  1. Doesnt look that hard to me. Just graft the chassis onto a truck chassis :P

     

    f05a9c8c9221ba24a66f2aae38fbf8a7--a-rat-63c201e717ce1493ffb442bd18b282d9--datsunpost-9446-12699948932212.jpg

     

    But really. The chassis is just not setup for it. Biggest issue is the frame rails are right in the way. It just wasn't built for it. 

     

    Still going sub. Good luck!

  2. Good luck! You might be able to fit a 4BT but diesels are BIG heavy engines. I have also dreamed of a diesel classic but I was going to use an old caddy or  dodge. Your going to have a harder time than me an my dream for a V12!

     

    You might be better off with a late 260/280. They use thicker gauge steel and will handle the torque better.

    Also a heavy engine is going to destroy the weight distribution and require some front suspension upgrades. 

  3. Bump. I totally forgot about my Aliexpress account. This was their reply way back 2016-07-30.

     

    Good day!
    Thanks for your inquiry. We are a specialized racing crankshaft manufacturer and supplier in China.

    Our LD28 cranks is a hot type and it is billet material.
    Regarding what you said about the shot peening and nitrating, they are two of the total processes and it is necessary during the cranks production to make the cranks stronger.
    And our all workers specialized in cranks production have almost 30-year experience. :)

    For the balance equipment, we will send you pictures on next Monday, my friend.
    Meantime, attached you some our LD28 billet one to refer.

    And good news is there is one pcs in stock, Jackson.
    If you have interests to test our quality, we can send it out for you soon after your payment. :)

    By the way, can you pls leave your email to contact in time?
    Thank you.

    Waiting for your reply soon.

    Best regards
    Lauren

  4. I just joined DPAN. No. Not better. Lol. There is no search function, and the content reflects that.

     

    Search is on the left hand side bud :P

     

    Each has thier place. Facebook is good for quick noob answer, What size is this bolt.. How do i blank...what is X...

    While HybridZ is better for in depth discussion. Tutorials and engineering discussions. 

  5. I'm sure you already thought of this spitz, but make sure to weigh everything, one of the good marketing points for yours will be if lighter or very close to the weight of the zcar one.

     

    What do you plan on using for cover bolts through this plate?  Bolts will be in double shear which if i remember my engineering school at all, is preferable.  

     

     

    The bolts are in single shear here. The load is between the diff and the mounting plate. The cover isnt providing any load bearing capacity. None the less I don't see any structural problem with this setup. Should be plenty strong.

     

    The double end seal under twisting and bending forces will be trickier. Spitsnaugle I know its more work but maybe you want to have the machined put in a grove on both seals to hold more RTV, or even get a custom gasket made / "Cut your own" gasket. 

  6. Did a little bit of looking at the Merc M120.
    It certainly acoustically sounds better than the Toyota but has the same problems. Its a front sump with the pump under the engine. Also there is no easy/documented manual swaps.

    Not sure where to source that engine, they appear more rarely than the GZ. Also, Merc parts $$$ :/

    Ill add it to my list for further research. 

  7. For the past 2 years i have had this idea stuck in my head that my Z needs a V12. Not for power reasons, just for the glory of stuffing 48 valves under that hood. The engine bay is so huge that V8's just look out of place, plus I find that everyone does v8. How many people can say they have a V12 right?

     

    So in researching the project I came across the Toyota 1GZ-fe found in the JDM Century. The thing pumps out 350hp and can be had for less than $5000.

     

    Toyota 1GZ

    +Flat torque curve and 350hp out of the box. 10.5:1 compression!

    +Can bolt up to the CD009 6spd manual with a simple 1UZ adapter

    +Megasquirt will run v12 sequential with an additional driver board. Successful cases of this engine can be seen on the MS extra forum. 

    +The heads and short block appear to be very similar to the JZ and UZ families which will be helpful with parts, shims and bearings. Might even be able to run some JZ cams.

    +Only has basic intake VVTL-i which makes tuning easy.

     

    --Its a front sump. Pump under engine.... I will need to either research how to make a poor mans dry sump or move the steering rack? This is my biggest stopping point right now. 

    --Service manual is only available in Japanese. 

    --Could possible need custom manifolds to clear. Untested.

    --Engine mounts. Certainly need custom.

    --Intake system is ugly and tuned for a limousine. Will certainly be building some ITB's

    --Chassis reinforcement?

     

    Mercedes M120 V12

    +Sounds the best

    +More displacement/ power than GZ

     

    --Its a front sump. Pump under engine.

    --No easy manual swaps

    So on a scale of 1 to crazy? If anyone has more research to add please let me know. 

  8. Recommended bed-in procedures from each manufacturer:

    AKEBONO
    400 to 500 miles of moderate driving is recommended. Consumer should avoid heavy braking during this period.

    ATE
    400 to 500 miles of moderate driving is recommended. Consumer should avoid heavy braking during this period.

    BREMBO GRAN TURISMO
    In a safe area, apply brakes moderately from 60mph to 30mph and then drive approximately 1/2 mile to allow the brakes to cool. Repeat this procedure approximately 30 times.

    HAWK
    After installing new pads make 6 to 10 stops from approximately 35 mph with moderate pressure. Make an additional two to three hard stops from approximately 40 to 45 mph. Do not allow the vehicle to come to a complete stop.When completed with this process, park the vehicle and allow the brakes to cool completely before driving on them again. Do not engage the parking brake until after this cooling process is compete.

  9. Jon from Full Race got me the answer. So FYI

    -max EGT for the EFR turbos is 950C
    -max turbine speed is rated in terms of "tip speed" and 560/ms.  The specific RPM that 560m/s tip speed occurs depends on the diameter of the specific compressor wheel in question. 
    -oil pressure is regulated by the built in oil control orifice.  Pressure range is stated as 30-100psi. we've had motorcycle and ATV customer engines at 15-20psi oil pressure and no issue surprisingly.
    -bearings are m50 races with ceramic balls in aluminum cages (silver plated).  Dimensional Tolerances are considered BW proprietary information and not shared outside of their internal engineering center.  
    -most of the EFR compressor wheels have 14 blades which corresponds to 2917 Hz (except the 6758 which uses a 12 blade wheel)

  10. tatertoph they are high impedance modern EV14 injectors. The nice thing is they have a very low dead time so no problems with idle. You could probably go twice as big and still idle just fine. 

     

    I'm not sure what you mean by "work in a stock na l28?". The stock ECU is ONLY built to work in a stock environment (sensors, idlers, pumps, etc). Soon as you start to tinker with it your going to have problems for sure. 

     

    Unless you mean "work" as in perform? With a megasquirt they are great! I purposefully picked over sized modern injectors so i could run N/a for now and there would be no fulling problems when i upgrade to turbo. Currently i max the injectors out around 26% so plenty of power to go.
