No they never got caught. They just stopped Turbos from running in Bathurst against the V8's anyway. The 007 secret button ay. Or somewhat like the Maxwell Smart Gun in the Biro trick.

nah there was a good write up of this with the bluebird turbos in zoom years ago. they used a factory knob and modeed it as a boost controller. They would boost the hell out of it for qualifying, then change the turbo over for the race and moderate the boost accordingly. It was the battery or radio knob or something.

They never got coaught by scretuerneeirng. other mods were done too.

Yeah thats right They were the Z18 and the reason they frightened the jesus out of the V8's to be honest Is because it was a very cold and miserable day and the bluebird crew said lets crank the turbo right up, hence why it did so well. Never to be repeated.Though they are very quick in our beloved little datto's especially the 1200. There is a 200b on ebay with L series engine and Z18 head and turbo setup at present.

they were Z18 engines. very closely related to L series bottom ends.

Too easy, Im willing to talk anyone into putting lseries in their car.

Yeah the L16 brown car is registerd properly.

180b speedo cable should work, im using a stanza one which sort-of fits, its just not the best fit on the rear of the speedo. 180b box could be longish so will need shortened t/shaft.

cheers!

Thanks mate. Herd 180B speedo cable will fit 1200 ? So would assume 1200 fits 180b 4 speed. By the way Sean. Thanks heaps for the great info matey. hope i can pick your brains some more in the coming weeks. Are any of yours street registered with L series ?

If your using that L18, you'll need a stanza or bluey sump and redrill dipstick hole to front of motor.
