cute wee gem

Well the octane booster definatly fixed my pinking problem, it is a pretty high compression engine, Compression Ratio Being 9.5:1 Going to have a play with the timing this weekend, im pretty sure that my engine is always going to need high octane fuel, to run at its best. Cheers for your explanation Thats cool, although 9.5:1 should run easily on 96 octane, have you done a compression test on all cylinders?

If you dont have a timing light, put 2 marks on the dizzy and the mount part (that doesnt move with it) so you know were to put it back to if it doesnt help, but fiddle around (little movements are bigger than ya think) with the dizzy and move it each way and drive it, see if it helps, if it gets better, then turn it more the same way and see what happens, only takes 5 mins and could fix the problem easy as, if it doesnt help turn it the opposite way past your marks, if that doesnt help, then compression is too high for the fuel your using I'd say

BADASS!!, Now that car is awesome!

First panel 98% straight, just needs 2 coats of primer filler then block sanded As you can see around the middle where some gouge marks are from a previous owners oribtal sanding These are also on most panels

Looking great man!, Very nice indeed Hope mine ends up that straight

Call it Starlina, or Carlet.. rofl (Carina + Starlet)

Good stuff man, pics pics pics

White walls and hubcaps it is then - Roof racks are mean

Started some body work today, and sanded back anything that needed to be for primer. Boot started Guard almost finished Bonnet I scored off trademe for $28 Primer

Yep i know what you mean, and filler doesn't like to dry when its cold = stumped me for a week as theres bugger all left for me to do lol.. and its just shitty working in cold weather, today was awesome though. Whats left that needs doing to the beast?

Woohoo Tis awesome when ya get to that stage eh?, all the hard work done, rest is precision stuff to get it fully straight, good stuff man.. you will have to get another car after this and have updates every week to keep us occupied again. Can't wait to see it done

Just rub some twink/white-out on it

Yep, i agree.. although twin head lights on any car usually get my jizzle on but its good to see original looking 808s

12a/10a nose cones are off RX3's and have different light surrounds/grill etc (both got twin head lights) That nose cone with single head lights = 808

Awesome car, looks pretty original too, what ever you do KEEP THE ROOF RACKS!

BTW, I think your car is the nicest oldschool+newschool (wheels, kit etc) car I've ever seen.. It actually looks "right"

Awesome, i seen that engine on trademe i think, looked well done and well priced, can't wait i bet?

pretty sure all the old rwd datsuns were 114.3

Looking good, It wouldn't have taken long to tidy that weld up though, how come no clear?

I don't think it matters, I've got the old plates for the rolla and never got asked to hand them in

Sweet as, ive got some threads/big bolt things cause there were some home made ones that came with my rolla, although dad thought they were dodgey, and in fact they were but I can use the bits there for another project, easy to cert?, will get them welded pro though..

are they "home-made" adjustables?, if so did you do them yourself/how etc

Good shit, your lucky you have an easy straight engine bay, the rolla & colt were fucking hell to work on when it came to engine bay, yours is just like a straight valley haha

Easy as, just cut up a 44 gallon drum. Haha true Kiwi ingenuity
