colin need your epic detailing skills to buff it out. :D

Yachts normally go for more than that, probably needs some work for it to be sea worthy....

as for 31 coilovers, JIC did actually make coilovers for 31's. Also plenty of Datsun shops make coilovers from R31 struts.......

but yer, i'd still love a 1970 C10 GTR skyline.

If it was sold I wonder how much was the selling price...

for that price... You can get a VERY nice M-Spec/V-Spec2 Nur... or maybe top up a lil and get a Z-tune or a 35gtr...

as for 31 coilovers, JIC did actually make coilovers for 31's. Also plenty of Datsun shops make coilovers from R31 struts.......

Technically, the stock suspension ARE coilovers :) just not height adjustable. As you well know, those JIC ones are 20 years old and shit.

Making height adjustable coilovers from the standard strut, yeah it works, but I consider that 'custom'. Also, you still need decent inserts then to run in them, and you lose wheel clearance.

I know where there is a shell of a white FD sitting, its been there for 2 years now, sitting right next to the road nothing stopping it goin missing either

rotarys are easy, boost in apex out, rebuild and repeat. haha

anyone got a clue how to TIG weld here?

get me a tig and ill teach myself, i know the basic principles.

ps: marto that vid is f**king hilariousness TRACTOOOOR !!!

and u learn something new everyday: cows go moo when the poo LAWL

Yea I finished reading the whole thing but basically the main thing I've learnt is 1.3l twin rotary is actually 3.9l in displacement. And you cant really compare piston and rotary.

yer rotarys arent as bad as they are made out to be, boost them hard and not build them right and they will give you nothing but trouble, a properly built one with moderate levels of boost last ok. Like 1000Hp from a 1.3 litre engine is crazy and no doubt will give you issues, same as trying to pump that level of power from a RB engine.

Yer dave im teaching myself how to MIG weld, funny thing is my missus can weld better than me :) i will get a TIG once i learn the mig.

martin, get the falcoon and a trailer and i will show you where it is :P

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
