New Zealand Datsun Club

Awesoke work Wal. I bet the excitment let alone motivation is through the roof!!!

Ive got a spare one but Im pretty sure that one had a broken fin. Will check when Im down home next.

Awesome work Wal. Those seat retrim in leather/vinyl and it would be bloody hard to tell the difference between them. Great find

Thats great Dave. Looking forward to having a play in my coupe once my engine is together.
I saw on 1200.com that you had a new close ratio gearbox from Wellington. Is it in the car here? Sounds like there are a few straight cut gears.

I wont be able to make it due to the Catlins rally but I keen to come on another sometime because its been a few years!

Its Tim at Pine Engineering who does the cylinder head work. He is going to port my GX head very soon and the work he does is top notch. Might even be worth getting him to hardness test you head etc because I have 3 heads here that are borderline and a race head that is a soft block of cheese.

What a great write up. I really like what you are doing with the whole thing. A lot of money and time to be spent yet but I can tell your enthusiam is high so keep it up!

Please tell me you are hoing to put that retro sunny decal back down the side once its painted haha

Offset ground crank? Whats the stroke now?

Hell yea Adam! The heads are all ported ready to be bolted on and engine droped into the hole?
