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

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

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

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
