Old R32 GTR has gone and in the resulting down grade to a point 'a' to point 'b' car I now drive this......

Datsun 1200 ute!

with bits...

Built A14 with upgraded cam / pistons etc.

Garret t25 turbo

Silvia intercooler.

EMS Stinger ECU, multi coil setup.

3inch turbo back exhaust

bigger brakes and front struts etc..

goes reasonably, no gtr but, handles like a kart'.

The best part is watching me try an get into it or out of it :D

Give us a wave if you see me around and spare a thought for someone who has taken a step down in the world of performance cars :P

they aren't real cheap unfortunately. This ones a tad rough and I've got a fair tidy up on my hands.

For something like my bunky you can expect to pay around $5k (rust, needs a gerneral tidy up etc..) , I got mine cheaper so it was a bargain. Mind you I have to tune the ecu up and other things to make it right.

i paid $1500 for my ute 3 yrs ago , 2nd owner 85 model .. was offered 4k for it 8 months ago as it has no rust

I also have all new panels for mine when i decide to paint it up , lsd disc rear end n upgraded front brakes , 300mm rotors

rev to 10k? Hmmm...

I think the racing 1200 coupes motors got pretty close in their day.

This ones probably able to go to 8,500rpm or so regularly but, the engine setup is designed to make peak power a tad lower.

Dsturbd,

What sort of struts are you bolting those to?

At least your diff isn't going to die anytime soon. I have two spare diffs and one spare 4 speed in expectation of the carnage.

I got a 1600 and I don't know what brakes are on it. I got disc rears and up front theres a girlock single-pot caliper. So I'm guessing 200B front brakes? I think they're mounted to 240K struts. Need to find out what brakes because they need replacing. I can barely stop the car! and it steers itself under braking.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
