I've been given a nana spec 82 323, it looks good but could do with a pulse.

Rough plan would be to use atenza trans, shortened axles and hubs / brakes. I'll make a trans adapter and fart around with clutch and flywheel spacing. 

I won't run big HP, just want a cruiser. There was a cool bf sedan around years ago with same setup, but a 13b turbo, I'm not sure if it became the green rwd one.

Pics? Might be better to sell/hoard it and buy a rougher one to cut up?

What vehicle are you using?

Bit of no.8 wire bent roughly to radius push on hose add heat, what could go wrong

I bit the bullet and bought it!!

contemplating getting new boot floor manufactured or repurposing an old one for cuts to patch what I got 

Nice one man. Whats the story with the tail lights the US style bumpers? Has it been converted from lhd? 

That's so fuckn cool man, what year is it? Are you buying it just from photos? 

Is the minimum thickness for a custom fuel tank in mild steel still 1.2mm? Found some old references to the lvvt rules but couldn't find the actual rule online to be totally sure.

Didn't some of the top spec HB's have a fridge in the back? So rad

A paper gasket...

Was good enough for the factory. 

Oh yeah for sure but as well as a gasket I mean

What do you guys use sealant wise for intake manifolds? Nikki carby rotary in this case...

Keep in mind you may need extra hangars if converting from flanged join

Even with the slush box it's such a ripper

Yota always makes the best shitboxes

Yeah got manual one as a daily a few weeks ago, needs some love but hopefully will be able to turn it into the perfect daily - economical, reliable, cheap parts, fun to drive

The new black ones are still the new font. It looks wrong.

Ah well will give the future Barrys something to chew on.

Overall great news though

Fellas, I'm looking at a three phase machine and swapping out the motor for single phase, thinking the 3ph motor (4hp), cabling and plug would be worth something? Maybe enough to pay for new single ph motor/wiring? Thoughts?

On the off chance ... Looking to buy a guillotine 1220 long cut, cut 4mm aluminium... If anyone chances upon such a beast

Reading the article, it sounds like it was sold uncomplied rather than a engine blown up problem , so maybe it needed work for repair cert/lvv cert 

I'd be too embarrassed at my own stupidity to take the dealer to court for that. 

 

 

Oh right should have read the article! Doesn't say how much compliance was but still seems unlikely to be a terrible deal and yeah buying uncomplied you are rolling the dice so deal with it.

Definitely, what's a basic rebuild at a shop? 10k? Still seems like a good deal.
