This is an awsome car.

On a different note those number plates with the red strip across em in ur pic,

does that mean they are temporary licence plates or is that how cars get defected in japan.

just curious....

yeah your on, temporary plates they are... you need them when your in the process of getting your car registered... there good for a week if you get them on a monday... lots of people also use them to temp-legalize a non-street legal car for a track day...

no idea where he got a shroud like that but i dont need one that big as you can see....

tape is just there temporary just FYI...

not to shabby, a bit high and the Aero is just slapped on but oh well....

the flake shows best in streetlamps and other night time artificial lights... in the sun the general shinyness of the car seams to mask the flake... but it still looks great, chicks dig it...

so its official we were gonna name her Dorthy but Betty seams to work better, when the song black betty just happened to come on when i was thinking of names...

some more car show pics...

2 stroke as in 200cc?

nah 2-stroke as in 2-cycle, not a 4 stroke, more like a motorcycle motor then a car...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_cycle

It actually drifts very well, i was surprised i knew it would do good, but the smoothness of the big car just makes it insanely easy to manipulate cause of the feel of sort of drifting in slow-motion... but it deffinatly doesnt stop as fast as my past drift cars (lighter and smaller).... didnt get any drift shots sorry, i was just f**king around....

on another note i will say that my suspension does beautifully at 200+ Kph we did the trip out to Daikoku this weekend.... and the car didnt have a shutter on the high speed turns... out handled a touge civic haha, and out ran a Rx7 so im happy....

unfortunatly the Tranny that came with the swap is less then perfect and i have to track down a replacement soon before i head to the track...

should be at a Gymkana on the 15th of June we'll get pics then....

thanks again for all the good words...

yea dats gud 2 hear :P

has it got a s13 box in it now? go s14? or reco da s14 if u got dat in it..

well its mean-ness will scare my ceffy off da road so da good words are granted :D

GL wit it all

    • I also understand psi but apparently most things make more sense in kpa oil pressure being one of a few exceptions so im trying to learn ahahahah, I have no idea of the relief spring pressure tbh I thought 110 which is the absolute peak it hits was about right, I was thinking of removing the relief and making sure it is in good condition, I would just replace it but couldn't find a replacement for an n1 pump too easily but I could just be blind.
    • It certainly does make sense that there is just no oil to pick up, but I can go 3 or 4 gears of WOT and have no oil pressure issues too (I have no logs of this unfortunately) and I have a fair amount of oiling mods to try and help only thing I'm missing is a rear head drain which is potentially the most helpful. 
    • speaking of the relief spring and noting this is one of those stupid times where I understand imperial (psi) but the graph is in metric (kpa), it looks like the oil pressure is a little low at full noise too, isn't the relief spring 120psi/830kpa?
    • No. All these dirty old Datsuns are shitboxes. Including the GTR.
    • Yeah well I was thinking...there is nothing that happens when you get off the throttle that should cause low oil pressure, its not like clearances suddenly change or and the relief spring would close and in any case the sensor is on the feed side....so more likely there was no oil available to pick up which means all the basic oil control stuff to: 1. keep oil out of the head (restrictors) 2. get it back out of the head when it gets there (external breathers/oil return, drilling out the block and head oil returns) 3. have more oil in the sump to pick up - larger capacity sump 4. have more oil near the pick up - baffles
