Will see what I can do for you coupe72001.

We should all make a commitment to try and get our 210's to the Adelaide Meet. Ten or so of the Old Schoolies would be sensational. What do you say guys??

would be cool mate. more info??

Thanks guys, lots of sanding done and still lots to go :banana:

I'd love to see some pics of DOHC210's car, I suck at the hole computer thing to but you'll work it out after a few triple posts of random computer speak instead of the pictures you wanted to post :rofl:

Is your motor an RB30/25 frankin motor? sounds awsome.

Adelaide's a long way from Lithgow guys, always keen for a road trip tho.

anyway back to it, car aint gonna paint it's self.

Cheers Dan

Details of the event in Adelaide are rather scarce at present. I read about it in the latest Zoom Magazine and contacted

Carolyn Kruger

Chief Organiser Skyline Nats

President Classic Skylines Australia inc.

She referred me to the www.classicskylinesaustralia.com website and they had info on their meeting that they just held in Winton Raceway in Vic. They will be updating their website re the Adelaide event in July 09 so don't hold your breath I have checked out their website and compared to this it is to say the least sparse, but may be worthwhile checking it out from time to time. They are also holding a Winton Track day on nthe 12th of September if you are interested.

Dan what is a frankin motor? I have never heard that term before. Am also working on getting a few piccies up for you guys so please be patient.

Hahaha, frankin motor as in frankenstein as in bits from different engines put together to create a monster :D

Checked out www.classicskylinesaustralia.com, pretty quite over there but hopefully it takes off.

I'm off to recover from sun burn/heat stroke now, It caused this today :P

Hey, hey

I'm still plodding along with the new paint, hard trying to stay motivated when there's so much sanding to do :down:

But anyway, where getting there :D

more pics of the beast, got my paint already (tropicana green) but it's to cold to paint now :)

I did get the engine bay painted tho, flat black FTW....

and yes the bonnets black too, had the black already so used it as a practice run.

shiny but needs a bit more work, maybe next year

just needs a supercharger now :)

wow, it's been so long......

Been flat out the last couple of weeks working at the new house/getting ready to move. Packed up all the Datto bits last night, still so much to do, but at least it sounds like a Datsun now.

Thanks guys,

Only thing I've done is put the twin tips on, been so busy at the new house.

Off to Darwin tomorrow for a much deserved holiday, then we move house when we get back. Hopefully the new stove/toilet/hot water/carpet is all done before we get back.

Well here we go, I'm about to embark on a low budget, big headf@#K, supercharged L6 skyline.

Starting out with a stock, unknown k's L24 in the C210 coupe = free (budget still in tact)

One 310? Holley 2 barrel carby = free (needs a rebuild)

One SC12 supercharger from an AE101 4AGZE corolla = $140

Fabricate mount/s for SC12 at work = free

Fabricate custom inlet for SC12 = free (pending 2.5" mandrel bend)

Modify factory alloy outlet for SC12 = free (cut, rotate 90deg and re-weld)

Fabricate adapter/plenum/enclosure for Holley = free

Will have to work out the rest as I go.

Here's some pics of the progress so far,

200x20mm flat bar over kill? yeah, back to 10mm

Image193.jpg

Mount for engine, Round bar for lower s/c mount, Small bracket for top s/c mount

Image194.jpg

It fits (yay)

Image197.jpg

Template for top bracket

Image195.jpg

SC12 inlet on engine side is a bit tight for space, will come out and up on a tight 90deg bend then over the top to where the air filter is. Well that's the plan anyway :)

Input and constructive criticism is welcomed,

Cheers Dan

looks like your well on the way!

there are some mean SC setups on hybridz.org, I have seen them mounted on the oil filter side of the block too.

getting the holley jetted correctly is going to be the hardest part i think... i got no real experience except when my uncle bolted together a similar setup on his sigma when i was like 16...

he could either have it running like a friggen missile on boost, but no low end driveability or idle...

hey interested in making some dump flanges at all?? looks like you know what youre on about!

Wow... a supercharged holleyed C210 is both unique and really interesting.

There is a guy in the Nissan Datsun Sports Owner's Club making a supercharged 280zx using the AC mounting brackets like you are. Can't remember much of the details other than that it will run straight LPG. Will post all the details after the next time I see him.

Also, I have a dirt-cheap Holley-to-L24 manifold in the garage if you need it.

Cheers, D

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
