Datsun411SSS Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 The swap was completed yesterday! The DOHC pretty much dropped right in... Only issue I ran into was I had to remove the battery tray as it would interfere with the intake manifold and throttle body. Wiring was extremely easy and got it done in 15 minutes. I also had to use a oil filter relocator as there was no access to do oil changes once the motor was in. Still got a few things to do like exhaust, radiator, shifter and other misc things... here is a video of its first starting up...Cant wait to drive it. 1 Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 you fabing a heat shield for the brake and clutch masters? Quote Link to comment
Datsun411SSS Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yes I am. After a small drive I noticed it gets quite hot in that area... I have left over sheetmetal that I used for the oil pan. I am still trying to figure out how that is going to be secured. I an also currently in the look out for some springs with a higher spring rate. Does anyone know what the spring rate is on these 411's? Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Are those door mirrors mounted on your fenders? They look nice. Hows the project going? Quote Link to comment
Datsun411SSS Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Are those door mirrors mounted on your fenders? They look nice. Hows the project going? Im not sure if these are specified to be door mirrors, I got them online and didnt say. I guess they can be installed both ways. I have seen them more commonly on the fenders. Project is going good.. I shorted the ecu by accident and just got it running again last weekend. I drive the car every once in a while. Still need a few more parts in order to plumb in the t3/t4. Quote Link to comment
Datsun411SSS Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Here is a quick video of how the car sounds. I have to fix that exhaust rattle heard when I am backing up.. Turbo is still not plumbed in into the intake manifold so technically it is still N/A. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sounds great, Love hearing the turbo spool up. Pretty loud fuel pump eh? 1 Quote Link to comment
Datsun411SSS Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yea it is. It is a Walbro 255lph inline pump. Inside the car its not too loud. Just loud enough to know its running lol Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Anything new on the sedan? Quote Link to comment
Datsun411SSS Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Anything new on the sedan? Nothing new.. haven't done anything to it in a few months now. Still need to order the intercooler, BOV and wastegate. This might seem a bit odd but I also own an american car, a 97' Mustang Cobra which alot of my funds go towards it in modifications.. Here she is :thumbup: 2 Quote Link to comment
jfbrink Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I'm very curious to know where you end up putting the intercooler. Have you made any progress with that since May? Best, Jesse. Quote Link to comment
Datsun411SSS Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hello all, the car has been on the back burner and finally decided to work on it a bit.. I just had a shave off a little off the bottom of the bumper to be able to slide it up higher as it sat even lower. Only thing ive done is mount the intercooler however I still need to run the piping for it. Here is how it sits now: 1 Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 holy shit welcome back sergio, glad to see this thing is still being kicked around. get it done and take it to canby! I haven't seen Sergio or this car for 3 years. Glad that he is still at it. Love those original fog lamps, good thing RL411s are prewired for them [less the light switch which is a separate part number]. Sergio, take your time and this will be a real eye opener! Maybe JCCS number ten? Quote Link to comment
Datsun411SSS Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Haha thanks guys. Yeah it should be done by JCCS 2014. Its just little things left to do. With a baby on the way and my other projects, its hard finding free time to finish it off. I am hoping to run the intercooler piping within the next few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Babies do take priority! Then there's the next 18 years. well it isn't till they hit preteen years that you really have to start worrying. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 well it isn't till they hit preteen years that you really have to start worrying. Unless they're girls! The "best" advice I ever heard [and didn't follow] was "When they reach their 11th birthday. lock them in their rooms until they reach their 16th birthday." Unfortunately that's when the real problems begin, namely 16+ year old boys. Seriously, Good Luck, and many more to follow.

Old Irish toast "Here's to your good health, and a child every year, married or not!" it is the preteen years that you have to worry about your daughters even more with all the preteen and early teen boys and it gets worse as the daughters get older. remember with a son you only have to worry about one boy, with a daughter you have to worry about ALL the boys.
