Chuck Most Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wow- you don't screw around, do you? You've made more progress on this one in four months than I've managed to make on any of my projects in as many years. Quote Link to comment

russaroll Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wow- you don't screw around, do you? You've made more progress on this one in four months than I've managed to make on any of my projects in as many years. I try to do something every week. Even if it's just for an hour or two. My goal was to have it ready by June but, lack of muny is slowing me down. Quote Link to comment

russaroll Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 head went to the machine shop monday along with new valve seals and these springs and retainers 1 Quote Link to comment
russaroll Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 this week was good. i got the head back from the machine shop. head studs came in. the rubbing issue is no longer an issue. i bought these mesh wheels for my wagon a couple years ago and never got around to using them. now they have a temp home and some fresh rubber (until i destroy them :devil: ) 155/55 r14 Formoza on 14x6.5 or 7. not sure not ride height but not all the way down. still have a little over an inch to go. turbo mani came in friday. cx racing. i'm real surprised i got it. i woke up this morning to make a delivery for work and it was sitting by the door. the doorbell never went off, nobody knocked, i never even saw the fed ex man. :no: looks like it was well made. time to get down to business. cleaned surface studs in heads on greddy ras on VC on. i know it's rough but, oh well. i just want it to go. i don't care about show. peek-a-boo just a mock up for a nice photo op. i still need to get new ex studs and other misc hardware. until next time. 2 Quote Link to comment

Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Damn you're working fast. Love the ground up approach with all the detail on your suspension refurbish. When you're done you should start to take it out to some of the autocrosses at the Santa Maria airport. There are a couple of us Datsun heads that go to the ones the PCA holds. Quote Link to comment

russaroll Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 didn't do much today. plumbed the turbo, kind of. i need to get a 90 or a longer hose for the water out. v-band flange is on for the down pipe. maxworx fuel rail mocked up. it was the only thing i could find that would fit the new style greddy manifold. the injectors i have won't work with this fuel rail :( time to order another set.

russaroll Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 iv'e been kind if busy. cleaned, repainted, and new seals on the diff. just in case rockauto doesn't have any. i had to get these from o'reillys. it doesn't look it but, it is cleaner this is the first time the car has seen the outside since i first brought it home. wats going on here? spec stage2 it's in, it's in. kind of blurry though it's a tight fit. i think i'll have to push the back of the motor down to get the trans on. bonus pic 1 Quote Link to comment
