are these kind of shenanigans still allowed in Targa?

Yep good thing's, we have a customer with one of these LHD and all, AASA rule's allowed him to fit an LS1 and 6 speed

wild looking set of alloy arm's under the back of the thing..

I spoke to the chap with the Scarab at Baskerville about 12 months ago, I was quiet interested in his lhd 280Z until he lifted the bonnet to reveal a pushrod engine were once lived an L block.

And speaking of chook cookers still for sale now with new turbo freedoms fit a D9 dozer sized turbo and cook your chooks faster

Last time I looked at these it didn't work as Scrarab wasn't connected to Datsun in any way.

There were a heap built from memory though.

What you need is a good rotary.

How many Alex seals you blow while typing that :P

Ahhh,

soo much rotor love. I'm keeping my mouth shut as I am sure any tough talk on rotors will only come back to bite me in the arse when it self destructs at a really inconvenient time. :)

For your amusement....

I for one hope it all goes well for you Blaise and that you take it to the Porsches!

THC.... who's going? I'm doing "00" again, and will be driving up there Thursday PM with Captain Fathom, primed for festivities :)

Cheers Woo,

i really hope it works out, but gut feel is I had a pretty lucky run with the evo and it was a robust, reliable fast car. I think I might be out of my depth with the Rotor, but I do like a challenge. :)

For anyone interested, am collecting the shell this week. In the background I have been chatting to some people in the know about the suspension. We got as crazy as looking to graft as much of an FD into it as we could, but I decided that was WAY beyond our capabilities. Have scaled back to not reinventing the wheel and doing a V8 supertaxi spec live axle rear end in it and updating the front end. Go as light as possible and try to get a strong reliable 350 odd hp turbo rotor for it..... dreaming I know. Reliable and rotor dont really belong in the same sentence:)

Really wish I was coming to THC. The missus and I had such an aweosme time last year and are both a bit sad we arent there this year. Best of luck to all those taking part. Wlll be living the dream vicariously following it on the internets.

I'm keen to come up for a chin wag at some stage but not 100% sure I'll be able to do so.

If I can make it I'll see if I can drag MrRB20 up and we can have some prelim discussions on Euro 2012 Woo.

You're not in Melb for any length of time are you in case we can't make it?

A few old Datto Z cars including Jon Siddens will be there for THC, hope they can stick it up a few 'non ABS equipped' Porkers. Well maybe they might have a chance against the 'budget', under $200000, ones :thumbsup:

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
