1983 Nissan DR30 Skyline iron mask. I manage to work out a deal with my mate for it, picked it up last night which is the first time I've driven it.
It's pretty much stock, somebody has put what I think is a Supra intercooler on it at some stage which is bent and has average looking metal piping and a couple of split rubbery joiners. It has a Trust/Greddy adjustable boost relief valve installed instead of the stock one.
There's some work that needs to be done reasonably urgently some of which is:
Find out why it has 4 heat range plugs instead of the stock 6's in it, I put some 6's in it last night and I think I've fouled one up driving to work this morning, the AFM has been played with.
Gearbox has a rooted bearing(s) by the sounds of it.
Replace the intercooler and intercooler piping.
There's some noise from the engine bay, I think maybe the oil pump is being starved, will have to have a look underneath and see what the sump looks like.
Lose the wheels, will be giving these back to my mate and fitting the Pismo wheels of my other Z to it for a while.
Fix the leaking rocker cover, all the spark plug tubes had oil in them, I've got new genuine gaskets to do this.
It has some sort of problem where if you drive over bumps it seems to cut out, not very useful with Christchurch roads at the moment.
Plans at the moment are just to tidy it up, it needs a lot of work and drive it around for a while. Maybe fit an SR20 computer to it and a slightly bigger turbo which I've got sitting on an RB20 at the moment. It needs to be lowered, it has Cobra "lowered" springs in it but it looks higher than it probably was standard.
