Correct, that would be Doug. Get your Speedway On!! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/datsun-260Z-speedway-car-manual-dirt-race-circuit-/251589049238?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

I take a sample of a chassis rail i need bent up to the local metal fabrication shop. Usually only takes a couple of days and you can even extend them right to the rear chassis if you get them made long enough.

That many trophies and he wants someone to look at it. Too Weird! :-\

Road trip Tai. You take the wheel and i'll drink the beers.

Hook it to your handbrake. Choke on to start then warm up, handbrake off and go. Would suck if you need to do a roll start on a steep hill but. Dale has an efi setup that would be better suited to a stock engine.

My bad Gav I think the best part is the fact the old points type dizzys don't have that fragility to them and the cost is competitive too. Not sure if one produces more spark than the other. The Mallory units are Nearly $800, i have one here but it's bolted to Andrews Stroker. I would love to give it a spin as it looks trick as.

You can leave the ballast resistor on but i prefer to remove it, it will work both ways but better to have the full voltage. The best thing about having electronic ignition is there are no parts that touch to create spark so it's more accurate but we all know how much points suck. Sure makes tuning those carbs easier too.

Yep that will work. Plug and Play item you just set them and forget. The base plates in the 280ZX Dizzy is fragile and often break. With this setup you won't have that issue.

Why don't you try the Pertronix system Vivek? Works just the same and they are not as fragile as the 280ZX Dizzys.

The difference between the 3.3 and the 3.7 in my Zed (bear in mind that it's V8 C4 Auto) was 15 kph on the highway. Had no trouble chewing up LS1 powered cars with the 3.7 around town.

I will not be the only one here who will fail to see $9000 in what you have mentioned. In most cases parts are the same price as labour so is there $4500 of parts there? I think not.

Should be there by now

I have a 3.7 R200. Not much good to you?

An engine is only as good as it's built. I put a paddock spec 302 in mine and caned it for 15000 kays. Chev conversions are more popular because some smart bunny designed a kit for it. I have the book at home.

It varies a little too depending what accessories you run on your engine and the type of transmission you run. The C4 Auto hooked up very easily and the shifter had only two small modifications to enable it to work. A manual would be considerably more expensive. My Zed runs mid 13's because it will top out at 185 KPH.

I would say you would want to spend at least 6k on an engine and then another 4-5k on an install. Sump, exhaust, tailshaft, transmission crossmember and front engine plate all have to be custom made. A stock 302 Cleveland will make the same power as an L28 but a bunch more torque. Spend 6 grand on one and you'll get something upwards of 400hp, for 12 grand you would be around the 500hp mark which would require a diff conversion and a strengthened chassis. The first engine combo i had in made 157 RWHP and was good for a mid 13 second quarter. I have installed a stand in engine with more internal mods that is a lot stronger, i did this to pull the block out that it was engineered with to build a 393 stroker that is Nitrous capable. I just renamed the thread to make it easier to find http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,11096.msg111749.html#msg111749 And there's the facebook page which has a lot more photographic content https://www.facebook.com/PNK260 I would say the main problem for an S30 is you may be restricted to a lower cubic inch but that would require a calculation based on the vehicles weight to what size engine you can fit. My business page is below. https://www.facebook.com/StreetWeaponRestorations I will see if i can get the new engine combo on the dyno in the next few weeks and see what it's pulling, fuel economy is around 25 litres per 100 Kilometers city cycle with an auto (same as a H2 Hummer )

Probably timing case cover. Sounds like a good deal.

The top one i caught a look at in Bendigo. The owner spent a fair amont of time on it. Supercharger was pretty cool.

I checked out this page while doing my 302 V8 conversion. I like the mid mount crossmember idea. I heard the guy makes crossmembers to order. Has a sexy induction setup too.

I think i only have one. I can check tomorrow.

I have a near full set of spares.

I lost count of how many of these things i threw out.

Best introduction EVER. Welcome sir!

I did.
