Re: The White Sloth Project

Looks awesome! I riveted the bottom of my valence in place, but as I was doing it, I was thinking there was probably no point to doing it and some sort of tape/rubber to stop rattles would have been enough.

Re: Nick's 1972 4 Door - Ontario Rust....

Thanks for the compliments!

Right now it's just the stock engine with a weber DGEV that I have to re-jet.

I have to lower the front more, so I plan on doing coilovers front and rear, and new wheels. Then will look at what engine swap. I want to do SR20DET, but may do something else.

Nick's 1972 4 Door - Ontario Rust....

Hi, I originally had 2 cars, (both build were started to be posted here, and then I stopped working on them). One car was too far gone, so I got rid of it. After life took over, the second car was sitting, barely being worked on. I decided this year to get it a concentrated effort to at least get it...

Re: Rear Door and Trunk Rubber Bumpers

Thanks for the replys. I tried to 82865-21010 from an online Nissan dealer (along with every other seal/rubber on the car :D ) and after 7 months of waiting they said none were available, but I think they looked up a few part numbers and gave up :D I'll try my local Nissan first and see what they sa...

Rear Door and Trunk Rubber Bumpers

Does anyone know where I can get proper sized bumpers for the rear doors and trunk? Here is the new ones I got from Datsunlandsocal and the originals. http://images9.fotki.com/v1543/photos/1/594291/11087542/SDC18198-vi.jpg http://images60.fotki.com/v367/photos/1/594291/11087542/SDC18195-vi.jpg I tri...

Re: Nick's Quickie

Hey guys, havn't been on in a long time. I had the car on hold because life got in the way, but have done a little more. sorry for the bad pics! I put bed liner on the floor and the trunk and have almost got the bodywork flat: http://images51.fotki.com/v423/photos/5/594291/5945482/IMAGE_075-vi.jpg h...

Re: A. Datsun 3800

Yeah, that one would, but I hear it won't hold up to much more then a stock L67. I'd be looking at a 5 or 6spd from a camaro (with a V8) and an adaptor plate. I know they do it in autrailia. Also I hear that the Toyota R154 Supra Turbo 5-speed can be bolted to a 3800 using a 96-00 Dodge Dakota 2.5L ...

Re: A. Datsun 3800

Nice choice. I was looking at doing an L67 engine (3.8L SC engine from the Grand Prix GTP) mated to an RWD tranny. It's still at the back of my mind because I know 2 guys with stock engine cars with turbo running 500hp. I think that would be ample in the Datsun.

Re: Franks new 4 door

Looks really good.

What is needed to perform the swap? I assume a reversed crossmember. What else needs to be cut? (floors, driveshafts ect).
I have a KA24e that I got when I bought a 240sx for $100. I was thinking of installing it for a little more power in my car.

Thanks!

A punch to make a little divot in the centers as a drill start will help.
not only help get the drill in the center, but also help get the bolt loosened if it's tight on the threads.
