brocky41 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsnz123 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 We may end up doing all three. It would be good to do a diesel and a petrol. The red one is 3 on the tree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'm not gonna lie, I'm into these things. Look forward to following the progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I love it when a car sits for years like that and then starts up pretty much straight away. Enjoyed those two short vids. Karl's taxi was one of the more memorable cars for me at Hanmeet this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 The man who puts an M90 on an LD28 will become a coal rolling god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brocky41 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsnz123 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Twin charging did cross my mind but I'd have to build a strong engine and run 30lb of boost to make it worth it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- i5oogt - Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I should really put a boost gauge on the taxi and see what it is running 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carsnz123 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Mate who was going to do the rust work moved workshops so didn't have any time to fix it. So not much has been done as of late. I need to decide the overall goal for the car because I want to keep working on my Chrysler. Crowns and Skyline are first on the list though. Too many cars.

Do you know where do the nice tripple side draft carbs for the l26 come from ? Not sure, @kicker will know, I looked at getting a complete Weber kit off Ebay but too spendy ATM. I'd like to see someone fit this ITB kit https://datsunspirit.com/shop/itb-setup-for-l6/ Unless you modify the rest of the engine (cam, port job, extractors, higher compression) Triple sides are not really any advantage over twin SU carbs except for epic dorts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 My mate Damon at rocky auto is a dellorto expert. I think he knows where to get new ones off the www. Italy maybe? He said the new webers need the throttle butterfly screws loctiting in or else they fall out, and you have a bad time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(end of the week) a few years ago these were worthless/non desirable. But I think most of them went by the way of rot and now they are still non desirable.. but getting less and less as we go.

RUNAMUCK Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 330's are legit as fuck. Much better cars than the 230. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
