kiwi510

Finally popped her cherry, removed all three cats and old exhaust manifold, put some custom built extractor and a couple of resonators on it and has made such a difference! Looking nullify the air pump and emissions stuff soon and then putting a decent filter on it. i will post picks soon. Off to Highlands in Cromwell on the weekend to put her in the car show, is anyone else heading there?

Have been thinking that I want to a couple of mods to my rx7 without dramatically changing the original components of the car, due to how tidy and original this Californian car is. I have been toying with doing something like this.... http://youtu.be/-JCUCl3OdsI With a very conservative setup as to prevent damage to the engine. Using one of these kits... http://www.holley.com/05090NOS.asp What do people think and what are peoples experiences with low power NOS applications to stock street cars?

Hey dude, yes has been too long however have a garage and another mint project. Sad to hear the 510 is getting an sr! Would have gone a little more old school. That z18 was cool! Next time I am in chch will definitely catch up with a few of the crew. Plans for the rx7.... not sure but will be something different while keeping it kind of original?

Sticker is already gone, that pic is from the day I picked it up. .

Btw does anyone know what ever happened to my old 510?

Yes has been too long, but finally have an empty garage and a really nice example of a Gen 1! Kyteler... you will be the first person i call into see when i eventually get it down to invers And yes it might have had a plate like that not long ago Evan, but not anymore. SFOS was epic back in the day!

Hey Everyone, It has been several years but I finally have another car since selling my red Datsun 510. I have always wants a Gen 1 RX7 and finally 3 weeks ago I travelled to New Plymouth and drove a mint original one back to Dunners. I will post pics below, however here are the specs: Generation 1, Series 3 1985 87000 miles Left hand drive - US import, 2 seats only 12a original engine GS model with AC, Cruise control, tape deck, electric mirrors, automatic choke Color - Desert/New Trad Has a genuine RX7 leather? nose cover Origninal everything I am not planning to do too much to her for a start, just tidying and maybe a tweak or 2. Discuss; //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/41626-kiwi510s-rx7/

there is a minter cruising around the streets of uni in dunners, stock as.

i would love a 160j as a daily driver, when the 510 gets to big and scary to drive every day. i know where a 140j shell lives in this part of the country, dont know body condition but it will probally be rusty as. what are the major exterior diferences between the 160 and 140j????? Hey Paul u need to get that puppy ready for the SFOS next year

This is my datsun original enginebay stripped out still with L16, but looking a bit better got the turbo bug, and in goes the z18et almost finished So currently the turbo has been rebuilt and is waiting to go back on.

No oil restrictor might be a good start, as i am just running an oil pipe into the turbo at the moment as the factory one was missing. i am wondering weather the plugs were petrol fouled.

thanks for the reply........restrictor to the oil feed????? there is an oil sender unit which i have attached the oil feed to. the smoke is definately white grey, and there is no oil coming out of the filler cap. so there could be oil fouling the plugs from the turbo yet no oil in the intake pipe??????

If your turbo shits itself and starts blowing smoke out the exhaust, do you normally find oil in the intake pipe running into the engine(no intercooler)???????? Mine is smoking hard out, and the plugs are oil fouled, just recond the head with valve seals, acid clean and pressure test so no issue there. Dont think its the pistons as they looked fine when i had the head off. Any help would be greatly appreciated
