Yeah Im taking mine down. Steering wheel looks good mate

A slightly revised update, while not all love the cover, it's staying on for now.

However...

After buying a few under bonnet things for the creation of my own unique hot rod I couldn't quite find the right thing. Last year I tried to aquire Cousin Leighs old quad throttle injection set up but I was unsuccessful and I was pining a little for it. But I have just secured it and it and after I put down the final payment it will be brought back home to roost under the bonnet of Fang.

A reminder of the injection setup to refresh the old memory.




It will look slightly different in my bay, being grey and all, and I might mount the coils differently but now it looks like I'll need to start thinking about a brake conversion...

I didn't buy the A15 as I couldn't afford it but i do have an A14 with a mild cam and a GX head to put on it. I wonder what it will go like... Now to rebuild the 5 speed and sort out one of the H145 3.9:1's into an alloy center. Maybe I'll do that another time. I don't think I'll notice the difference saving 5kg when I weigh over 100...

Does it include the don blanking plate too for the dizzy?

Nice buy and hope mega squirt comes along too. Now you need a laptop totune it and store your kiwi porn

Mmmm. Kiwi porn. You mean this right?




And NO Mik. It is not an invitation for you to spam my thread with rubbish.

she's looking great don, love what you have done with fang

cant wait to see more

what about the mica motor don

The Micra motor is not a dead project by any means. In fact I want to set it up in the spare parts car. I had a crack at getting it off the back lawn to pull the diff out flexed the back panel and chunks of bog fell out everywhere. that car is not destined for greatness so a trial fit of the CR14 DE will happen this year for sure. I have a 60A 4 speed for it and a flywheel coming too. But when it gets properly underway I'll cover all that in another thread.

Fang however, is destined for greatness. So in the end I will have 2 Datsun 1000's, both 1.4L and megasquirt powered. And it will be good to have a comparison between them as to value for money with the output between them.

While I'm happy that the injection finally arrived during last week after what seems like an eternity, it did arrive without the crank pulley or exhaust system. I have the main components including the extractors at least. But the ECU was just thrown in a box on top of the throttle bodies and bounced its way down the hume so I guess I will be lucky if it ever works again.

So now I am pondering what to do engine wise. I am tempted to put an early A12 in, simular to a GX setup as I have a GX head and I'm sure I could get a few more ponies out of it and make it fairly smooth running and have a good wide torque band but I am also tempetd to put in the A14 with a wilder cam and try and aquire around 100hp at the wheels. That would be good. I am confused a bit as I have so many ideas and I don't want to regret the final decision that I make.

It has to be a tasetful old school like streeter, reliable and predictable.

AAArrgghh. Stupid brain. Make a decision dammit.

Quads and computer on the bonnet of another Thou.

So how did all this bounce down the Hume!?

Imagine the throttle bodies at the bottom of a large plastic container, and then the ecu on top of that with the harness. Extractors were taped to the outside of the carton. Then it was couriered to Melb from Wollongong... Twice. Alledegdly he sent it to the wrong address first.
