Picked up the short motor last weekend. I supplied the L24 front sump and oil pickup as the L28 has a rear facing sump and oil pickup so the block needed to be modified to suit.

I also had a clutch supplied with the motor as the flywheel face has been designed around the pressure plate and it’s balanced with flywheel. It's a a single plate unit consisting of a 2600lbs AP pressure plate with an Exedy organic race clutch plate, built by Jim Berry in QLD.

I've listed my Mikuni 44mm carbs and LD28 crank for sale and once they move I'll send the short motor back with the P90 head to be completed. I spoke with Jenvey about the 48mm heritage bodies and they wont be in production until March so I'll follow up then.

Update time... The body is now booked in with Custom and Classic Cars for body work but probably wont be started until the end of this year due to the work they have on. I've seen quite a few projects they've worked on including another C110 and 240Z and the craftsmanship is outstanding so I'm confident the car is in good hands.

I purchased the body kit from Restored which includes the over fenders, rear wing and chin spoiler and a few more missing rubber seals.

The other big purchase is the fully built P90 head to match my 3.3ltr short block. Turns out that Locky from LCR is taking a different direction with his 240Z (matching numbers L24) and offered me the head that was built to match. Specs are:

  • New 46mm Stainless Intake Valves.
  • New 35mm Stainless Exhaust Valves.
  • New Valve Guides.
  • Refaced Rockers.
  • High-side Steel Retainers.
  • HSD valve springs.
  • 54.5cc Chambers.
  • Manifold face has been drilled & tapped for an LCR external coolant rail - blanking plates included.
  • Injector notches have been welded up.
  • New Freeze Plug.
  • New Nissan Oil Gallery Plugs.
  • New Nissan Rocker Cover gasket.
  • New Kameari MLS Head Gasket.
  • Near-new Rear Collant outlet
  • Water Jet Blasted Head & Tappet Cover.

Ported by Les Collins at LCR Racing, Intake port flow (average): 228cfm @ 28" of H20 on a 90mm bore plate. This head flows enough to make 380hp at the flywheel so it should be a very strong motor for a little C110.

So, I hope you're sitting down for this news... I'm dropping the car off for body work next weekend! It's finally happening. The shell will go on a trailer and I'll do a weekend road trip to SA. There will be lots of progress shots on body work and I'll be busy again with the car.

I made the 1500km round trip from Melbourne to Mt Barker in South Australia over the weekend to drop the car off for body work. ETA on the job is approx 8-12 months but I should get some regular updates which I'll post. There is lots to do whilst I'm waiting, engine assembly, sourcing induction and ECU, gearbox, diff, suspension brakes etc. All of the running gear will need to be blasted and painted and there is lots of work to do on the final parts removed like the heater, aircon, steering column....

Getting a non rolling shell on a trailer is pretty tricky work!

We left super early for the 9 hour drive

The car looked a little sad sitting there but it's in very good hands

I dropped the GTR grill off for reassembly and painting and the GTR rear panel too as it's painted in acrylic at the moment.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
