How did your mate get you back? Love how you made him do the gay disco dancing.

Here is my stereo install. I think it is the best stereo option for a Datsun Z car.

If I can get the guy to respond to my messages/posts for a price. Doesn't seem to want to get me a price or has forgotten.

Just don't do my Lambo retrim before me.

Don't make one on account of me, I pulled my stereo out on purpose. What about a stretched cloth then fiberglass resin over the back to seal it?

HA! Good analogy.

Looking good mate, are you going to make them a sealed box or will it be firing into the back lights?

I thought you said you had almost finished the rust repairs on your 2+2. HA

Cool, just mentioned it as my mate went from a RB20 (with over head manifold) to RB25 (with side manifold) in an R32 skyline which fit. Then when he went to a RB30 with side manifold it was too high, had to remount it lower and further back.

How much room between the engine and the hood is left by the castlemain kit? You know that the RB30s are higher blocks then any of the other RBs?

No oil in the water, no water in the oil. Haven't had a chance to pull the plugs to see if oil in combustion chambers (Away from car for few days), it was also running really well so wouldn't have caught it if I didn't pop the bonnet. I did catch it within 30 seconds though. I am hoping it is just a really bad leak, HA! Got to live in hope. It has been weeping for a while, but this time a fair bit of oil came out from the other end of the block.

Got the new tires yet? Few hard corners to see the difference between cheap and decent tires?

I am another happy customer with LSV, they actually took interest in my 2+2 where shannons laughed me off the phone when I wanted to insure it with them. Cheap too, I only pay ~250 a year and that was when I told them I had only 2 points on my license from 3 different fines (2 in the corollas though).

Will definitely be putting a pressure input to the computer now.

Actually not quite right. The boost did not go above 14 pound (which is what I had it tuned for and is much better controlled then the previous bleed valve, I have logging on the computer so can see how the boost reacted). I took the oil dipstick out to see how much oil I had and to get a clearer photo. Definitely leaking from head (although I hate to say it).

Well I started cleaning my engine bay earlier this week, bit of painting parts, claying existing paint and removing/relocating extraneous parts. I also installed a new boost valve which is being controlled by my computer instead of the existing bleed valve. Few runs with the new setup and it was building/holding boost very steadily. It was a quick run and I got it home about 30 seconds after the last kickdown. I tell you all this because I open the bonnet and see this The gasket was on it's way out as I had noticed a bit of weeping at the front of the engine for a while, but still annoying. I had planned on pulling the engine out and pulling it down for a look (Previous owner did the rebuild but I don't know the state of the engine). However I wasn't going to do that until I got my shed built (won't be until ~ April). So all that was to say I probably won't be making the February show. If I pull the engine down before Feb, I don't think I will be able to stop at a simple head gasket, I will end up getting the while I am at it fever.

Lots of good deals happening down south. Good luck with the sale.

Datsun EVO. HA!

So what tires are you getting? (Type not size, well size as well)

As I understand they only ever came as personal imports. Couple of guys on this forum have them.

I am thinking about them. Will do some research on them first. What size rims are you running that they won't clear? 16s, 15s? I am running 17s with quite a lot of room, so I think they should be fine.

Just had a look at the photos If those cars are no good to you guys (saw the shiny engine bays), then my car is going to look crap!

I think I should be able to make the february one. Car is in no way a show quality car (I like to think of it as a 10' car, good from 10' away), but I'll polish it up anyway. Brad

I really should have read your post rather then just re-typing what you had hey. HA. Sorry about that. Cool little helper too. He looks old enough to start saying is this the 10 mm spanner you needed?

I don't think you would want that large a tire on the front. So get NZeder to buy 4 off 15x8 and swap him to 10s for 2 8s. All joking aside, it's starting to come together mate.
