bb7a784QQitemZ180585211780QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_1251wt_1167 Quote Link to comment
patra_is_here Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 ...nope.... :) can you explain? if those carbs are made for an R6 racebike, then they are set to run at an RPM range that the datsun 1200 isn't going to come near. an R6 reving at 11K flows a whole lot more air than a datsun 1200 at 5K. or have they already been jetted down?

Farmer Joe Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 r6 is 600cc... these will need jetted up some to run on the bigger 1200... zuum510? on here had these same carbs on an l16.. IIRC he drilled the jets the first time and was close enough for it to run and drive... i think he got ahold of a bike guy and got some jets to tune it better from there. Quote Link to comment
patra_is_here Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 r6 is 600cc... ahhhhh thank you sir! Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 i have some itbs meant for a 1200 cc or so bike. they are 44's and i have 3 different jet sizes but never really thought that much into jetting them or getting a manifold made to run them. look forward to seeing the progress! they are for sale currently but this makes me want to run them! ha Quote Link to comment
Drifter Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 By my guestimations, carbs should run with original jets. probably not perfect by no means. But still. Only time will tell... Still waiting for the aluminium bends for the manifold. Gonna make it 90 degree downdraft, with the velocity stacks threw the hood. And have a removable scoop over them when bad weather :) anybody ever seen a pic of a b210 with a scoop/bulge? :) Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 will those carbs run straight up an down? i know on the bike theyre are an angle like you had in the pics before... now i cant guarantee but i can see you maybe running to some issues with them pointin straight up...

Drifter Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I know the cabs are pretty forgiving about angles. Just dont know how much, but they are not far from straight up, on the R6... Quote Link to comment
Drifter Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Got my car inponded :( had to pay 500 euro to get it back. hurts. This hurt the budget bad. so thats why i have been so lazy with updates and progress. Now the car has to be drivable before july, so things is happening again. Just started painting it now. gonna have it ready for a photoshoot by the end of next week :) pictureupdate later today Quote Link to comment
620green Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 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 :) Nice ride. Quote Link to comment
WishDRFTR Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 A datsun built for drifting? Sounds fun! Please post footy after you get it sliding! Quote Link to comment
Drifter Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 It`s always sad when a project slips away, and is never finished.... Luckily this will continiue :) Other things in life has made it very hard to do anything with the little sunny over the last year. For the moment I am on the lookout to rent workshop to start up the "Will it drift" project again. I have ordered a bunch of parts the last mounths tough.. And by now I can tell for certain , that its gonna be a WIDEBODY sunny ;) Quote Link to comment

blackdeth666 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 DAMN!! serious spacers.... Quote Link to comment
Drifter Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I thought it would have been wider... I guess that will do fine to :) Quote Link to comment
Drifter Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I was thinking... is it "ok" to flip the springblades and run them upside-down in the same order as is? I want to go loooow on a budget, and wondering if this will work with shortened dampers ofcourse.(?) Quote Link to comment

I want to go loooow on a budget, and wondering if this will work with shortened dampers ofcourse.(?) My 620 had springs flipped upside down, or so i was told. Had to cut the bump stops, and only had about an inch of really weak suspension. Laecoen <sp> flipped his overload spring and clamped it back down with lower results. still a good ride too i hear... did it to rustina's wagon also Quote Link to comment

I would imagine that the ride will soften or have about the same spring-rate? I am looking for something low, and stiff as a upper lip... Quote Link to comment
