Hi all. After a long time in hybernation my datto is back on the road. what started as a 'blowover' (yeah right) when i lost my lisense turned into a full resto. Me and my brothers did all the prep work and painted the door jambs, inner doors etc, then off it went to magic touch for the outside coat. (car doesnt fit in our furniture spray booth). The car was painted in a 2k clear over base version of the standard color.

The engine is an L28 F54/P90 combo. the heads been shaved off its head :) to bring the comp up to 10.2:1. it uses a 74 degree wade cam (2nd biggest 1 they make). the bottom end just has 1mm oversize pistons. the super duper crap restrictive inlet man. has a 65mm t/b. All is controlled by an autronic smc. The car was dynod and made 142kw@wheels.

all in all im just rapt to have it driving again..

enjoy the pics

in the beggining....

Great to see that someone is willing to keep the old 240K up and running in top shape.

It makes me miss my old '77 4 door even more. Triple 45 DCOE Webers, big cam, tuned headers, ..... and 196 rwhp (when I could keep it all together).

Keep up the great work and enjoy the old girl.

Very nice car mate! looks like you've really done things properly, do you have any pics of inside the car?

thanks, ye i do but the interior is sill standard, but thats next considering im in the upholstery business! :P

looks like youve got urself a neet coupe there. looks awsome in silver. is it turbocharged? What engine are you running?

Thanks Terry.

-hgc110-, my C110 has just got the standard L24 and 5 speed at the moment but I might upgrade it in the future. I haven't had the car that long so i'm still deciding what I'll do with it.

Are you running extractors or a Cast twin exit manifold?

Thanks Terry.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
