Hi all. After a long time in hybernation my datto is back on the road. what started as a 'blowover' (yeah right) when i lost my lisense turned into a full resto. Me and my brothers did all the prep work and painted the door jambs, inner doors etc, then off it went to magic touch for the outside coat. (car doesnt fit in our furniture spray booth). The car was painted in a 2k clear over base version of the standard color.

The engine is an L28 F54/P90 combo. the heads been shaved off its head :) to bring the comp up to 10.2:1. it uses a 74 degree wade cam (2nd biggest 1 they make). the bottom end just has 1mm oversize pistons. the super duper crap restrictive inlet man. has a 65mm t/b. All is controlled by an autronic smc. The car was dynod and made 142kw@wheels.

all in all im just rapt to have it driving again..

enjoy the pics

in the beggining....

Great to see that someone is willing to keep the old 240K up and running in top shape.

It makes me miss my old '77 4 door even more. Triple 45 DCOE Webers, big cam, tuned headers, ..... and 196 rwhp (when I could keep it all together).

Keep up the great work and enjoy the old girl.

Very nice car mate! looks like you've really done things properly, do you have any pics of inside the car?

thanks, ye i do but the interior is sill standard, but thats next considering im in the upholstery business! :P

looks like youve got urself a neet coupe there. looks awsome in silver. is it turbocharged? What engine are you running?

Thanks Terry.

-hgc110-, my C110 has just got the standard L24 and 5 speed at the moment but I might upgrade it in the future. I haven't had the car that long so i'm still deciding what I'll do with it.

Are you running extractors or a Cast twin exit manifold?

Thanks Terry.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
