    Hey mate nah it was algood just went and went was 2 or so years old then judt while driving went bang,mine was out of warranty hence buying the cheaper option haha

    Because the msd had a built in adjustable rev limiter i decided it would be fun to try and make my own since the msd was gone now, i got a frequency relay module from jaycar yet again and it has the ability to shift a relay when its either going up to or coming down from a certain point which you can adjust using any sort of input ie a wheel speed sensor to have a speed related something happen or to trigger a shift light etc so i decided to use it and wire it so that when it got to the rev limit point i wanted it switched the relay and essentially earthed the wire from the points meaning the coil doesnt fire until the revs drop back down thus making a rev limiter,if anybody wants to know how i can help in my discussion thread

    No updates for a while here just been trying to get out and drive and enjoy the car, a few weeks ago me and my brother and father all went for a drive in our own cars, we were on back country roads and speeding along, about 120 kms and my carlet out the biggest backfire ever,then nothing no power just nothing, luckily my dad hadsome small and i mean tiny wires in his car that we mwnaged to get me home, my 300 odd dollar msd had shit its pants and i had no spark. As you can imagine i was pretty pissed off about the msd so i looked into buying another but couldnt justify costs, so i went looking for alternative options, i found at jaycar an electronic ignition module, essentially doing the same as the msd but minus the capacitors, it was in kit form but was only 67 dollars so i decided to jump at it and have a go to build it myself. It took me a few hours and a few coffees to keep me interested but it was done, i installedit the next weekend and the car started and ran awesome, once played with all the settings on it and adjusting the dwell and my timing the car was running better than it ever did on the msdso heres a fewpics.

    Hey man can you pm some detailed pics of the carbs and the new tops etc? Seriously considering doing this to my L16 but dont want to waste money cheers mate this thing is so cool do ou know how much power you putting out? Or never got thst far? Wat about tuning of the carbs did you need anything special like ive heard of modulator rings and turbo emulsion tubes?
  5. Monsta01
    I understand it is getting hot in the float bowls also and getting a heat shield is something im working on, i kind of want to go electric fuel pump just so i can rid the mechanical pump from the engine bay but do you guys not think its worth it? Cheers

    Hi guys looking for advice, at the drag day before xmas last year when it got really hot my car stalled after the runs, it has since done it to me once or twice sitting in traffic then going to take off, im thinking that it is vapour lock so want to go from my medhanical pump and fuel lines running close to engine to electric pump and braided fuel lines in the hope to keep heat away a bit, what is your guys edperience with stuff like this? The car and engine is a datsun 160j with an l16 so its twin dhla carbs with aftermarket extractors (not wrapped) non crossflow cheers for any help

    Hey mate loving then build, sweet car and im a datsun man myself, as far as carb tuning goes i would say if you can get some cheap or free try a slightly richer emulsion tube even a .14 may solve your problem but if not try a.5 and see what works

    Cool as look forward to hearing what he does and what hp it pulls

    I would stick with 36 chokes aswell for more low down torque just try changing the mains and go from there
  10. Monsta01
    I would honestly say i think the main jet is too big air correcter sounds ok but smaller mainbwould be my try, not alot though, a big bore and high comp 1275 would run 38 chokes but if u havebchoked down to 36 you will get a better bottom end but mains i think are slightly too. Large
  11. Monsta01
    Firstly im not sure if they dyno themselves but talk to palmside auto they do jets and parts, secondky what size main jet are you running? I would expect somewhere in the range of a 145 or so? If youre running bigger than that i would say that may be your problem, the pump jet is just that for accelerating and the idle jet is purely for the progression phase so at cruise you are using the main jet, does it have any stutters or flat spots?

    Hey guys iv never been to an old school meet and would love to meet some of you guys so let me know when next one is on and ill tag along

    Update! Went to a track day a few months back and absolutely hated driving this thing around because of the seats, i desperately needed some new ones, i did a little research on what would fit pretty easily without mods that would need certing, found measurements etc decided on fishnet recaros from an isuzu bighorn, picked them up from the wreckers for 250, pretty dirty but in pretty good condition really, cleaned them up at work with shampoo and a wet vac and with very minor ahd mainly unseeable mods they are in and soo comfy.
  14. Monsta01
    What sorta power were u getting out of that old carb engine and how big was the cam? Was it annoying to drive on the road much
  15. Monsta01
    The clutch is fairly new and iv never felt it slipping before but do you think if i got an uprated clutch it would solve this?
  16. Monsta01
    Ok so one guess was done haha but never the less it was 140 hp, altho im sad to say it wasnt that much it made a very reasonable 87 hp at the wheels not bad i dare say, id estimate that to be around 125 hp at the engine which is not bad for an 8v sohc non crossflow motor, what you guys think? Please let me know also in passing if anyone knows or has any ideas on what my wierd dyno graphs cud b caused by please let me know also, left hand sheet is good run right two are fucked up and unsure why, good fuel pressure, flow, spark everything cheers. Discuss! Please!//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/47808-monsta01s-1979-datsun-160j-sss-discussion/

    Aw good guess but sadly a little on the high side

    Ok so the whole time i have had thenbuilt engine in i have been tuning using a innovate lm2 wideband o2 sensor and a book called how to build and power tune weber and dellorto carbs, i have a pretty good knowledge of what to do now and have rebuilt carbs and have about 3 spare sets laying around, i have tuned it as best as i can get with the tools and jets and venturis i have available to me, it runs very well and i am very pleased with how it runs, the power on cam is amazing and the torque is great for a little ennigne like this, anyone wana take a gues at dyno power? Kw? Hp? At wheels or engine just curious as to what people think and ill reveal in the next few days. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/47808-monsta01s-1979-datsun-160j-sss-discussion/ lemme know

    So next was a few things i needed to do, the cut front spring made for some shitty handling sometimes so had to remedy that with custom made springs and shortened shocks, also jut coz the idea of points bugged me and the electronic ignition module i bought wudnt seem to work no matter what we did i opted for an msd cdi unit which is really cool and gives me a setable rev limiter which i like, then like a year laer i got the adapter to make my tacho go as i had been without one for so long.

    Ok so with car painted and side trims and badges all removed i needed something to fill the void coz so many people dont know what it is so i opted to get custom stickers first obviously is the datsun logo to match my tattoo, then a one of a kind custom, i got the rs1800 escort side decal made into 160j sss i love it to bits!

    Next big change was for the 2013 datsun car club nationals in christchurch, panel and paint was the name of the game, 3 months out the car was checked over and booked in, 2 months out the car was in for wrk and after 8 of the worst weeks ever without my car she was done paneled then painted in fords chilli orange, the bumpers were to be chromed but sum pissing around happened and everythng that was chrome was painted in the silver from the door handles of mitsubishi outlanders (good place to get a colour eh?) it cost me a mint but it was worth every penny.
  22. Monsta01
    Cheers man i love it its awesome, you guys think im doin a gud job?
  23. Monsta01
    Obviously new air filters were in order so i went with k and ns coz thy look pretty cool and flow very well, while i was at it i thought why not finally get some extractors aswell? So i did and the sound is getting more and more awesome.
  24. Monsta01
    So i thought id try a new air filter, liked the idea of a massive foam one was cool to start with untill the darn thing backfired and the filter caught fire

    I had the money and was so in love with the car, the brand everything so this happened haha
