RUNAMUCK

On a Valiant, you just jack the bastard up, and undo a bolt. (Then get the camber corrected with a wheel alignment)

Seeing those flares, you gotta slam it now! It would look mean as.

I was all set to come. But I'm going down to fight the fire down south tomorrow, and wont be back till sunday night.

I'm pretty gutted, but it means more coin to spend on my ride.

Win some lose some.

Take note of what time tha morrie runs aye.

NA fuck no i'll be going for a look I ment i was boycoting taking my car ...

Shit no, Im not offended in the least! I shake my head and laugh down my sleeve at the bogan munters there too. But The rangiora Car show is more my seen than the four and rotas. I think it's pretty much a given than you're going to get fuckwits at any car event. If some cunt threw something at my ride, I'd make orphans or their children.

I choose not to attend 4 and rotas, But I stop short of saying boycot it.

Or have I mistconstrued your post? Were you saying you'll be boycoting it, or everyone should? Thats what I thought you were saying.

It's funny, I steer clear of the 4 and rota show cos of all the hairy arse dickheads with their jeans around their knees, and their hats on backwards.

Maybe I'm a closet bigan. Just that I wear by black clothes and mullet on the inside.

I'd rather wander around in the sunshine guzzling an 8%440, than be packed into a stadium full of pimply cretins ooohing and aaahing over shiny wheels and other ricer shit.

Some would say he's ruined a perfectly good triumph, others might say it's a waste of a rotory engine.

I was in traffic today, and I saw a brownish coloured triumph with mags. It was sitting at the lights down Moorhouse ave, and Pulsing away brap brap brap brap. Crazy aye? I never thought I'd see a rotorised trumpet.

There is (or was) 140j datsun on trademe with a vr4 motor in it. He wasnt asking much for it either.

The limiting factor with this method is if you fully slam your car, the shock still had the potential to bottom out internally. Where as with a shrtened shock that can't happen. I was hsown this trick originally by my warrant man. I remember riding in rx2's with cutties. They used to bottom out the shocks, and ride super rough. In time this fucks the shocks beyond repair. But it's fat that with sum pipe and and angle grinder you can slam your car and still have captive springs.

That one has a Rover V8 from memory, has the big box rear bumper eh?

Good cunt, need more pictures of this y40 powered Minor.

Cheers,Chris

Thats the one. I though it had a 308 in it? Maybe you're right. 15 years ago or more there was an unfinished one with a 308 in it for sale in the buy,sell

and exchange. I always assumed that the green beastie was the same car.

I shun repco and supercheap. They are on par with mcdonalds in terms of the calibre of their staff. BNT are the shit. Plus I get HAMMER deals there Rip

Every

Poor

Cunt

Off

A mate of mine over in Akoroa had a Y40 and auto up untill recently. I almost bought it off him to stick into an A31, but I just couldn't justify it.

There's another V8 morrie kicking around Christchurch, but a sleeper it aint. Metallic green with a kinda body kit.

I'll be racing on the 20th, so I'll get to see it in the flesh hopefully.

That fella sold the coupe quite recently. It won "best modified datsun" at the southern festival of speed in dunedin back in Feb. Not bad considering we (The datsun club) had 36 cars on display.

But yeah, NZPC is gay. They have shitloads of pages of "look, you need this stuff for your drifter" pages. Which are actually paid ads by some outfit selling overpriced trinkets for modern (Read shit) cars. But are as close as they seem to get to tech. Ricer car building is all about swapping parts for new ones. Any loser with a wad of cash and no skill can do that.

I have slidehammer if you want to give that a try. Maybe Chris or warrick could weld up the holes after you pull them out.

The black coupe? My mate John built that. (If it's the same car) He just recently sold it. Used to have the P/Plate SKDMX. Fuck it was (is) mean as.

what about this 140j.. never seen one before..

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 269123.htm

The 140/160J is one of datsuns best kept secrets. They are awesome cars.

Yeah, car thieves are douchebags. They should be burned at the stake along with pedophiles. Or evn better still have a petrol soaked tyre placed around their necks and set ablaze. Or be neailed to a cross and have paint stripper brushed on their nuts. (Moral of this post, don't get caught trying to steal my car)

When I used to own my RX3 coupe if I got pissed at somewhere, I'd sleep in it with the steering lock on and the alarm armed. One time my mate (who was going to sober drive me home) couldn't wake me up. He was getting dodgey looks from people 'cos he was in the pub parking lot banging on the window of a boy'd out rotor with the alarm going nuts. Took ages to get me to wake up............Good times

What a jackass!

If you ever come across real old car mags the QnA is actually of some use, and the cars featured don't suck.

True true! I'm the guy with the White datsun. I got a ride to the gas station with you that day the useless buggers (I suppose they are only volunteers) didn't bother to arrange any race fuel sales.

I'm hoping to make the 20th as well.

What town are you in? I've spoken to a bloke with an injected torana at the drags a few times. Are you him?

It must be a low kms job. I get lung cancer everytime I see a mitsi drive past.

I was refering to the model before yours though aye. There was a yellow one in one of the high octane vids.

Fuck it.

Set up the DTI over number one piston with the head off. Wind the crank over untill the piston reaches the top of it's stroke. (When the DTI needle stops moving, but no further) note where the degree wheel is. (Mark it if need be) Wind the crankshaft in the other direction untill the piston reaches the top of it's stroke again. Make a mark. The point in the middle of these two marks is true TDC. This is because there will be a few degrees of dwell at tdc. Place a pushrod in the inlet hole for number one. Place the dti above it so that the pushrod is as vertical as possible. This will allow the DTI to measure the cam lift as acurately as possible.

Wind the camshaft around untill the dti shows .050 of lift.

Check the cam spec sheet. It will say something like cam timing at .050,

inlet opens @ 7.5' BTDC . (Or something) Starting from your true TDC, wind the crankshaft forward (or back) the desired number of degrees. then assemble the timing chain etc. You really need an adjustable cam gear. (Kelfords sell these) Or you set up your cam sprocket half a turn out, and drill a new dowel hole into the end of the cam. (on an A series Datsun motor)

Once you've tighened up your adjustable gear, (If you bought one) wind the motor over clockwise and check the number of degrees on the degree wheel when the DTI reads .050 as the valve is closing. This should match the Valve closing timing on the cam specs. Then to be extra sure it's right, check the opening and closing timing on the exhaust valve too.

If you run your cam a wee bit advanced, (Have the valve open @.050 before the number of degrees in the cam specs) The engines powerband will be slightly lower in the rev range. And if you run it slightly retarded, the powerband will be later in the rev range. As a motor wears the cam timing will become slightly retarded and a used motor will begin to feel like it revs a bit more freely.

I reckin the '79ish mitsi lancers. They are the slowest car I've ever driven. It couldn't pull a black man off its daughter. But, they are rear wheel skid. Plus lots of old fogies have owned them. You could pick up one with a good body and a smokey motor (what mitsi isn't a smoker?) for bugger all. Just screaming out for a repower and some old school enhancing. Every man and his dog is dropping rotors/4ag/ca18/sr20's into 323/starlet/ke/dattos. The mitsi's seem to have been forgotten. (my dad used to own one, FUCK it was PUSS)

You will need a DTI and a degree wheel.

The rest is on the net, just do a search.
