Re: California Fires

Wow Chad, so sorry to hear this. Glad you are ok, and you seem to have a good attitude about everything. I have lived a lot of my life in tornado country, but fire is a scarier threat.

Best wishes on rebuilding your life.

Re: Installing headliner without rear pillar interior vents -- issues?

What kind of problems are you considering, airflow? There's always the vent windows if nice weather. If they are to be added later, that doesn't pose a problem. I cut the holes and installed mine after the headliner was in place.

Re: FS: Headliner bow set

Set sold on ebay.

If someone comes across this and desperately needs a set, I do have another set I am saving for any potential future project. I would let them go for a good home.

Re: Starter issues

If the power cable is 6 gauge from the battery all the way to the starter, that is too small and can't move enough current. Usually the battery cables just in the engine compartment are 4 gauge. I used 0 or 00 fine-strand welding cable to do mine. It should probably be at least 2 gauge for that leng...

Re: Which Rear Camber And Toe Product?

I have the Datsport on my race car, and have contemplated the Byron brackets for my street car. One thing different in my understanding is the Byron brackets and probably the Maddat version only provide adjustment on the inner, the outer remains stock bracket. Pros/cons of this are not something I f...

Correct. Some US 510s have that system, but not all. Early years do not for sure.

Re: Datsun/Subaru R180- What if?

Not exactly, and I guess I need more backstory. My vintage race 510 with L18 currently has a 4.11 I believe with a Quaife ATB in it. That's what prior owner told me and I have not been in it to check yet. Will do the verification this winter. I want to get a steeper gear in it. My friend who races a...

Datsun/Subaru R180- What if?

OK, I have been ruminating about rear differentials that last couple days, looking for higher (numerically) options for the race track. Not interested in trying to find a Subaru clutch or Torsen R180 diff with a ratio I don't want, so theorizing a different combo. Subaru 4.44 ring and pinion set Qua...

Re: SR20DET Turbo Oil Drain fitting & JBC Coachwerks R&P Interference

Weld on an aluminum fitting to shorten how far it extends? That fitting you show above may work since it's the forged shape and short radius. I have used that type (-8) for valve cover outlets on L-series. I can't speak to whether BSPT as I have no experience with the SR, but it most likely is. To g...

Re: L20b installation question

Idle? What rpm? I've seen comments before that 20 is adequate at idle. What's the max, or is 30 the max you are seeing?

My race car (shimmed spring, hi flow pump, L18) makes about 40 at idle.
