Ill check under the u11 poobird thats festering in the paddock for solid rear - pretty sure irs doe - forgot it was there

I laugh that they put electric on the cargo but not on the door - was an option i spose like Kirks. 330 means still the double a arm? front end so kingspring superlow HQ 6 cyl springs will lower it around 60mm in front. Cant remember the shock to suit but thats also holden, then 2 inch blocks or reset leaves by 2 inches and a sedan sits level to the sills (might need a bit more in the back to even it up) Heres what my old sedan looked like - on 16x7's and 205/55r16 (not to everyones taste)

This guys good - does the y30 have it?

@Carsnz123 What ratio do you need, or do you just need 5 speeds?

I can help with the over riders and possibly a woodgrain wheel (Karl wants one aswell). Man that thing is sweet especially with twin wipes, A/C and P/S. Most were povo spec and had none of those.

Also filter by cedric wagon if you can. And Y31 etc as i know some 260C 330's are listed as Datsun 330 (no 260C bit).

Man - that thing is sweet. They defo took a few styling ideas fro the yanks. Love it.

@Beaver They all seem to have these - sorry for the delay and subsequent shit pics - im stripping the car just haven't got the motor out yet

But it wont roll coal unless it has a turbo for lagyness haha M90 + T51R-SPL twin-charging FTW or Compounding turbos. Careful over 15PSI boost and use a J or U-pipe for keeping 6 cool.......like this....

Wow good work - Karl filled me in today on these. Pretty much any L series can sit forever, throw some plugs at it, fuel and battery and your away. Karl might have told you that Cedrics are my thing aswell - great to see hopefully more than one being saved from your lot.

Hey sorry @Beaver - useless as usual - will take a couple of pics tomorrow and post up for you.

I can breath in LD28 smoke all day but you feel like your dying when you get a breath of adblue infused exhaust fumes. @- i5oogt - the car looks great - even with the green doors, I now know why you asked about the red ones. Have you kept the blue ones? We could do a swapsys for that multicoloured Jap ratrod 230 look lol

does the adblue just water the fumes down @Carsnz123 like the air pumps of yesteryear on petrol engines. TBH i think just roal coal and huff as much black has gotta be safer for everyone. Also LD28's are the king of nunga nunga - the only diesel louder is an LD28 with a stuck injector - that shit sounds like its gonna throw a rod.

Whenever there is a box to fettle with, @RUNAMUCK is on it lol - Although no salad this time. Maybe put on a pasta salad for lunch next time? Good work guys - OS community for lyfe.

Nice to see "shit getting done". I'm also in the too many projects group. Moving projects to get to the parts of projects for other projects and such. Will need to go for a hoon in this when you've got it sorted - @fletch told me it rolls coal like a train and pulls like one too. I see its still got the original front brakes - Ive got some hubs with big falcon (from memory) that @RUNAMUCK knows about if you need to slow the Luxobarge down a bit quicker.

Was that a laurel / skyline there aswell - much love for Japanese land barges

Sure am and sure will do - ill take some pics if you like - my rusty wrecks have an SD22 and an L26 (will check if they are the same). Currently stripping a Camry then onto one of the 260C's

Youll be doing this in no time

Dumb Question number 5 - what motor are you going too again?

Good to see another of barts old toys lives on.

Is this what you mean? If so, done.

So, I thought i started a thread for this car but i cant find it anywhere - or even the other photos i had of it. I inherited this from my Grandad a few years back. He used to pick us up from school in it and when i went around and mowed the lawns (i was about 8-9 years old) id always drive it around the 1/4 acre section. Did my first "skids" on the lawn in this, much to Nana's disgust. "Janee" was grandads nickname so ive named it that. I was up in Hawkes Bay this last week and took a few pics of it again. From what i can gather and have been told its a '63 Mk1 Cortina Consul that was column shift until grandad (in his late 80's) couldn't shift it properly. Dad converted it to floor shift with an extra long gear stick which apparently helped. Dad says it has an Escort engine in it but there is a couple of "kent" blocks at the grandparents place in the shed. Its had more parking hits than tina turner due to grandad touch parking everywhere from getting it in and out of the shed to parking at the RSA. We've removed the front bench seat as it wasnt original and was poorly mounted - so will be on the hunt for a couple of bucket seats. Amazingly (bad news in a way) was that he and dad wrecked out a 4 door GT as parts for this (FFS guys you got it round the wrong way) but i have a bucket load of spare doors and bumpers etc which will come in handy. Plan is to load her up fully with all the spares and get it to CHCH, hopefully using a couple of relo jobs through work to move the trailer up there and back. Ill get it running, Rego and Wof and drive it. I want to leave the patina on it for now as thats how i remember it. Will get some decent non shed pics of it asap.
