Guest blwnova Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 My pro street nova broke down the other day. While waiting for AAA to pick me up a couple of guys from Headman Headers saw my car on the side of the road and asked if they could use my Nova in an advertisement for their company. We got to talking about headers and i brought up the subject of Datsun full length headers for the JTR position. I told them that most of the people here either run block huggers or are modifying a set of S&S headers. I am in the process of converting my 260z for a v8. They wanted to know if any of the members have a working header that someone has modified to fit. They would either copy it or tweak it to fit even better.

Psykovertible Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 i dont have one to offer but i am excited about the oportunity. I would like to see a set like mike, i think it was, made that were a tri-y type setup. on a less complex note. i only need a 3/4" primary to a 3" collector and a reducer to 2.5 inch pipe. nothing more. that should be plenty to hold my 400 -500 hp i'm shooting for.

Tim240z Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Blwnova, It would help if we knew where you were. Update your profile so that it reflects the area of the country you are in.....at least a State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psykovertible Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 my bad. BTW Tim I looked again at you webpage and saw that it was you who created those schweet look tyi-y headers. I think i would really like to have something similar. For the sake of being cheap I am gonna give a set out of a Camaro a try because they are likely free and available. Would sure be nice to skimp out on one major expense to get me ahead in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Tim, what about your try-ys for Headman to check out? That would make a nice long tube, more ground clearance header for them to reproduce for us. Maybe you can get a cut, since it's your design!

Tim240z Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Mike, It would now be Bartman's decision. He is now the proud owner of the headers, and the engine that they are connected to..... He is in SoCal, so maybe he would be interested.....those headers worked really nicely, esp. for knocking out resonance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 He sold the set to another member here... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My conversion isn't completed yet, but the headers are installed. You can send me a PM about the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Bart, I would say, that at a minimum, you should get a set of the new headers (coated like the ones you have now), for free out of the deal!!! I'm sure that headman can produce a set of headers that are far better than what I whipped up. Since you would be providing the basis for Headmans profits, make sure you get something out of it! For that matter, maybe I should get royalties.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartman Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Here's a pic from Tim's web site of one of his custom made headers: http://tim240z.iwarp.com/cgi-bin/i/images/header_odd_coated.jpg My car is now running and these headers are excellent! I think Tim put a lot of work into getting the maximum performance possible while still allowing necessary access (plugs, oil filter, etc). The tolerances are very tight, with just enough clearance at the mounts, steering, and frame. There have been several people that have talked about having a major header company interested in making headers for our V8 Z's. Let's see if this one pans out:eek2: .
