  1. Ill surely catch up , when im down that way next Just seeing IF i want to move the front end forward 300 MM or not Difference being a 90 " wheelbase or a 102" wheelbase Either way the larger of the two shafts should ,well maybe, do the job Ill hopefully have all this sorted by the time im down that way
  2. Thanks for the look, greg Ive gotta set the l28/auto up in the chassis, for the liitle toy im doin So the front yoke has to fit the auto box,and whatever length tailshaft is good enuf to do the job ill try and track down The rear of the shaft has to be modded to fit a hilux diff centre Trials and tribulations of building a hybrid
  3. Hey Guys, n perhaps some gals Im looking for info on the tailshaft length of the L28 auto tailshaft in the Z eds From uni centre to uni centre Is the auto front yoke the same on other models Is the auto front yoke ,interchangeable with a manual front yoke (IE same size unis) IF it is , maybe a manual tailshaft length from uni centre to uni centre Thanks lads
  4. It doesnt do nice things to alloy Im doin a wee tank of molasses,ill throw an old crappy manifold in , see what shape it comes out as
  5. Just throw this in here perhaps for future reference Dont use molasses There wont be any manifold left No i didnt do that,phew
  6. Plenty of meat , the letters are raised Mite just grind the "OHC" letters out
  7. Hey lads, As some are aware im building an L28 powered hot rod (well a rat rod, but some dont get the rat rod thing) Anyway is there a rocker cover factory that has either just "Nissan" or nothin at all that fits the L28 Ive seen the rocker covers with "Nissan OHC" or "Turbo" on them Its goin in a bonnet less rod,so the engine is for all to see Prefer a rocker cover with nothin , then i could play "Guess what motor that is" If theres such a piece, maybe what model it could be found on Thanks lads Not exactly "Z' related, but is there anywhere else L28 related
  8. I thought the wet n dry trick with autosol mite do But the ruff cast finish is harder to clean than the machined edge of a wheel
  9. Hey lads I scored a set of twin carbs of galderdi (Greg,again thanks bud) Im in the process of cleaning it all up Ive scrubbed em down with degreaser and a toothbrush But the dirty oily marks in the alloy , AARRGH Ive heard molasses is good paint stripper ,cleaner,but on alloy Mate mentioned bicarb of soda What do you guys use Also what about polishing them
  10. Dont most of our cars have like female names/nick names I say no more on the subject
  11. A trans cooler helps keep the tranny fluid cooler On a normal car,that doesnt get flogged ,you shouldnt need it But IF your gunna give the auto a hidin Sure put 1 in Most people put them in when they tow alot with autos,make them last a bit longer Im using 1 in my rat project with a stock auto,as i dont have room to run a big radiator

    cd strombergs

    Why did they run outta puff at 215Ks Was the engine at max revs for the speed,was everything else up to goin faster OR maybe you had a hyundai excel in front you couldnt get around Diff gears,tyre size ect can make all the difference at top end Had a fully worked 6 powered LJ torrie,that at just under 6,000 rpm was at 140Ks It was set up for the 1/4 mile,but boy it got to 140 real fast

    Increasing Torque

    Ive seen some no name brand components used in engines, that absolutely whip the brand name big $$$ engines Ive lost count how many people spent heaps on brand name products, that dont match Then complain nothin works in unison
  14. Good thread,nice piccies Good to see im not the only one who likes to use nissan metal in nissan rust repairs I love the non "cheque book " build threads
  15. Various car clubs ,mite help Itll help guage theyre worth But what theyre worth and what you actually get are 2 different things MANY resort to on line auctions or auction houses as , what they sell is what theyre worth on the day just cause its not a ford or chev doesnt mean its not worth much See if you can track down old copies of unique cars and such,that can help as well As for vintage tin in brissie Anyone got any old cars/bodies or such For a project im doin Not fussed on make/brand Shoot me a PM
