Hi fellas.

Got more done on my Datto this weekend.

I fabricated up some aluminium plate and mounted a new adjustable fuel regulator.

The old man made up a fuel rail adapter.

Also managed to change the stud PCD on an Ebay Turbo dump pipe to suit a 3inch flange, that has a 3.25 inch PCD, instead of the 3inch PCD of the standard Nissan dump pipe. So remember if you buy a dump pipe from ebay, it may say 3inch, but it can only fit a 2.75inch pipe flange.

I also pulled my brake lines apart again. I'm throwing away the splitter valve, and instead using a straight splitter on the front line and a wilwood line pressure adjuster valve on the rear. Got a new brake master cyilnder to replace the potentially faulty one (even after re-kitting it).

I modified and polished up the turbo too.

Also trial fitted the Maddat Steering Box support bracket. I found it doesn't clear a body bracket for holding the original brake lines. So if you plan on buying one, and have a ca18, and haven't removed all of the brackets in the engine bay, then this could be an issue for you, like it is for me. I need to grind/chisel the bracket off to fit the Maddat steering kit. Might have to take the engine out.

So there, things are moving along. I'm taking four days off over next weekend to get enen more done. I really want it finished soon. Considering I've hardly driven it for the 16 months I've had it registered.
