Re: build date and year 1970 what month

I will fix that.

Too bad we did not keep going with this at the time, might have quite the reference data base now. 2017 was when Byron last updated.

Anybody else who wants to throw a number in, I can keep this going for a bit. Same format, handle or real name, whatever.

Re: My Brakes Suck!

What I did on mine, was to put a 1" section into the brake pedal arm. That both increased the leverage, and, it gave me more "feel", modulation of you will. Plus I bent it over a hair. I can measure that EXACTLY if you like, it has been awhile since I did that....40 years...sheesh.......

Hey Mike, let me know that this works, the link. It should help I think.

I have a favour to ask you in a bit, if you could bring something across the border for me as you offered.

Thanks,

Re: BACK TO MY NISSAN ROOTS

Hey Jason, The "one" pump I have fought the whole time with this car. That being said, when I put ALL new calipers on, REAR were factory and the fronts (NLA factory) I got from "POWERSTOP". With all new pads at the same time, they have been the best since I had the car. I put the...

Re: moar good videos :P

Again, Thanks! As I read some of the comments on YouTube, those that lived in California really lived the Motorsport dream of events. I'm pretty sure I have a picture or two of David's car. For us here in Vancouver, at the heyday of Westwood, our local track, we had some of the Trans-Am cars come an...

Re: moar good videos :P

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT!!! The closet I ever came to a Can-Am car was when David Saville Peck brought his car to our local hillclimb and once to our Westwood race track.. What a monster it was. We did get the Trans-Am series here. Thanks again, I am going to Chrome cast to my TV, pull out a pot o...

Re: New swap-4G63T

Very Nice! My car makes about 250 RWHP, which in my car, with 205/50 x 15 Yokohama 048's and soon to have A-052's. It was about the perfect balance of NOT doing anything too stupid when applying power exiting corners, more so in spirited canyon carving, which for me was/is critical to be able to USE...

Thanks! It was buried next to my fire suit. I thought about trying it on...but...I was afraid it might have shrunk..... :lol: I also found a re-built starter motor and 2 half shafts...win there.

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?

Crashing around in the Bert Vorgon Archives this morning and I came upon this BRAND NEW fuse box, in the original Nissan box.!! Wow, what are these worth these days? Do not even remember where I picked this up from. I also found a full factory roll of window felt, must have been left over from my wi...

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?

Another day of NOT what I did on the Datsun, but, the clean up continues in the Archives. May not mean much to most but after 55 years of Datsun's, I have amassed a lot of bits and pieces of ephemera. Only a hand full will recognize the ENGINE AIR decals, the beginning symbol of my journey into Turb...

Re: Return for a ka24de swap

Does fuel starvation happen in corners or going straight? We had that problem back in the 80's, as the pickup was on one side of the tank. We made a "well" or "sump" that always ensures fuel available. I think the injection guys all have some sort of surge tank. Others that are i...
