I would sincerely be interested in something like that (in RHD).....

Really nice work, Owen....lots of disparate parts you're integrating beautifully....all the best with the build; following with interest!

That looks absolutely sensational!

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!

Excellent result on the rebuild, Keith...thanks for taking us along on the journey!
Looking forward to any further driving impressions, on the trip home?
Fantastic car!

Sorry to hear about the points/distributor troubles...maybe you could consider something like this?

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.

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...

That valance and fuel door will make a wonderful difference to the overall look of the car...great work as usual, Rush!

Using an aftermarket turbo manifold was an inspired and excellent solution...love it....great work, as usual, Stu....one of my favourite builds.

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...

This has been one of the most exciting "rust to riches" builds for a very long time....such an awesome accomplishment, the car looks great, so inspirational...congratulations, can't wait to hear about you driving and enjoying it!

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!

I know it's a long way from Toronto, however there is one available near Melbourne, Australia....anything is possible, it's just money. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/burwood/engine-engine-parts-transmission/datsun-nissan-option-1-5-speed-close-ratio-gearbox-1-to-1-fifth-240z/1261064479 Has been ad...

Thanks for the explanation....wonderful work and documentation, as usual. Really look forward to your updates, that car is going to be amazing.
