Gents,

Well the time has finally come.

After years of being on the forums reading and watching many fine cars get built, I have finally taken the step to rebuild my motor.

After all, for a 21 year old birthday present, what could an old Datsun want?

So,

After many ear bending conversations with people both on and off the forums, I made my mind up to build a motor.

2.6 fully built or a mild build that keeps the car within the design plan set out from Nissan or go a slightly different route.

As a few of you will understand, I got hooked on track days / nights here in Perth.

And having been bitten by the bug, the idea to take the next step started to develop.

All of that changed though, after Gav let me have a few hot laps in his GTR.

Needless to say the 2.8 bug bit and bit hard.

I was gob smacked at the liner power delivery and the big fat torque band that the motor had!

I had to have one.

Finally after months of searching I came upon a brand new unused step 2 2.8 HKS Kit here in Perth.

I sorted out a price for the kit with the previous owner as well as snapping up a brand new N1 Block as well.

(Unfortunately the previous owner didn't go through with his build)

So i have the ingredients to start my build.

As items are purchased I will throw up the photos.

And a comprehensive photographic build library will be constructed.

At this point the goal for the car will be 480 - 500 RWHP working on 90% of the motors capabilities.

If I get more so be it, but the car will be mainly used for street and track work (1 Track meet a month and about 1000km's a month street)

I am going to build it right from the get go and hopefully not have to do it again for a very long time. (Touch Wood)

Parts List to source at the moment **

HKS Oil Pump

N1 Water Pump

Hi Octane Steel Fabricated Sump

1 Way Front Diff to be installed

HKS Fuel Rail

HKS Injectors

Nismo Fuel Pump

New Head with Port & Polish

1mm Over size valves

** Will add to the list as I have time.

So it is not complete at this time.

Forgive me for the quality of the photo's

I was in a bit of a rush to get home.

Cheers

Mike

Running HKS 680cc Injectors with HKS rail and NISMO 280 P/L Fuel Pump

D-Jethro PFC will run the whole shebang

Car will remain as she does in the picture.

* have removed the Blacksun Imports stickers off the flanks

Nice choice mate i think you will be happy with the outcome. RB28 is one of the best combos around IMHO but in saying that I may be slightly biased. Check out my build thread I imagine it is probably along the lines of what you are aiming for. I will have a few updates in the next week or so now i have finnally managed to find some time to devote to it

Dazmo,

Your thread has been read more times than I care to remember.

ABM,

Andre is not building my engine.

However it is being built at one of the the more well known and proven Workshops here in Perth

Marcus,

Incoming PM

Not sure on the coating,

However everything is band new and only opened by

Me today.

So I would "assume" that they come from HKS as seen in

The picture.

I will follow up on your question however and let you know the answer.

The nickel coating is applied more so for scuff resistance or to aid in the reduction of friction, rather than heat disbursment. I think its a nickel ceramic composite that is applied. Correct me if im wrong!

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
