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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
