hi guys i thought i would start a build thread for my 1600 that i have had for about 3-4 years.



didn't look to bad (apart from the sh*t cooler and big wheels) BUT as with most old cars the wiring was so bogy it court fire within 1 month of buying it so first of was a re wire and re build the break booster that was shaged.
it did have a bit going for it l20 with flat top pistons,massive cam, 32/36 weber, 280zx gear, r180 diff, 240k struts and breaks.
The l20b has had the head replaced with a ported w53, stranded sss cam, twin su's that were promptly followed by twin dellortos and an s2 dizzy.
after a few years driving it as a daily she has been pulled of the road for a rebuild.
the windows were left in right to the end because of the sh*t wether as it was all unfortunately done outside but still turned put ok

new sss dash from japan with dash and engine harness

Hi looks great with sss dash and wheel...
Kinoko beige now?

Mmmm Very Nice

Looks great man, chuck up some pics of your cooler setup. With the 400x300 coolers, just shows how much of a better fit they are with that extra 50mm less.

thanks fellers. yep its koniko beige the 400x300 coolers do fit well but its not fitted yet just sitting where the radiator should be.
