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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
