Hakone Motorsports Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Over the weekend there was a bit of progress with assemblying the engine. More to follow, but progress pics are always fun.

Hakone Motorsports Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 How many people have used a degree wheel on these L6 engines? I have found the only way to really ensure accuracy on the cam is to go off the valve retainer, preloading the dial indicator and recording the readings on the intake and exhaust opening and closing at .050. The online calculators will then help you walk one into the required centerlines from the cam card comparing cam lobes in relation to the crankshaft. This is the only way I have found to work due to the lobe profiles on the camshaft being different. Has anyone else found a better way?

1969honda Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 You might get better answers on your degree wheel question in the Nissan L6 section. Progress is looking great, keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakone Motorsports Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Did up a removable bash bar for the G nose and fit the lower half of the G nose to the bash bar. The corner lamp mounts were pretty far off so the light mounts were cut out, then fiber glass was layed over the tubing that was masked and further trimmed to fit the bar once curing started to take place. The wheels, seat and mock up dash was fitted and pushed down the street for some motivational progress shots. The roll cage is put on pause until I figure out what would look functional while keeping it from looking like a jungle gym.

Hakone Motorsports Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Currently overseas with my day job, but a couple friends ended up hauling the z car to the painters place for final body work and paint. Also, ended up finding an arita speed front lower spoiler and OEM G-Nose hood hinges here in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakone Motorsports Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Little update to the build. Its at paint (RM_Collision on IG) currently getting the 904 Kilimanjaro White. Should look pretty neat with the flares and wheels. On a side note, anyone have any recommendations on where to get a windshield?

Also, digging how you threw the bash bar on behind the G Nose, spiffy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakone Motorsports Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Been a while. I had to pull the car from the painter / body guy. Car turned out really bad. Like embarrassingly bad and even got scammed 2k in the process. Anyways, got the car back along with all of the parts and had my good friend Chumpot take care of all the glass work. Recently dropped it at the painter, west coast jones, in Rancho. Oh, and started building an engine test stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARiskyCvt Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Nice keep it up. Cant wait to see more progress. From pictures its hard to tell with the bad bodywork and paint. Sorry to hear the misfortune but hopefully the new guy can fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakone Motorsports Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Got the 1 5/8” headers coated, swapped in a set of mikunis in place of the Weber’s. Got the test stand mostly sorted and about ready to fire the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
