Gents,
Well the time has finally come.
After years of being on the forums reading and watching many fine cars get built, I have finally taken the step to rebuild my motor.
After all, for a 21 year old birthday present, what could an old Datsun want?
So,
After many ear bending conversations with people both on and off the forums, I made my mind up to build a motor.
2.6 fully built or a mild build that keeps the car within the design plan set out from Nissan or go a slightly different route.
As a few of you will understand, I got hooked on track days / nights here in Perth.
And having been bitten by the bug, the idea to take the next step started to develop.
All of that changed though, after Gav let me have a few hot laps in his GTR.
Needless to say the 2.8 bug bit and bit hard.
I was gob smacked at the liner power delivery and the big fat torque band that the motor had!
I had to have one.
Finally after months of searching I came upon a brand new unused step 2 2.8 HKS Kit here in Perth.
I sorted out a price for the kit with the previous owner as well as snapping up a brand new N1 Block as well.
(Unfortunately the previous owner didn't go through with his build)
So i have the ingredients to start my build.
As items are purchased I will throw up the photos.
And a comprehensive photographic build library will be constructed.
At this point the goal for the car will be 480 - 500 RWHP working on 90% of the motors capabilities.
If I get more so be it, but the car will be mainly used for street and track work (1 Track meet a month and about 1000km's a month street)
I am going to build it right from the get go and hopefully not have to do it again for a very long time. (Touch Wood)
Parts List to source at the moment **
HKS Oil Pump
N1 Water Pump
Hi Octane Steel Fabricated Sump
1 Way Front Diff to be installed
HKS Fuel Rail
HKS Injectors
Nismo Fuel Pump
New Head with Port & Polish
1mm Over size valves
** Will add to the list as I have time.
So it is not complete at this time.
Forgive me for the quality of the photo's
I was in a bit of a rush to get home.
Cheers
Mike
