I'm in the mountains, Lawson. Will travel, I just want to get the damn thing Blued

$150, pick it up next weekend?

I have a HR31 that needs a Blue Slip (brought it over with me from SA). I need someone who's not going to 'notice' the silvertop 20DET, Haltech, Front Mount, 040, K&N CAI kit or Koni/Bilstien standard design lowered and stiff suspension. It's smack on the lowest legal in SA, but I'm not sure about NSW. Any PMs with names/numbers/contacts would be greatly appreciated, and the person supplying the guy that finally does it will earn themselves a 6-pack of their chosen alcoholic beverage.

Powershift is designed for those times when you are towing or need to get up a hill or overtake. It won't huret leaving it on all the time, just means that it will shift later when your giving it some.

I'd be ringing a trans place if your worried about the power shift. As for the bolt, just drill it out, and heli-coil it. Easy. Or if you can drill it out without stuffing the thread, then it's even easier.

Hey, cheers. I have all that, no issues there. Just need to know the dimensions of the pallet/skid it would be going on, and the weight. Any ideas? I can't get a quote without it.

On a similar topic to this, is there any other AFM that would work? RB one maybe if the plug was wired right? I ask because I want to put a pod on for that fully hektik induction noise and have an RB20DET AFM sitting here doing SFA.

Awesome! If there's anything missing/needs replacing, I'd rape the one I have, so a dizzy isn't a problem, it looks like it's been rebuilt not long ago (rotor isn't blackened at all and it's pretty much spotless inside. I'll ring a couple of transport places tomorrow and PM you.

Am looking for a complete engine that I can just bolt in, plug in and turn the key.

nvm, I found threads, too much head f**k. Will find an L24 or 28. NA of course.

Right, worked out that the 3 head bolts that broke are fused to the head, not the block. I'm going to cut my losses and grab another motor. PnPL want $600 for one. But, what I want to know is, would it be a complete head f**k dropping an RB30 into it?

Looks like something like this is what I'm going to have to use. Anyone know where they are available locally? And perhaps at a better price (brand not an issue)

The manual wasn't available when I looked before, but the '77 Datsun 280Z one is downloading now.

I have the chain held with a couple of coat hangers through the links, so it's not going anywhere. The problem is, I can't get the cam gear off, as there is no compression to stop the motor from turning. It's also auto, so no chance to putting it in gear either. Is there a tensioner or something that I can access down further? I don't want to go pulling the radiator and everything out if there's no point.

Still having trouble getting the head off. How do I loosen the timing chain? I can't see any way of accessing the lower half.
