  1. About 1030ish in the car park opposite the Shell service station, sort of opposite that skate park thing......... Bart you cant really go changing the plan at this late stage, as Bede and me have sorted out the locals(that can go) to meet up with you guys there, yes I understand the extra distance etc, but hey next time we will be more organized, as the Datsun site will be running etc and most people will not see your change of plans on this site(as they are not on here), even tho I know you know 99% of the CHCH boys who are coming, it would be just a tad unfair to those who didnt know.
  2. You should use this time to work on that 510!! I am 99% sure I will be there. If I am not, I will make sure you get your chrome bit.
  3. Listen to that man......... he knows his stuff. BTW John is a top bloke, your ceddy is in very very good hands.
  4. Will talk to you about that on the cruise.........
  5. Yeah I did, thanks for the help.
  6. Nah really need pictures, But thanks for that tho.
  7. Did the normal google search and came up with jack shit. Any one out there got pictures or links etc.........
  8. You may have won the Battle, but the war is never over
  9. Cheers Brendan. But I sourced most of the parts to rebuild the A14. The problem I am having now is trying to find a set of STD size flat top piston's so I can rebuild the A15 for Monty, as I think the A14 will end up in the wagon, well maybe??? Who know's?? LOL oneday you will see the light at the end of the tunnel. A12GX?? Nice, but make sure it has the right head, the one with the bump's Another 2 door!!! Bugga me mate and I though I was bad......... Found a 180B(610) wagon the other day......... Hmmmmmm What to do........
  10. Nice........... Had one of them years ago. Was one of those with the factory boxy flared guards etc. Was way to young to realize what it was and stuff. So we paddock bashed/river bed rolled it.
  11. About half way between Levin and Palmerston North
  12. That's true, as I did buy all new stuff for my set up. Put in a surge tank. I was getting fuel surge around town with out one when I had only 1/4 of tank of gas. The surge tank will save your motor from running lean and stuff, it worth just for that alone.
  13. That will work to supply the surge tank.
  14. I think you would be right, as the motor wasnt dialed in right. Some B310 Sunny's in Japan came out with EFI on both A14's and A15's, plus so did some Fork lift's. Was a JDM item only, as far as I know.
  15. By the looks of it you have done a bloody good job. Nice work on fitting the flares. Has given me idea's etc
  16. Thanks Bart. Here's What I have found so far............ Dont you just love copy n paste!!! The Procedure to Degree the Camshaft 1. The dial indicator and stand must be attached securely to the engine. Any deflection could cause an error in your readings. Using the number one cylinder as a starting point, hand rotate the engine in a normal direction (clockwise, when standing in front of the engine) until the intake valve is closed (the lifter is down on the base circle of the cam lobe). If the intake manifold is off the engine, mount the plunger of the indicator directly on top of the intake lifter itself. If the intake manifold is on the engine, you can use the pushrod as an extension to the dial indicator and mount the plunger tip directly on top of the pushrod. In either case it is important to make sure the angle of the dial indicator plunger is the same angle as the lifter or pushrod travel. We want to read "straight line" (linear) movement of these parts, so the plunger must be aligned properly. With the indicator in position, set the dial indicator to zero. 2. Hand rotate the engine in its normal direction of rotation while watching the dial indicator. As the lifter starts to move up the opening side of the lobe, the reading on the dial indicator will start to increase. Continue rotating the engine until the dial indicator shows .050" of rise. Stop and take a reading on the degree wheel and write it down. 3. As you continue to rotate the engine, the reading on the dial indicator will rise up to the maximum lobe lift. The lifter is now on the top of the lobe. (The maximum lobe lift is shown on the spec card and can be verified at this point if you wish.) Continue the rotation and the lifter will start down the closing side of the lobe. Carefully watch the dial indicator as the numbers descend. When the indicator descends back to the .050" reading, stop, take a reading from the degree wheel and write it down. Rotate the engine and return to the base circle of the lobe. The dial indicator must read zero again to be sure the process was correctly done. 4. You now have the two important readings from the degree wheel, both taken when the dial indicator read .050". One reading as the indicator was ascending on the opening side, the other when it was descending on the closing side. Compare these numbers to those on your camshaft inspection card to verify the position of the intake lobe. The camshaft specification card provides much information, but the numbers you are most interested in for the degreeing of the cam are at the bottom of the card. In the box identified as "Cam timing at .050" Tappet Lift". (Just a reminder, the word tappet and lifter mean the same thing. This can also be expressed as .050" lifter rise.) Inside this box are the degree readings that the degree wheel would show for the intake "opening" side of the lobe and the intake "closing" side of the lobe when the dial indicator is at .050" of lift. (Below those figures are the opening and closing figures for the exhaust.) Compare your readings for the intake to those on the card. If you're within a degree, your camshaft is installed in the correct position. 5. You can follow exactly the same procedure on the exhaust lobe to determine its opening and closing degree points at .050" of tappet (or lifter) rise, and compare these readings to those on the specification card. If you also check the exhaust lobe you will have four points of reference (intake opening and closing, and the exhaust opening and closing) to go by. Remember, if you are plus or minus one degree of these readings, your cam is in the correct location and will be synchronized to the crankshaft's rotation.
  17. Have a look around here............. 12 volt site
  18. Once again your stylish wit would have had dumb founded!!!!!!
  19. Wheels are 13X7's not going to lower it(Famous last words). I dont really care about the paint finish, as its just to seal up the primer so it will not rust out to much. Once funds grow, will finish the paint, maybe...... As I want to get old Monty back on the road and have two Datsun's to drive/hoon around in.
  20. About to rebuild an A series Datsun motor and I am after any tips/tricks etc links would be great.
  21. Yes But for how much longer???? Fully fucken sick to death of brakes/fly wheels/shoes/calipers/clutches and shit. Looks like you may have found the problem, but as always keep us updated.
  22. Nice to see another C110........... Old Mad Mike will be watching.
