ZTR, There are particular parts that you will need to build a stroker motor. a 2.4 block is not one of them. 3.1 strokers are not your best solution for a high reving motor. I would suggest a 2.9 liter motor as a better option with an offset ground 2.8 crank to get a little more displacement. there are a number of books available, but no too many websites. what is your budget for this motor? a true race motor build up can cost up to $15,000. A really good street motor would be around $5,000. I dont think that you are looking to pay several thousand dollars extra because it sounds cool... Look, I know you want a nice motor, and I know that you are looking for ideas....but there are a few things that you need to think about here: 1) what is my budget 2) what kind of performance am I looking for 3) what am i going to use this motor for 4) What type of carbs or FI, etc.... > > 512) i want my motor to sound like a race car. Let's talk about what you need and your budget and we will keep in mind how to give your motor that "race car" sound. Guys that build the best race motors that i know of: Classic Datsun, Vista California Rebello Racing, Pacheco California Sunbelt motors, Florida? Cobra University, Los Angeles California I hope this helps. Ron

You really cant run a motor like this on the street. It could be detuned with different pistons, but why!! This motor is designed for a specific purpose. My suggestion is to find a shop that you trust that will build the motor you want. Rebello, Classic Datsun to name a few.

My BRE motor is a race motor, in a race car and will not be run on the street. I was just responding to the question posed. A 12.5:1 compression motor needs race fuel and at $5.00+ per gallon it is not wise to drive it on the street. (other than pulling it off and on the trailer).

I have a BRE 2.4 race motor. What kind of spec's are you looking for? compression, cam, pistons what? R

HS-30H is it possible to get one of these through your connection?

In the next few weeks. put your name on the waiting list at PDK http://www.pdkfabrication.com

No worries the guys at PDK have been working on the mold so that we can get multiple copies. They were hoping to have them done for MSA but it doesn't look like they will make it. They have been busy doing the fabrication on my car seen below. You can contact them for specific pricing.

I apreciate your interest in making dashes but you will find several challenges in making this part; the shape is very difficult to make in a one piece mold. I will tell you that making a dash very difficult even for an experienced fiberglass professional, from personal experience. We already manufacture a fiberglass dash...If you want one be sure to contact PDK Fabrication: http://www.pdkfabrication.com

Congrats!! Please let's see some pic's....

I have his IM handle and will keep an eye out when he resurfaces

Hey, just call Les and order 760-940-6365. I am sure he is waiting to hear from you!!

Nobody makes these in Urethane. I know that Les owner of Classic Datsun has been thinking about making these in Carbon Fiber....

http://www.classicdatsun.com. Hoods, flares and other parts call Les for more details 760-940-6365

I agree with midnitez, a glass pack resonator and second shorter one as a small muffler got that Euro-Ferrari sound...but there is a loss of performance with this solution.

http://www.pdkfabrication.com for ideas, it's a long drive from NY to get the work done by PDK. But, you might get some ideas for the roll cage that is in my Z pictured on their site. I am 6'2" and with helmet needed all the room I could get. PDK does make a bolt in strut brace for the front too, also listed on their website. Hope that helps. Ron

Yes, there has been quite a bit of discussion about this in the past. We suggest a true strut bar soliution that works. http://www.pdkfabrication.com look under strutbars.

BRE used the 432 rear spoiler, so they are the same. The mold pulled for this spoiler was from Les's RHD Z432 that he sold about a year ago. There is a flat section on the back of the spoiler for the emblem.

Cool glad you like it!! Les's products are very nice, and worth the money. he pulled a mold of that part off of his original and I have one too. the mounting locations are the same as the original, which are a PITA, but for a lot of folks accuracy counts....

If you look, you will notice that your top hats that hold your springs in place have holes that you can feed a good sized zip-tie through and hold your springs in place. This should solve your problem.

Wow John! i guess I missed the signup for this. Should you elect to do this again let me know. Thanks!! Ron

Please forward Part #'s by all means!!

TWM makes an airbox that will work with tripple Mikuni's.

Interesting, next time I talk to Pete Brock I will have to ask him if his header design came before or after the Japanese version. Any more corrosion!?!? It's brand new!! Don't worry, it's next stop it the powdercoating shop, it will get it's high temp coating now that the fabrication is done...

The tubing is 1 5/8" inch ID. I am waiting on Don at DP Racing to finish the conversion of my peddle box to dual brake masters and balance bar set up. Then there are a MILLION other little things still left to do... Working hard trying to get it done in time for the Nationals in Los Angeles

My new header for my BRE replica is done see attached photos:
