  1. I apply this to many aspects of my life and it hasn't worked in my favor very often
  2. I'm doing a similar swap into my GS126V except both engines are AFM rather than MAP. The conclusion I came too is that the single cam cars run a different body loom to the twin cam cars. I've resigned myself to the fact that it will require some cutting and splicing of looms to get power where it needs to go there is only a handful of wires that need either constant or switched power. All be it I haven't touched the car for a couple years. Too many projects. This has some useful info if you haven't seen it already https://bluetwentyeight.wordpress.com/tech-docs/
  3. http://shop.ukrtrans.biz/wp-content/uploads/catalogs/A40.pdf took a bit of finding but this is a manual i came across a while ago. The bloody MS112's trans is playing up so may have to delve into it at some stage.
  4. Additional Barry fact: the center throttle layout was mainly due to a lack of space between the brake pedal and side of the body. Many left hook variants of the American cars we saw here in the 10s and 20s were conventional layout (clutch-brake-throttle). Also be careful if you have to hone or bore the engine. I think these the deck surface is off square to the bores by 7 degrees. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure its the 7 they did some sillyness on.
  5. The basic formula is: L20ET manifold TD03 turbo 10 psi wind fuel up The L20ET manifold requires slotting of holes and a bit of port matching. The L28ET manifold doesn't without hogging a shit load of metal out of the head. No.6 does get hot with a turbo so an intercooler and clearing out your coolant passages would be a good idea. 10 psi is a safe level of boost and will give you more kick, decent fuel economy, and only reduce your engine life a bit. The fuel screw on your pump will need adjusting for more fuel but it will smoke like a train off boost. I have heard of people running 20psi but not sure how long engine lasted. We've had a shit load of fun with @- i5oogt -'s LD28T Cedric but due to a crap cooling system its been overheated 1 too many times and the engine is a bit sick. So keep it at a normal operating temp and EGT below 650c and you should be sweet. But just remember you will shorten your engine life.
  6. What side of CHCH are you on? I could come have a look after work one evening if you want.
  7. Has "Invite only" show to keep it classy Invites Ford Model As? Bloody barrys
  8. Actually got it running on it's carb tonight. 3.5 cylinders but close enough.
  9. Finally got a spare moment to get pics on the interwebs Whats disappeared is the front structure on the right side for the suspension mounts and engine And holes where they shouldn't be. There is lots of rusty parts on the lower section but most of the stuff above the sills is pretty sound.
  10. That KE36 rear wasn't very watertight off the top of my head. And being so low and having no suspension it was a bit of a shit to tow according @76rolla_gurl. Looked cool. Not sure where it is as both car and trailer have been sold.
  11. @Avenga would you have a set of brake drums surplus to requirement? A friend needs some to upgrade the brakes on his model T Ford.
  12. Lol. Saw that ad. I wonder how much grief thats causing VTNZ staff.
  13. Carjam doesn't like chassis numbers that arnt the 17 digit one on the rivited tag. Best go to the place doing the compliance and talk to them first. Get a written list of what paper work you need.
  14. Why do you need proof? The compliance officer will have that information available to them.
  15. All they changed is the styling, brakes, ball joints, seats/dash/upholstery. TBH I like the lean lines of the 230 compared to the 330.
  16. Not sure, @kicker will know, I looked at getting a complete Weber kit off Ebay but too spendy ATM. I'd like to see someone fit this ITB kit https://datsunspirit.com/shop/itb-setup-for-l6/ Unless you modify the rest of the engine (cam, port job, extractors, higher compression) Triple sides are not really any advantage over twin SU carbs except for epic dorts.
  17. Mate who was going to do the rust work moved workshops so didn't have any time to fix it. So not much has been done as of late. I need to decide the overall goal for the car because I want to keep working on my Chrysler. Crowns and Skyline are first on the list though. Too many cars.
  18. You don't know the story of that Honda do you?
  19. hehe errrm about that. Ive rebuilt the master cylinder so Ive got brakes now. But its missing and diesel knocking at cruise did it a little on the way back from Hanmer but was really bad this morning. Probably a lazy injector.
