Nissan Cedric Upgrades

I've started a thread outlining the mission statement of my 1966 nissan cedric Rb conversion in this section but I figured I'd throw a couple of questions out there for the majority of you that know a lot more about classic nissans and datsuns.

1. brakes: I have a complete running r31 sedan as a donor car and would like to use as much as I can in the conversion. I'd like to use the brakes since I'm using the diff from the 31 the rear brakes are a no brainer but is there a way of using the front brakes from the r31?

2. As the cedric has an L20 I figure the sump and other clearance issues will be similar to those who have done the rb conversion in early Zcars but any extra light or good links would be sweet.

3. Steering, many of you done R&P conversions in old nissans? of course I'm looking to use the one from the skyline parts car.

I know my car is a bit older than what most of you work on but any help would be appreciated.

PS anyone in Brisbane who wants to come and hang out when the mayhem starts or even needs an extra set of hands when they're pulling their ride apart feel free PM me

Need some "Before" pics Lincoln :P

The before shots are a bit of crack up, although the car is complete and free from major rust its still not what I'd call a "survivor"

I'm going to keep a bit of build diary in this section so my stuff will be documented for all to see. lol

This guy has two ceddy wagons, would be worth having a chat with him.

Thanks heaps for that, thats the same series as mine so hopefully he'll be able to shed some light on easily transferable parts.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      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.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
