Yeah Cam, the anticipation is giving me constipation. I grin with glee each time I look at it. I'll actually video it on the first turn of the key, good or bad. Exhaust is 2x 2.25 into 1x 2.5 and out through the muffler. Really interested in what the sound will be like. Fnnn or awesome I hope.

Car is now finished and I bring it home tomorrow. It sounds and looks really sweet to say the least. My mechanic, Tim has done a splendid and top notch job. I have taken a small amount of video and i'll try to download to u tube tonight under the heading of Datsun Skyline V8.

I ended up using a Holley 650 DP which works real well. Gearing is a bit low, able to go round corners in 4th. No tacho at the mo but I reckon @ 100kph it's reving at about 3200. Down the line I may change centres 3.54 maybe. Haven't stuck my foot into it yet as I'm running it in and I'm of the old school way, slow and steady. Put a vk shroud on tonight and installing 2 10" thermos on saturday. sorry about the video, bit embarrased about that. There was too many people around and I don't enjoy doing running comentary. It gives you some idea and guess that's what counts. Here's a couple of pics.Glad some of you like it, I love it. Sitting in it with that V8 thump is awesome.post-44326-1273757197_thumb.jpgpost-44326-1273757344_thumb.jpg[attachm

At the end of the day D, it was about what was easiest and yes price also came into it.I knew of 2 cars that had had this conversion done. One was the car in Wagga that had ex chaser black motor. I was very nearly going to buy that one, anyway after hearing from the guy how easy it was I kept that in mind incase a transplant happened. The 45 would have been nice, but i couldn't be bothered with the hassle of injection and to carb it was going to be an even bigger prob with engineering/ emissions here in W.A. I love what I've done and the 308 sound is great, already seeing lots of stunned mullets looking at it going what the F%^$K. It's something diff and the 308 has potential with a few mods. After selling my motor, boxes and bits it cost me $3000 on top of that. I've yet to pay $500 for engineering and $70 for test station.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
