update:

bought some adjustable LCAs and they will work but still need another 50mm of length. so... ny mate who's been helping me with the car knows someone with a cnc machine and he gunna make up longer versions of the adjustment tubes for us. that's happening monday. the hybrid datsun/silvia adjustable castor arms are getting done then too. even then the castor arms wont be a straight fit to the LCAs. so a bracket will be made up which bolts to the LCAs and the the castor arms will bolt to that.

when everything is actually in place and working, i will make a step by step recipe on how to do it. firstly ill say that if you want to do this, please know in mind that it isnt cheap or very straight forward!

they pay off is gunna be better handling (hopefully), better brake upgrade possibilities, parts availability, extra lock with big tyres, and fitment. we've done some calculations and the wheel will be flush with the guard :-)

ill let you know how everything goes.

until those things are fabricated there isnt too much to do at the moment. so i fitted my stepper gauges from the silvia into the datto. i removed the instrument surround and tech screwed them in to the very left. they are hanging from the top in front of the clock (that's never worked) and the super high-tech warning display. the wires were fed through a gap above the instrument panel and down behind the dash. nice and hidden and stealth like. looks great!

note: grab an angle grinder and cut the excess of the screws that stick out. as they will foul on the dash when you're trying to get the instrument surround back in. and you will not have to cut a hole for the wires to go though, it'll just bend up enough without even any force.

the fuel system is next. will probably chuck a Bosch 044 below the tank. unsure if the standard fuel lines have the flow we need but this motor isnt too insane so will just have to see. there's plenty of room in the stone guard to add a braided line if need be.

till next week, have a good one :-)

thank man. yea found that one a while back. so awesome how much work he's put into it!

the LCAs he's made from scratch is exactly what i just bought but mine are adjustable. and where he's left the thread is exactly the stage that im up to! lol.

on another note, the fuel pump arrived today! installing tomorrow :)

boy oh boy have i been broke for ages! finally got back into some crane work and thus back on the coin :-)

the project has been at a stand still for months and months so now i just have to finish everything i started basically. i've done everything i could with what i've got and what skills i possess. now i just have to throw some money at a few things. and thankfully only a few things!

as soon as my mate helping me with the suspention side of things comes back from the mines, this thing should be back on all 4 paws and i can show you guys how we went with the s13 front end conversion. there's a bit to it but should have quite a few gains and adjustable everything.

had nothing to do after work so spent a total of $60 and 5 mins of my time to wrap my dump pipe. when this motor was in my s13, cabin temps got pretty rediculous at times so hopefully this makes things more comfortable. makes shit look pretty neat too.

seems legit?

as usual, to be continued :)

how is everyone?

yea i love my 20! it loves limiter bashing at 8k and spitting flames out the screamer :-) made 260hp at the rears in my silvia on a shit tune/ stock ECU ect @15psi.

jason was kind enough to hand over his Mine's stage 1 ECU for this motor. if i wind up the boost to max which is 21psi and a better ECU again, i should see 300-odd at the treads. but i also like reliablility and 15 is enough to have fun with. trust me, the boost comes on pretty hard.

braaap!

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
