turboHLS30

I've never been one for V8 swapped Z's, but this is really cool! Props to you! Looking forward to upcoming updates!

Yea, he tried screwing me out of my kit and when I caught him in the act he didn't like it so much. He got his ebay pos parts and his money back btw. The parts that I received weren't the parts that he sent me pictures of, so I called the deal off. I'm not here to screw anyone over, I'm just as much of a Z enthusiast as everyone else here.

I don't have a HKS, but I do have a Cartech plenum. Message me if you're interested.

New updated design and collector

You know you've owned a Datsun when you sell yours and still can't help but to browse the forums twice a day.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks

WARNING! NO DATSUN CONTENT! So my dad is building a '92 Civic hatch for a drag car, and he's planning on running a HUGE turbo in the bumper. Well I decided to design a custom header for him so that I could get some more experience with AutoCAD (I've been doing it for 4 years, but any experience helps) and this is my first time messing with 3D Modelling. Check it out and let me know what you think I'm working on getting some L6 & L4 header flange dimensions, so that I can start designing a set of headers for the L

Well once you heat it up it becomes flexible again making it easier to fit it over the end.

Did you try heating it up to make the rubber more pliable?

When I put mine in, I put the filler neck on first and then used my little brother and a jack to get it up into place. You can try to heat up the rubber a little and then it should flex a little more and slide on. If not, use alot of PB Blaster or WD40, and use all of your body weight to try to get it to slide on. Good luck

I'm sooo excited for Sunday Are you taking anyone with you? If not can I ride with you?

When your teachers from freshman year ask you if you got your Datsun running yet, and the answer is always, "Almost, I just have (explains parts list)", and really it turns out as a lot more than that.

Had a great time yesterday I didn't really want to get too close because technically I wasn't supposed to be there (Damned minor waiver rules ) Get some bigger seats so I can fit LOL

Wow it's been 3 months lol Well I've polished the carb top hats, painted the manifold black, built an exhaust, cleaned up the interior, and realized my custom paint job sucks lol. I just finished up the exhaust on the Z. From the it goes straight into a Borla ProXS, and then straight 2.5" with a turn down right before the diff. Hopefully it sounds good, but for $0 I can't complain no matter how it sounds The damn place that told me they had the rebuild kit for the carbs ended up having the wrong ones, which set me back another day I was hoping to get everything on today and hopefully have it running tonight :/ I'm just gonna go get gasket paper and make my own gaskets and hopefully everything goes right. I can really work on it that often because I have school 5 days a week and then I work on Saturdays. Slowly but surely, the only things that are left is to rebuild the carbs, buy another slave cylinder (those things hate me lmao), get a fuel pump, and buy rear shoes and the hardware for it. If anyone wants to donate to the parts list let me know

Hahaha why thank you I take that as a compliment.

double post

..........you write down a list of stuff to do by the end of the week, and by the end of the week the list tripled in length, and the car is in pieces.

You know you own a Datsun when your rust has rust You know you own a Datsun when you have to "choke" your car in order for it to warm up

Yeah! Maybe you should come up to Daytona and give me a hand and git r done!

Yup, thats me She's going to be my weekend warrior. Maybe she'll be ready for the AutoX coming up on the 29th

You know you own a Datsun when... You have people ask you if it's a Jaguar.........

Haha, I've decided not to sell it. I've worked on it for the past week and a half and she should be going pretty soon. Just need a fuel pump and buy the new gaskets for my carbs.

I haven't seen one of these threads yet, so I figured I'd start one. Lets see how many we can get You know you own a Datsun when you work on it more than you drive it
