I see the ute around from time to time....looks the goods. :)
The zed actually hasn't changed too much in that time....well nothing obvious anyway. However, plenty of bits and pieces behind the scenes have been replaced in that time. I'm currently (slowly) building a new engine which should be in soonish.
The 310. I'm not going to touch it for now being my daily and also I don't want to start any big projects seeing as I probably wont be up here anymore after I've finished uni around August. However, long term I'm looking into an engine swap to a VQ25DE (215HP 2.5L all alloy V6 from the V35 skyline) would be a hoot in a nice light car like this, and not too heavy to badly upset the weight balance.
At this stage I'm just researching what I can do suspension and drivetrain wise as I really am still a beginner with these cars. Alternatively, I can get my hands on a stanza front end quite easily so could chuck an L20B in there.....that wouldn't be too bad.
We also have to two sunny fastback wagons destined for dirt duties, one with an A14 and the other a rooted A15. I have a spare L20B sitting around here so might chuck that in basher sunny II, see how it goes. Anyone want a tired A15? :)
If I remember I'll give you a yell next time we're all out for a cruise...I'm keen to have a good look at your ute. :)
