I learnt that with my second CA. It's virtually impossible to change the hoses under the plenum so I waited till I replaced the motor and then fitted new EVERYTHING!

Hey Guys. Time for another update.

I've got a whole lot of JUN/Tomei bits for the valvetrain. They'll go in over the next couple of months. Waiting on the lifters (should only be a week or two) and will need to measure them up before ordering the lifter shims.

I also got a new 0.64 housing machined to suit the big turbine in my turbo..wow what a different car to drive!.. I mean totally. Although that might have something to do with the raised boost I got by changing the housing. Now pushing closer to 13psi, and the rear end gets loose in a straight line, and old people are waving at me angrily as I drive past with the engine on full song.

I need to sort out my front end, when I back off on the fun pedal, the car feels very unstable at over 100kmh. Probably just needs a little more toe-in or castor, but with the stanza lower arms, the negative camber is quite obvious. I plan on taking it to someone that knows their suspension/datsun stuff, for them to sort it out once and for all. The last wheel alignment guy had no idea, which kind of scared me off them for a while.

I've got a few places in mind to do the suspension.

I put an alarm in the car the other day. That went well.

The car is definitely fun again. Got rego due next month! I need to get a couple of little niggling things sorted before I start dreaming of track days.
