gentlementlemen...

just gave a counter offer on:

1976-Nissan-Fairlady-Z_1.jpg

http://www.j-spec.com.au/featured/fairlady-z-11157.html

FUCK YEAH

Seller came back with a offer that was good enough to accept. just putting some last minute vice clamps on his nuts to squeeze a better price.

:D

FUCK YEAH!

L28 board to 3100cc

Do it!

He said it was a kakimoto 3.1L. not sure if it's a genuine one or a replica using LD28 crank, honda pistons etc.

said I'd buy pending on the mechanic inspection, gotta get the guy out there into hickville country japan. will know then.

apparently makes 215rwkw :D not bad for an old clunker.

lol i completely forgot I had inquired about this car, until it got brought up in the "300zx vs GTR... engine out fun" thread. Couple of phonecalls later and I jizzed my pants.

wow. remember when you gave me shit for almost buying a c110. yeah. f**k you old man!

lol that's cos I'm not gonna be restoring or modding anything. buy, import, tune, drive. the end.

If it's genuine 3.1 kit, you're essentially sitting on gold mine...

I've owned one before in the C10. Didn't realise it was a gen until I opened the bonnet (this was back in the day when we bought shit sight unseen). Hence the $5000 profit once it got here.

no sell? good

looks like charles got to that Ferrari

im still kicking myself for not buying adz's c110... or that restored road/track 260z 2+2 with the l28 etc etc stripped, half cage, semis and watanabe copies for 4.5k

you should own a regular car before you take on the headaches of a classic.

put it this way, this car's gonna be driven hard once a week. if it breaks it'll go into a workshop while I drive a daily. you, on the other hand don't have that luxury.

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
