Hey Guys and Girls,

so sadly im putting this up for sale due to changing personal circumstances. Hopefully things may change and i may be able to keep it because its probably my favourite car ive owned, its now a collectable and gonna gain in dollars. So, whats done:

Its an L20 motor which has been completely rebuilt by Peter Hall the legendary Datsun man. I have all the receipts of

what he has done to the motor. ($6000)

In summary it has flat top hypertic pistons which have been flycut to accommodate a big cam (it currently

has a smallish cam, big cam will see the motor to its full potential) motor is fully balanced and blueprinted, head has had as much work as possibly can be done and their is flow figures to prove it, Twin 48mm webbers, It has had a brass button clutch installed, I have fitted a r180 diff with 4:6 gears, 3 core radiator, electronic distributor, brakes are all rebuilt, I have put brand new mad dat front end Including adjustable camber and caster bars, adjustable front sway bar. It has a holley Blue electric fuel pump, I have installed all

new autometer gauges and push button start. The most recent mod has been the installation of a brand new 21/2 exhaust. The car since all the work has been done would have been lucky to have traveled 1000kms so everything is still fresh. All you need to do to the car is put the big cam in, re tune it, put adjustable camber tops on the front struts and you will have a very good club car. There are a heap of receipts that will outline most things that have been done. It also has Yoko's advan semi slicks, S14a seats and has been resprayed. Very very little rust and an awesome example of the famous 1600.

The Car in located in South Australia (and regoed) and i have insurance (full comp for only $400) with Shannons for $15,000, which they access each year as because the value of the car is on the rise.

No doubt ive forgotten things so just ask if your interested.

asking $ 12990 o.n.o

PM me or sms on 0407718764

Cheers Chris.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
