hi what differential did you use or is it the standard differential?

haha yeah im hearing ya, but once its running thats it, im defiantly not painting it, interior is staying the same, wheels are staying etc.
Mite add some cams, gears, head work, hydro hand brake etc. along the track but thats all pissy little weekend jobs.
Pretty stoked how its turned out that, wasnt easy trying to build it over 3 years on an apprentice wage in a carport.

I remember saying "pretty much done" ... 6 months later well, it's pretty much done

keep up the good work

finished all the wiring, turned over on the first #OOPS#, everything is sparking, charging and running right.
Have done the fuel system but not really happy with it, gonna run a regulator, gauge and plumb a return line. Engine sounds healthy turning over, with a fresh set of plugs and timing it should kick over no worries. \
Also put in a new clutch fork and bled the maddat kit.
Have got a TRD 2 way to put in when i can track down a ute diff housing to modify, may need to modify the tail shaft to fit the diff flange but doesn't look to big of a job.
Once thats done its just a matter of bolting the radiator in, thermo fan wiring is done, sus out what i wanna do with rear suspension, new exhaust and she will be pretty much done.

gettin closer

Thanks mate, how is yours coming along?

going great so far!!!! top choice of engine ...

Cheers, yeah i know they are not the best looking mounts, if an engineer or scrutineer aint happy then ill grind them off and make some flash looking ones, no biggie, im leaning towards getting it club rego'd as there is no chance i will drive it more than 90 days a year, i would like to attend events and the price is right.

I didnt move the engine back, it come out of a 1200 ute with the same box and tail shaft so i lined it all up from that point if your picking up what im putting down, still need to fit a maddat sway bar to clear the sump.

Was doing a landscaping apprenticeship but have recently thrown that in as being 26, trying to pay rent and eat let alone try and put a datsun together on $11 an hour isn't the easiest thing in the world.

The seats fit in great, had to drill a couple of holes in the passenger side to move them out 5mm and the same plus a 5mm spacer on the drivers side so i can run the stock slider.

Have not started it yet, my dog ate one the vacuum sensor but also wanna upgrade the water setup as old mate was running FWD 4age gear which im not a fan of and i also wanna make some changes to the fuel system.

awesome build so far... are you an apprentice fitter/machinist or toolmaker?

those recaro seats look like they fit great
