Mr dori

Lol nice one, i guess the steering box moves around a whole bunch?

whats the steering brace do? I want a front a rear spoiler also! Where to get? Also any idea where to get fender mirrors?

Boring update, but started patching the rear section. Im pretty terrible at panelbeating TBH

Checking out the cancer, after years of Bog and dodgy repairs. Gives me something to do i spose. Anyone got a steel roller/folder or know where to get such a thing?

Well turns out shes not rust free. Whole rear tail section is screwed, bottom of rea arches stuffed, bottom of front guards stuffed, and sills looking abit sad.

Gutted

Hey lownslow, yours is the business mate! well done. Specs on wheels? Yep she looks pretty slammed. Awesome though

Yea im a fan of 13's. but id have to have it really slammed I reckon to do it justice, and im not sure if thats what i want anymore haha

Had this saved up for it

Also, Ideas on wheels would be sweet, think A3A's, But brake caliper sticks past hub face so wheels have to kinda suit that 

Haha man, i miss my 1j already. Maybe one day ill get a nice original z10 with old twin turbo 1j. that will be the best

Fark this is cool, What offsets are the wheels, and much scraping? What did you do for lowerage?

So, After being out of the oldschool game for maybe 5-6 years. Ive found myself drawn to rusty old cars again.

After Owning a series of rusty old toyotas (gx61, gx71, jzx81, gz20, mz11, and more recently jzx90) all with various engine swaps 1jz-gte,1uz, 1g-gte,1g-gze

I have never had a chance to really play with carby cars/pushrods etc, so im stoked to be learning with this new project.

The car is a 1972 Datsun 1200 coupe, it belonged to my Mums cousin around 30 years again, and to my nana for maybe the last 25 years. She can no longer drive and has some alzheimer's, She had always promised to leave the car to me when this happened so now here we are.

Car is in pretty good nick, outside is pretty rusty around the rear tailgate section, lower guards, and some spots around rear window and sills. 

Seats are looking abit shabby with the vinyl all cracked and carpet is pretty no good. Rego and wof has run out as of last year so shouldnt be too hard to get back to a wofable state.

Went around yesterday, chucked a new fan belt and a set of new sparkplugs with a new battery, a can of start ya bastard and it started mint. Runs and idles really well.

Basically want to keep it pretty original, with it fairly low on some 14x7's or simlar, make the motor ait more grunty and sounding cool, and drive it around now and then.

So im going to need some tips, with regards to Motor mods, and suspensions ( shocks/springs/pick a part etc) and Cams/springs/Bike carbs?/ headers and zaust? Also G/box and diff i hope will be ok.

Thanks in advance

Mike

Hey bro, ive got bit of 2jz stuff lying round if you need. Map sensor and stuff, head/ covers etc etc

just copy whats one of the link base maps. think theres a jz one in there somewhere. but will be around 3ms at operating voltage 13-14v ramping up at lower voltage

/ just email me what you got and i can set it up for you

Thats bruv!

How does one suss out how much dwell to give?

Hey im about to wire a link g3 in to my 1.5jz, i have some COP with inbuilt igniters.

Will firing 2 at a time fuck them? IE they get to hot or something?

Thanks

Mike

try harder

Pull bekers bogan challengers off it. You sticking with the 2rz or whatever?

Why this over the 86?

bridge out the te1 and e1 pin on the diagnostics and see what code flashes, might be missing a imput for speed or something, you can disconnect engine check if its annoying you.

Sounds real similar to the 2jz! Awesome man you gana have to take me for a blat/line lock

vroom vroom

Modifiy knuckles, Sand em back and black em and no warrant place will ever know.

Basically you need to drop the outer pick up point for the a arm. No super hard to do, try find some bolts with the largest cam lobe and get a piece of channel folded up to weld on

Yea prolly just some shitty unmatched set up. Try get some adjustable bump/rebound shocks for the rear so you have some tune-abilty. TBH its always gana be hard to horey up some set up and hope it handles nice. You might be able to buy a BC rear shock separate?

Just s13 man, drill holes in tower, cover with strut brace. done

i think you'l find the whole orientation needs to be changed, i think that t3 crowd doe's x7 camberplates

same as X7 front. Drill s13 ones to suit if ya get stuck, and lengthen lower control arms 20mm. should be able to hit -5degrees
