Dobos 610 Oz style budget build

[zerow]

We didnt get 4 door SSS so i wouldn't want to go putting SSS badges on it. But it will defiantly be getting twin SU's and a 5 speed.

The SUs are what make the SSS. The 5 speed only enhances the deal.

[dobo]

I decided to run an air box instead of just the individual filters. Saves me making a catch can for the crank breathers and also will make road worthy a bit easier i think.

 

JDM SSS goodness on its way to me.

 

 

now for the 5 speed :P

dobo - You do not know how lucky you are to be able to run the correct air filter box. Those of us with the US-specification 610s cannot run that box because it hits the brake booster. Couple that with the fact that I did a brake master cylinder upgrade, and it definitely will not fit. Well done, sir...Well done!

[dobo]

Yeah i know zerow, have noticed this. that must suck having it so cramped on one side of the engine and not on the other

 

SU's are in and running

 

At first they where shooting flames :w00t: but I've adjusted the mixture now, think i need to get some leaner needles.

those running these where do you get needles from, the UK?

[dobo]

So front end is currently apart, buying new bushings when i have the cash

 

Alos parts car came on saturday.

 

also on the weekend my mate nick decided to put his Su's on. found out the inlet ports are tiny on his head and seeing as he had another head that had been ported and decided to do a swap

 

It started raining so we didn't get finished so I've now got 3 180bs that cant move under their own steam sitting at my back door :D

Shangri-La?

[dobo]

bit of an update, some things have happened

My Dad bought another 200b parts car

So i quickly procured the front struts and brakes :D

the shocks are like brand new

so they will go on this weekend(if it stops raining)

 

I also bought front struts and rear discs from an r31 skyline. I know you guys dont get these over there. The fronts need the spring perch taken off as they dont fit in datsun towers. I'm thinking of eventually using these to make coilovers and they run vented rotors so should be a real good upgrade if i do an CA or SR swap.

Rears will be going on sooner, when i run a hydro handbrake probably.

 

 

also 3 guesses what this is.

[Tristin]

A box...

[MicroMachinery]

Taillights?

[Tristin]

And it looks like you bought that from Craig. I'm on my phone so I can't zoom into the picture, but that looks like its Craig's address on the label.

[Will]

I love wheels that look like they were taken off of an old Hot-Wheels car and shot with a grow-ray!

 

[dobo]

yeah it is from Craig. I'll get picks once i get it on :P

 

Struts went in, Car now has some pretty good stance

I'm pretty happy with how it sits now, wheels are 14x6.5 +0 and they fit perfect.

 

And Will, yeah they're pretty funky!!

[ProjectFeint]

The fender mirrors look rad. What kind of springs are those on the 200b struts?

[MicroMachinery]

So.. what was in the F-ing box?

[banzai510(hainz)]

Its NOT good to just pull the cam towers(cam off) with the rockers still on.

 

esp putting them back on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

save this

That 810 wagon is COOL. we got the 6cyl version if you can find them. Most were thrown away.

 

Put some ROTA RBs 15x7s on there and slam it down. Better yet the old school 5 star Simmons from the 90s

^^^^the air cleaner^^^^

So.. what was in the F-ing box?

 

I was thinking the exact same thing !!!!!!!!

[dobo]

been a while since an update winter here sucks to work outside

banzai: yeah i know that know, seen that Vid

Z chopper: It was a buy it now, took ages to get from jap land.

yeah on the airbox correctamundo

 

So i pulled the donk out of the parts car and all related manual conversion gear

This is how we do it Aus style!

 

My mates engine was leaking good so we decided to pull it and do all the gaskets

nearly got it done in a day but ran out of time.

 

So his car running now and Next up is my Diff and interior. updated photo

[Z chopper]

the airbox was sold like seconds before I clicked buy now.

[dobo]

haha unlucky! it was up there for a while. I didn't think they fitted LHD cars?

 

I started pulling the arse out of the car last night. problem with having a bound up diff is i can't rotate the wheels to get to all the trailing arm bolts. one still in there teasing me.

[Z chopper]

it would be a tight fit at best

[dobo]

quick update on my mate nicks car. Hi Nick!

 

He grabbed some 810 struts to make into coilovers the other weekend

 

but got impatient and decided to break out the angle grinder

 

looks heaps boss, sitting on bump stops like a champ

[dobo]

Out comes the sun in Oz land and so do the dattos.

recently I've acquired New Brake MC, rear brake cylinders, 5 Speed and shifter so on the weekend the conversion started.

 

Obligatory picture of auto

 

gave the engine bay a clean

 

While the donks out i was gonna degrease, paint the block/sump, and do rear main seal. anything else that's easier while its out of the car??

[MicroMachinery]

Timing chain/guides if they need it. Crank seal.. check your freeze plugs.
