Re: 1971 Skyline 2000GT Sedan (Hakosuka)

Yeah I'll leave it undone for now, probably just plug it up with something. There is a spot for it on the manifold but as you've said, most people saying don't worry about it.

Re: 1971 Skyline 2000GT Sedan (Hakosuka)

Went down to the shop and did some fiddling today. Short story, car runs on the triple carbs now, but won't idle. With a bit of throttle actually doesn't feel too bad but yeah long way from running nice yet. I purchased some new gaskets but turns out there were a few that weren't right so need to ge...

Re: 1971 Skyline 2000GT Sedan (Hakosuka)

Nice work. Been watching this thread for a while now. Some people don't like the sound of stainless extractors. I'm in that camp. Just a standard equal length set HPC coated inside and out will do the trick for me. I saw that a crowd here in CHCH is now able to HPC coat in black instead of the usua...

Re: 1971 Skyline 2000GT Sedan (Hakosuka)

Nice work, the Lokar throttle cable you can get from all the hot-rod shops is really nice if you want something that looks a bit fancy too. Plenty of Japanese outfits seem to be making sexy stainless headers but good lord the prices! Actually turns out you can get repro brand new throttle cables wi...

Re: 1971 Skyline 2000GT Sedan (Hakosuka)

OK since last post I have got the smaller jets now, just need to put them in. I also purcased the throttle cable mount and hooked that up.. but then suddenly the stunt went horribly wrong.. http://iforce.co.nz/i/wnktb5qa.uu1.jpg http://iforce.co.nz/i/x2dddq2n.sky.jpg As I was tightening the nuts to ...

WTB: L28

Looking for L28 longblock mainly. Don't need most of the extras just a motor that was running when removed, or still currently can be seen running.

Lemme know please if you have something !

Re: 1971 Skyline 2000GT Sedan (Hakosuka)

Quiet afternoon at the shop so I thought hell with it, I'm gonna fit these triples on the car! http://iforce.co.nz/i/c3iz12po.yn3.jpg I've ordered some new jets to bring it back down to OEM spec as at the moment they're way too huge (came off L28, big cam). Highly likely to run like garbage on the 2...

Re: 1971 Skyline 2000GT Sedan (Hakosuka)

Had a really good day today on the Skyline. Decided I was going to get it out of the shop and go for a drive. Picked up a new battery and went out, the left side was still pulling badly and I knew it was something to do with the brakes so I pulled off the caliper and pads and had a look. Turns out i...
