Hahaha the compressor housing does make it look massive from the front but its not over the top looks bigger than it is, it is thin from the side like Anth mentioned it should be fun once up and going though. I expect it to spool up nicely being twin scroll etc but I wont find out for a while hahaha. The DR30 half shafts might be the same I have no idea haha. Cheers, Richard |

Car is looking awesome dude. One thing, the late model R200 long nose actually come with 12mm crown wheel (so HR31, Z31 etc), early models as you have are 10mm (260/280z). Just in case you have access to a late model diff. |

So I have rebuilt my wiper motor, cleaned the bushes up, rewired, and painted it low gloss black. I still need to connect a plug on the end of the loom but will do that at a later date once installed in the car haha. It was pretty easy I followed this guide. http://dimequarterly.blogspot.com.au/20 ... build.html The rebuild of the steering box is finished. I bought a rebuild kit from datsport. I followed the Datsun 1600 manual I have. The hardest part was accessing tooling to shim the worm gear drive bearing pre-load. Luckily at work I have some torque dial indictors so I was able to do it fairly easily. I used Penrite steering box lube because the SAE 90 oil leaks and weeps to much. Hopefully it will be a good lube for it and last a long time. I Painted it low gloss black also. I used engine enamel because it has more resistance to oils and chemicals. I have also started work on my 71 model 1600. I will be starting a build thread on it soon. I am only doing a small restoration to get it back on the road, I need a working Datsun I'm having withdrawals lol. It will only have a stock L series in it, going to make it granny spec haha. Ill still be working on this hopefully I can progress both at the same time haha. Plan is to have the 71 on the road at the end of the year here's hoping. Cheers, Richard |

Mirrors are still available from Nissan. Not sure about black version though. Selling off the performance gear and going L series I'm pretty sure |
