Is that a finished photo or progress shot? It's a drain rather than a pressurized line, but AFAIK you need to get they hose pushed all the way onto those fittings.

Yes, sorry, aluminum. I somehow missed that you had flexible lines running through the fresh air duct that are already insulated. That's genius. I was already planning on running my wiring harness through the passenger side duct, but hadn't thought of doing the same with the AC lines. I might have to copy you.

That looks very tidy. Are you planning on adding some slip on insulation to those eventually? I'd imagine the stainless tubing will sweat a ton without it.

That was what I was thinking as well. The only thing that has changed is the transmission, and the only thing the transmission can change about engine mounting is the angle.

I'm working on installing a set of T3 rear uprights. The uprights don't include a hole for a spindle pin set screw like the OEM uprights do. With how the pins are clamped into the outer control arm bushings, this will result in the spindle pin rotating in its bore as the suspension travels. Surely this will cause wear and slop over time? The metal is plenty thick enough to drill and tap for a small bolt, so that's where I'm leaning. Anyone have an opinion on this?

What do you mean by too high? Is the valve cover hitting hood or something?

Welcome to the forum and great first post!

Changed from welding to now panel bonding?

Before removing the diff, I would check the u-joints on your driveshaft as well.

Excellent work on the switches. I'm excited to see the rest.

Sorry, didn't mean to give you that impression. I would pull it and drop it in your pickup bed/trailer with the engine hoist.

I'm in Los Angeles and have a carbed N42 still in my car that's a classic "ran when parked five years ago". It ran well, but has a couple broken exhaust studs and some leaks, so would be a good candidate for a freshen up. Im not sure on value. I believe a few years ago Datsun Spirit advertised a $900 core charge, but now you have to call them to get that info. Facebook Marketplace and eBay generally show over $1k. I'm open to offers, but i think around $1k is a fair starting point if you're interested

Do you experience any delay in the steering assist? A couple years ago(actually five now that I look) we had a discussion about this, and quite a few people complained that the force-sensing units had a delay and didn't self-centered very well.

Don't go out of your way on my account, I just got another ad for it and was curious if you had any good results.

Any updates on how this is working for you @kaibiagi?
