where in kelowna, or west kelowna is datsun maturi held?

Awesome car.. im in penticton would love to meet up when we both complete our z cars, i know of a couple others in the okanagan too

i see a little gauge pod in your car in the walk around vid and would love to see more of your interior

there is i think 3 nuts coming from inside the trunk on studs and she will come out

i am a mechanic and have worked in both areas mainly the fi, and i own a carbd vehicle and plan on converting my datsun to carb since i love how simple, easy and cheep it is.

carbs are easy to adjust, easy to fix, if theres a problem you can limp it home, you can find parts for them just about anywhere, and theres alot less to go wrong. manufactures used carbs for what 80 years, and ya they had problems but not as many as fi cars and a lot cheeper to fix. Nick

i have a complete setup of my old l28 i am converting to carb so i have everything you need, minus the tank and pump, i have 4 or 5 new injectors reman air flow meter, computer, harness, intake and plumbing, fuel rail, and more... let me know if we can make a deal as i need it gone and dont want to toss Nick

i never put any on, not needed

im gunna mount mine where the stock computer was and cut the hole for computer serial number bigger to show the msd and 6al

lighter botom end rotating assembly i think a 351w is about 30 pounds heavyer

they are the same except the output shaft in the 4wd is shorter than the 2wd and you would need to find an extention housing, unfortunatly you need to tear the whole tranny apart to change the output shaft, ive had to do swap a 4wd to a 2wd once

800hp? what do you plan on doing with that?? drag race only, street car????, if its a drag race car and the odd cruise on the street id go powerglide. whats the so special with the motor, supercharged?? what is the motor post some pics im shure everyone wants to see a 800hp z

i personally being a tranny rebuilder would stick with the 4l60e (aka 700r4 w/electronics) the 4l80 is uber heavy and way to heavy duty unless you plan on towing huge stuff with your z, anyway the 4l60 can be modified to handle rediculous amounts of power with upgrades just find a tranny shop in your area that will build you a performance unit or buy a tcs or monster transmisson or what ever you have down there, trust me worth the money

thanks for replying, it is a 77 but the weird thing is the diff is still in the car i never took it out, i knew whta they were for 5 months ago i cleaned the threads and put the nuts on but i cant figure it out now, the best i can come up with was i riped a r200 out of a 280zx at the junkyard and somehow they managed to end up with my bolt collection at home? Thanks Nick

on your new aftermarket gauge or gm gauge it will have 3 wires coming out ground(for the gauge), 12v switched power for the gauge, last one is for the sending unit center terminal(with the nut), and the spade terminal on the sending unit is the sending units ground
