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.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
