^ nah thats another dude he sometimes comes along to auckland meets

It probably is my old car, i sold it to a guy in Auckland (James i think) - here it is before it went as i kept the wheels. Hes since had it fully resprayed in the same colour too.

Thanks guys.

I'm not %100 on the radiator notch. I think I'll cut it off again this weekend.

Cheers Chris I might have to take up on that.

Someone else on here should buy that Bristol, maybe some one with some land near Oxford?

Yea i still need you to get yours going to scrape my driveway out lol - i quite like this one too, because roof and turbo

Too spendy for me - ill stick to starting new projects and not finishing them.

Lol at "notching up my Bulldozer" - dem mini truckers will think your "off the chain"

saw this last night - thought of you

Awesome work though love it.

Go for WOF - then when it passes have a go at tidying it up with a wire brush, rustkill and underseal. That way you've got 6 months for it to either look old again from road grime etc or cut and repair again with those repair rails from above

Thats what id do...

oh and make sure you go to a wof guy that likes old cars - that way you can yarn etc about "the project" and "you must of had one of these" etc for extra brownie points lol

Unmolested radio dash panel, but it's povo spec with the pocket instead of the cassette player

Povo spec because wind up windows lol - but it is defo an early 330 with that grill, 75-77? Ive got a spare one of those grills if you wanna change kicker?

For Fred - spotted this a couple weeks back, Holden of some sort? havnt asked about it yet but being a Wags is cool

Wow - rust never sleeps - i love the panoramic sky roof on the 230 - are these all sitting by the sea or something - i know the datsun tin wasnt that great but man....

Maybe a badge and grill from the 330 - drivetrain maybe lol

Mate awesome work - like the fact your actually thinking about spares etc and getting them underway / ready at hand. This is definitely not a slap together stockcar build like most ive seen are.

Your attention to detail is spot on - especially when its gonna get rolled bowled and a**holed lol.

Finished for this season?? i might have to come and watch :smile:

I love how these look big, especially the coupes. But in reality are only slightly bigger than a Datsun 1600. Must be a heap of fun to drive with a 2L or bigger 6.

 

such wogness

Dem Lancia twin cams are like a euro FJ20 though - so tough, i remember the rigolli boys running one in a 1200 ute.

The other thing is its missing the plate that tells you what diff and gearbox it should hav,

If you had this it is possible it is sposed to have a solid instead of irs rear or visa versa - anyone know how to bring that up.

If it was me - would not touch it (also that mirror trick down the vents is a good idea)

Does that area around the chassis number look dodgy though? - looks like is had a shit masking job / primer around it or is it just the pics. Would not show up stolen as would be plates from another car. Maybe LTNZ would be able to search colour changes for those plates? - that is if this was / is factory white.

I realize car do go through colour changes though

The kings of C110 on here are old man kyteler, and mark105.

 

Flauski also had one, but sold it. Can't remember what happened to Requiemk's one.

Aaron (with C10 sedan) also had one but it was for sale a year or so back.

There was some talk of the white coupe - pics and all, of it in NZ on one of those RFB pages (i join those for hilarity) or could have been the classic cars and wrecks page (i join those for hilarity)

The guy that said it "was" his said it had been exported back to japan "ages ago", so probs still in NZ hidden away.

Also extreme jelly of this car, i could only dream of owning one of those.

Little bit of an update

Scored this laurel on the cheap - mostly complete but with all the bits i need.
Didn't realize they still did a drum brake independant rear in these - lucky i have hubs etc from a disc brake ceffy.





Next out will be the front subrame complete for measure ups and test fitting as ive only had bit and pieces to work with so far.

Anyone need an RD28 lol

Looks great dude - wheels look awesome

So got the engine out

Everything was all nice and loose / clean just covered in oil from it leaking from everywhere.

Got the head off and all the extras stripped off the block. Couldnt for the life of me get the front crank bolt off so left that for the engine builder (broke a socket, then had two pipes on a strong bar - should have tried when it was attached to the gearbox.

When i dropped the bits to the engine builder we noticed the head had been off at some stage as there are various sanpaper marks where manifolds go and the headgasket is wrong ( a mm or so too small around the pots) so that wouldnt have been good - i checked at work and its possible it had a 4zc1 headgasket fitted. 88mm and 88.3 bores.

They are going to pressure test the head and strip the bottom end and let me know if its a hone or a rebore / oversize pistons this week. Also told me to bring in all the other dirty / oily bits to get acid bathed too for a clean rebuild lol

Have a look at the Kelpro and or Mckay books at your local BNT (or whoever you use) you may be able to match something up thats the right height etc from there - i know in my 120Y i used a Jag mount on one side and a Ford one on the other as one was taller (needed it that way).

Nice - everyone needs at least one 120Y in their lives lol

So I managed to swap my 15 inch steels for some 15x7 '0' offset alloys with 265/75/15 (31x10.50x15) All Terrain half worns. Came off a UBS55 Bighorn.

Ill get around to repainting the centers and polishing the lips once i rebuild the motor. I think they look pretty good, will probably get 30x9.50x15's once ive worn these out as they are a little wide.

2K Cup Car? surely with the 16V be quick enough - nice score

I sell the redline all the time, in either heavy or lightweight for the race gearboxes - or for road the MT90. Its about $30-$40 per .946L or US Quart depending on what you buy.

There are alot of different products - the friction modifier is a popular one for LSD'd

have a look here

Also +1 on everyone swearing on it - some ppl dont know we stock it at BNT - always get the "oh sweet you guys have that stuff, ill be back for that"

Im +1 on the timing chain issue - one garage i go two has done 2 sets on two of these v6's one had 100kms on it the other a little more, one had a few sensors etc replaced beforehand but was just $$ down the toilet.

Both ran mint after chain job, i saw one with the covers off and looks like a nightmare.

Swap out for VG30DE 300ZX engine i reckon lol

I lol'd at this when i saw it. sorry for shitty phone pics
