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.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
