Wow- you don't screw around, do you? You've made more progress on this one in four months than I've managed to make on any of my projects in as many years.

I try to do something every week. Even if it's just for an hour or two. My goal was to have it ready by June but, lack of muny is slowing me down.

head studs came in.

19610830235_31abfffc30_h.jpg

 

the rubbing issue is no longer an issue.  i bought these mesh wheels for my wagon a couple years ago and never got around to using them.  now they have a temp home and some fresh rubber (until i destroy them  :devil: )

18989902463_081c3c228b_h.jpg

155/55 r14 Formoza on 14x6.5 or 7.  not sure

18989904213_ce9665e3a0_h.jpg

not ride height but not all the way down.  still have a little over an inch to go.

19422826968_bdd0430d73_h.jpg

 

turbo mani came in friday. cx racing.   i'm real surprised i got it.  i woke up this morning to make a delivery for work and it was sitting by the door.  the doorbell never went off, nobody knocked, i never even saw the fed ex man.  :no:

there's just enough room on the bottom to get my hoses ond clamps on.

 

i've also been battling this greddy im i ordered.  the first one they sent was for the N15 tb not the stock tb.

Great progress !

Thanks

Damn you're working fast. Love the ground up approach with all the detail on your suspension refurbish. When you're done you should start to take it out to some of the autocrosses at the Santa Maria airport. There are a couple of us Datsun heads that go to the ones the PCA holds.

Thanks. It doesn't seem fast. I knew they ran go karts out there, never knew about autoX

v-band flange is on for the down pipe.

21888460719_9ab2bdb5b0_k.jpg

 

maxworx fuel rail mocked up.  it was the only thing i could find that would fit the new style greddy manifold.  the injectors i have won't work with this fuel rail :(  time to order another set.
