Was around this time that i started to try fit the Flares that came with the car and decided they would not do. So order a new set from Otomoto.

Plan for now is just put the L24 back in and get rego, possibly triple the 24 if im happy with it.If not the car did have an RB26 sitting in when i brought but really this is the last piece to the puzzle and i dont know what i want but leaning towards old school with triples. Also must be manual so manual pedal box and 5 speed going in.

Ye L24 or similar with triples would be mint

even an ITB EFI setup, so you dont spend 18 hours every saturday balancing the carbs

From what i have seen for ITB motors they dont make the power for the money, For around 9k i could have a bored stroked L28(3.1) with a race ported head make about 100hp per litre at motor

so would make as much or more then a RB30 with ITBs. Rego first tho and worry about motors later.

Now im starting to see the car coming together took me near 14 months to get to here mostly saving to pay for all the work that needs doing.

Having looked at a few other cars im hoping to fit 16*8.5 -6 and 16*9.5-19 R type Watanabe's when the car is complete.

The day i got it back from paint.

MMMMM now that looks good, but now its over to me to do some work lol

Hmmm getting there now only a few updates left till its where the car has been at for the last month of rain!!

Im hoping to fit 16*8.5 -6(maybe 16*8 +0) and 16*9.5-19 R type Watanabe's when the car is complete. Ben from otomoto has 17*8.5 +0 and 17*9.5 -19 with a 25mm spacer on the back of his C110.

But not sure i have as much space as he has, so worried about ordering 2800 dollars worth of rims that will not fit lol.

I had a few mates drop over on the frist weekend i got it back and we got stuck in.

We added some rubber behind the flares to try stop them from cutting into the paint.

Started to fit the wiring loom and new fused box.

img9177p.jpg

got the grill and lights in.

I want to put rubber base"s on the mirrors too.

Also cleaned up rear lights and surround.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
