Re: JDM Nissan Bluebird Coupe (ex JCCA Race Car)

Yes, despite all the setbacks, I think you'll look back and be satisfied once all is redone and your awesome Coupe will be running again - great job, keep forging ahead!

Re: Stu's 1972 4 Door

The usual plumbing convention for most R&P gears made in the US and Japan is "FART" - "fluid always returns top"...looks like you've plumbed it correctly.

Re: ABS swap?

I know this is probably at an extreme end of the DIY vibe, however there is a dedicated ABS package kit for retrofitting into our racecars available...

Re: Welp.... With the price of SR's I've went to the dark side......

Thanks for the detailed update, that's fantastic....looking great. Yes, RHD would be a bit more challenging...F20/22C's are also a bit of an issue, not to mention various cool engines like EcoBoost's, Duratec's, rotaries, and the like, for our RHD 510s. Maybe you could consider making "just one...

I'm also following with great interest in this conversion.
Would love to be able to replicate this swap into a RHD 510 with a 71C gearbox, too.
Watching with interest, excellent work, as usual!

Very impressive and accomplished work on the headliner, the C-pillar vents and all the updates with the body work, engine bay painting, wiring, etc - really very inspiring. Looking forward to your progress...all your work is making the car look great! PS: love the "enthusiastic helper" too...
