Yeh should be just enough room. I'll be able to put my new ratchet ring spanners to use haha

Massive update to be coming soon. Car is running, goes great except carbies need a good tune and air box. Hopefully do a full update tomorrow.

Cheers

nice project, is that the original datsun colour?

Cool. Looking forward to seeing this done.
Will ditch the A12A in my B210 later in favour of the original L14 (with L18 bits inside of course :D)

hey mate yeh it is original turquoise. been to busy to look at it lately, which is really annoying i just want it done!

SharmCos - sounds good took mine for a drive the other night, so much of an improvement over the a series.

Reviving an old thread haha here's a video to get everyone a bit excited!

Went and seen the engineer today, come across a few potential issues:
- main concern is that because the engine is a 50% power (i thought he may have meant capacity but he said power) increase, the car needs to have a collapsable steering column. So first question is do they? Its a 74 model as well.
- speedo being in the road of a few warning lights (autometer electric unit is mounted on the steering column shroud)
- get reverse lights working as i cant seem to fit a switch in, may have to set something activated by the gear stick (thinking along the lines of a proxy switch etc)
- get the blow by breather hoses hooked up to the air filters, easy done.

Thats about it i think, I'll try to keep you posted as best I can.

That's not a massive list. Good stuff. Check my build for reverse switch idea I stole off Levey.

unfamilia had a read of your thread, saw your part on the microswitch and got me thinking. I am electrician so went to the local wholesaler and they recommended a jaycar product. at $3.50 i cant complain, as long as finding somewhere to mount it wont be an issue it will be ideal

stupid image code wouldnt work, but heres the the link: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SM1039

Yep that's the Shiz

Does anyone have any info as to whether the steering column is collapsible?
