    Yes, the 680G is officially For Sale. After 2 years building it, I unfortunately need to move it on to keep plowing ahead with the Alfarrari and 911 builds. In this video I do the final few touches to finish it off.

    Awesome! Time for a trip to Bunnings I think. Thanks for that.
  3. HomeBuiltByJeff
    I did use some white grease on the sliders and I spent a fair bit of time trying to adjust the alignment. The window is still not tracking straight, so I think it needs somefurther attention. Bunnings option? What option is that. Please tell
  4. HomeBuiltByJeff
    Still not happy with the windows. They wind up and down slightly better, but they are still not right.

    This is my 3rd attempt at repairing my dash and hopefully the last. This time I have a go at flocking.

    It was a long build, but my Datsun 240z affectionately know as the 680g is done. Here is the whole build from start to finish.
  7. HomeBuiltByJeff
    Thanks mate. It is actually working ok now. It does read low, but it reads, so I can still see what is going on.
  8. HomeBuiltByJeff
    The issue I find, is I give it a few pumps, but it coughs and misses on at least 2 cylinders and gets worse. If I then pull the plugs and give them a quick clean it is Ok, but it will still generally have a miss, so I have to hold some revs into it to get it to clear it's throat and then it's fine.

    The I thought one was a 260 door, but I think I worked out it wasn't (can't remember exactly now), but the bailey channel is complete toast, and I know as soon as I changed it on my 911, it made a huge difference, so I at least hope that is the bulk of it I might have had a bit of a baffle in the exhaust just to make sure it was quiet enough for rego, that I may have only taken out today. So if that was the case, the tune may have been affected by that

    The 680g is finally registered and in this episode I get to take it out on the road. Spoiler, it sounds awesome!
  11. HomeBuiltByJeff
    I finally have my meeting with the engineer to see if he is happy to sign off on all of my modifications. Fingers crossed.
  12. HomeBuiltByJeff
    Now the car is running I just have a few bits and pieces to sort out before I can get it registered.
  13. HomeBuiltByJeff
    I finally sort out the running issues and no surprises it was my fault. We then tune it up on the dyno and get that final figure.
  14. HomeBuiltByJeff
    In this episode I delve a bit deeper into the tuning issues on the 680G.
  15. HomeBuiltByJeff
    Many of you have been asking me what is happening and I finally have an update for you, and some info on where I am planning to go in the future.
  16. HomeBuiltByJeff
    It is finally time to do something a bit more permanent about my spray booth.
  17. HomeBuiltByJeff
    Thanks guys. I still have some tweaks and I need to sort out the rego, but I am looking forward to properly driving it
  18. HomeBuiltByJeff
    After 18 long months of tinkering in the garage, I finally get to drive the 680G.
  19. HomeBuiltByJeff
    In this episode I sort out my timing issues and tune the car using the colour tune.
  20. HomeBuiltByJeff
    It was 450 Euro, so around $900, but from all accounts, if you are staying with a distributor, this is the best.
  21. HomeBuiltByJeff
    I tried the timing light on all of the different leads, and it is definitely in the correct order. I think the tooth of the drive is the issue.
  22. HomeBuiltByJeff
    I did fit the dizzy drive to that pic, but I am thinking I need to double check it as I believe it could be 1 tooth out.
  23. HomeBuiltByJeff
    In this episode I fit a 123 distributor to the 680g to hopefully get it running properly once and for all.
  24. HomeBuiltByJeff
    In this episode I revisit replacing the wheel studs and fit the sway bar and bushings.
  25. HomeBuiltByJeff
    In this episode I fail to fit new wheel studs, but I swap in the new fuel filler and some other bits.
