mojojojo78 Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 I believe it is these wires: https://www.datsunspirit.com/product-page/dsi-spark-plug-wires I was trying to look for that nice wire bracket. I routed the wires on my 510 around the front and that bracket would make it look nice and clean. 1 Quote Link to comment

I have those brackets for my 510 and will need the longer wires to fit. Yes it is the Datsun Spirit L6 spark plug wire set (custom made to his lengths). I have them on my Z also but was unable to run the Lonely Driver brackets due to factory AC and the wires come zip tied nice and tight so don't even need the brackets. Honestly on this car it was a big PITA as the lengths are BARELY long enough but I am super happy with the end result. Just need to get some longer vacuum hose for the brake booster so I can run near the firewall then I can get that off the top of the valve cover. The only other thing on top is the throttle cable but don't think I can change that right now....at least not easily. I have the L4 wire set as well that I will attempt to run on my L20B built motor but not sure if they work with the brackets yet. I won't know for a bit as that project is currently on the back burner.

five1oh Posted October 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 took a little maneuvering but made it into my friends driveway and got the car in the air. I love my low cars but getting into the air is quite the process even with a low jack.... Step 1 - drive front wheels onto stacked 2x6's....with the low jack only need to drive up 2 stairs....at my house it is 3 stairs AND 1 in the rear!!! 😂 Step 2 - jack the rear end up - in this case I needed to jack it onto a 4x4 because once up on jack stands the jack wont fit under front end 😂 Step 3 - jack front onto high jack stands Step 4 - jack rear end up onto high jack stands Step 5 - enjoy hovercraft mode Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr 2 Quote Link to comment
five1oh Posted October 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) While my buddy began the work I decided to take a bunch of underbody detailed pics. There is one big "dent" under the front passenger seat like the car landed on a rock or something lol. HOLY SHIT this car is CLEAN!!! See my 2 door thread if you want to see rotten metal.... This car is SO SOLID with no holes. Factory metal everywhere. Yes there is some slight discoloration of surface rust but no cancer. I can't believe how clean this car is. WOW.

five1oh Posted October 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Exhaust system progress. I absolutely love the sound my L20A FLZ made so the goal was to go with a dual divorced setup just like that but for less money. I could've bought a fujitsobo system but would likely have cut up the entire center section like I did on the Z for ground clearance. I decided to use a header I already had and found a $200 divorced muffler on YAJ in the skyline Fujitsobo style so I went that route.

five1oh Posted October 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 So I have driven it a couple days and damn its low lol. My buddy tucked it really well but where the header ends is the lowest part and I am barely an inch off the ground with kids and myself (and that's IF the ground is flat). I am going to continue driving it avoiding stuff but seriously thinking about putting it back in the air and removing 1/2"-1" from the header to raise it slightly lol. We'll see...absolutely love how it turned out and sound as well.

five1oh Posted November 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 Took the skyline on its first super long trek after all the new mods. Car did great except being so low I scraped a few times 😂 No issues with the triple carbs or any other issues. Drove down highway 1 to santa cruz and back for the DWA meet. Another few hundred miles added 🙂 Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr 4 Quote Link to comment
