Awesome stuff mate, cant wait to see the progress pics and updates. :icon_thum

Hey mate saw the car stripped at Nicko's place. Nice work, if you boys need a hand giv me a shout.

ok gents here we go, didnt get as much done over the weekend as anticipated. mainly due to the car was initially going ot be a street car so i kept the AC and original loom etc.

however due to the change of scope, i had to do some more stripping i.e. AC, loom, original brake components.

also i had to re-clean the shed as i hadnt been in there for 2 months and yeah other people had been working in there and covered it in all their crap.

so i found my car as per the below

OK, so if anyone can guess what engine is going in the datsun below - i will do a build thread on it. its a car my brother "the locksmith" is building as a dedicated burnout car - Robin doesnt count

plan for next weekend is to score some dry ice to make short work of the sound deadening in the car, pressure wash the engine bay and interior. tidy up the rust in the engine bay and check for structural integrity, install Z3 steering rack and if i dont have to work saturday i will do you guys a teaser of a Red Top SR20DET installed in the bay i bought for mock up purposes.


Cheers,

answer to previous questions

i couldnt find a 2 door in good enough condition for reasonable money, where as this 4 door was in mint condition all the panels where straight, some minor rusting in the usual locations it had a log book with all the services :| a doctor in albany originally bought it 1990 march. ran like a dream until i tried to blow up the original engine. picked it up for 2k where as the 2 doors people wanted like 7k for a POS. although i admit the 2 door would have been way cooler.

Rob all assistance is appreciated - fair efforts compensated with free beer.

Great project mate! Will be watching this one! :)

i wonder if they got the conversion kit from the same company - as they also did 2jz's conversions etc. are they building the car for circuit or drag?

this is good for a giggle, i posted on a yankee time attack forum back in the day, when i was considering using a F20C from a S2000. finally checked it again just to see if anyone had commented - 90% recomending some form of V8 lol yip ei ki ay mo farkers
