Well it started life as a stock 1200 4 speed ute, A12 with a lumpy cam, extractors and a home built 2.5in exhaust. It was enough to push it down the Townsville 1/4mile in 18.8 seconds starving for fuel from the stock carb. Well those days are long gone and the following list is what its now got.

-Nissan Silvia front brakes on 120y hubs with Kev Rowley adaptors
-new KYB shocks all round
-all new ball joints, tie rod ends, bushes etc
-MADDAT sway bar
-MADDAT brake booster, alloy backing plate, heavy duty clutch pedal and hydraulic clutch set up.
-R31 skyline rear diff shortened to fit
-custom heavy duty prop shaft to suit
-R31 skyline fuel tank with Kev Rowley filler pipe
-Nissan TRX 15in alloys
-CA18DET 5 speed with new bearings and seals
-NPC Billet steel flywheel and heavy duty clutch all secured with ARP fastners.
-CA18DET rebuilt with mahle pistons
-Nissan Silvia radiator
-Garrett GT2560r
-Ebay special Top mount exhaust manifold
-K&N Apollo air intake/filter setup
-3in home built mandrel exhaust
-Ebay 600x300x76 intercooler
-Aeroflow remote oil filter/cooler set up
-XF ford throttle body on home built adaptor.
-Ported intake manifold to suit the larger throttle body.
-Ported intake runners with the butterfly setup removed.
-Fuel system consists of Aeromotive stealth 340lph intank pump, Proflow fuel filter, Billet turbochargers custom fuel rail, Aeromotive FPR and ID1000cc injectors all these are connected with -6 Aeroflow 200 series teflon lined braided hose and proflow fittings.
-there might be a few things I have left out but I will keep you informed

Things to come;
-Haltech platinum sport 1000 ECU setup to run MAFless tune on E85
-Haltech Racepack dash
-lockrite diff lokka or LSD (undecided)
-heaps of little things that I havent thought of yet.

The aim is to have a fun daily driver that I can punish down the quarter mile whenever the need arrises. The Haltech can run dual maps so one will be E85 and the other pump fuel. I'll be happy with 200hp to 250hp at the wheels and hoping it will be ultra reliable.

Well thats all for now, I got a few pics in my photo album http://datsun1200.com/modules/myalbum/viewcat.php?cid=188 so have a little looksy, cheers for reading.

Sounds nice buddy!!!!

Good idea to run the dual fuel maps.. I was going to run mine on E85 but decided it was just over kill and will be able to get the power I want without having to run it.. And the fact that not many pumps here in Adelaide have it.... We run our race cars on it so always have heaps but still a pain in the ass...

Good luck with it all mate!!!

Good stuff mate. Where did you get your fuel rail and injectors from?
Haltech now have a flex sensor which works with the sports ecu's so it will automatically change the fueling based on how much or how little ethanol you are running.

Gday,
I got the injectors from VPW for around $120 each and another few bucks for the 11mm fuel rail adaptor.
As for the fuel rail its was from these guys http://www.billetturbochargers.com/index.ews I think it was just over 200 bucks.

I didnt know that about the haltech, cheers for the heads up.

Here is a little progress shot of whats been done so far in the engine bay.

looking good!

Cheers mate, heres a pic of the adaptor I had to modify so the turbo would fit neatly between the shock tower and the head on the new top mount manifold. Even with the modified adaptor I still had to massage the shock tower so the coolant lines and turbo blanket would fit.

Trying to get the right engine/gearbox angle is a pain in the BUM, fingers crossed this is close enough for my setup.

FINALLY built my bloody gearbox crossmember. Now that the engine angle is fixed all other other jobs can be started/finished.

And now for the turbo's dump pipe. Since going the top mount route I've had to make a new dump pipe to suit but its all good now. I made it from a few left over bits of 3in exhaust doughnut and pipe. I am not running a seperate screamer pipe so I dont know if that will affect anything?
