This has already been done a few years ago. Reach out to Jakub at Datsun Europe, he's running a zf8hp50 behind his sick turbo L and has a few adaptor plates left.

This thread is ancient so I'm just posting in case others come along in search of a solution. If you install the MSD 8920 as indicated by the OP and the tach only reads 200 rpm, here is what fixed it for me. At issue, reverse the wires to the tach. Connect B/W wire to red going to the 8920 and connect G/W to 12V switched. After this my tach was happy.

NO!!! Actually it seems well suited to a billet solution and I can't compete with billet solutions. The only reason I can play in this arena with my equipment is leveraging my pattern making abilities.

Just got home with the car and finally took it a good run around the block as the registration is suspended at the moment. The seller told me it didn't pass inspection as the car was running rich. I did notice there was a wideband sensor and a crank angle sensor installed but not connected to anything. Maybe it was used to tune the engine? The car isn't perfect but I did get it for a pretty good price. The bodywork isn't all straight, I suspect it had some damage to the rear at some point in time. The hood latch cable has popped out of place so the hood won't open anymore (why did I close it all the way). The passenger door isn't lined up properly, it only closes with force and the bottom rear part of the door sticks out a bit. And the car sweats some oil (pretty much everywhere). But all in all I'm happy at the moment as it has new wheels and tires (got the original wheels with almost new tires with the car) and it drives pretty good even though it's running rich. Clutch and brakes work very good and even all the electrical works. I did notice some nice goodies too. The car has some kind of aftermarket suspension I think and a brand new wooden steering wheel with NRG adapter. It is indeed a 5 speed and has the R200 rear end. I'll look some more into the forum and will probably start a build series documenting the car as I have no documentation what so ever.

Don't tell my wife Like I tell other people. some like to fish, some like to bowl, I like to make.

Even if 100 people commited to purchase, its still tiny small numbers vs an OEM production. Its got to be done out of passion and at least not to lose money. This is why this is such a huge acomplisment for someone like Derek, We are fortunate the passion runs deep. I cant imagine the hours of "un-billed" time

He's saying although we are launching a DOHC head in 2024 we readily admit it will be pale in comparison the mighty KN20 from Datsunworks. At least that's what I'm hearing.

Update: Bored and Stroked to 393 with SCAT internals, Holley Sniper 650, Hyperspark Dizzy and now blow-thru instead of draw-thru

My74 260Z Scarab. Had it since 2000. Bored and stroked to 393, still using the Rajay turbo but converted to Sniper blow thru from the QJet draw thru and added Meth Injection, swapped the T10 for a T56.

Here are some updated pic of my 77 280Z.

Here is a few pics of the 1977 280Z that I started on in Sept. 1994 Z28 Camaro donor car with 74,000 miles. LT1/4L60e transmission. Swapped out the R180 for R200. Keeping all stock gages and Datsun shifter.Suspension upgrades coming soon.

Change over the year

Hers my 385 sbc, mounted old school.

In my intercooler(ice) tank, it is a rule 3700 billage pump.Here is a picture of the tank. The tank feeds the air to water intercooler,then goes to the trans cooler, than to the engine,then back to the tank.I can make a 1/4 mile pass drive it back to the pits and the temp will only be 140 degrees.
