Yep, Kids are like cars' I keep going back for more punishment :/

Looking through some of mum's old photos and spotted a few Datto's. Mum had a beat up 120y but dad bought a brand new 180b (before I was thought of) waited months for it to arrive. It came in on a Friday dad picked it up and went for a run up the scenic hill (bells line rd) Rain and oil + new Datsun = :D

Hit the wall rear first then front, so after 15 minutes of ownership he got towed back to the dealer and told them to fix it. He then left town on the Monday for a 6 month call of duty in the navy. Still thinks it was an awesome car and the piece of gutter is still missing that he took out.

Ghostrider: As much as I'd like to drive it every day it will inevitably be a weekend warrior/cruiser and I've got plenty of paint/pearl left over if the worst happens.

blk180: The paint was a mates rates kind of thing, that's why I got it so cheap but yeah it was a local shop/painter. Painter was a bit worried about the prep but once he got started he was really happy with my prep/body work (the owner of the shop even told me I'd done a great job) just gotta be patient and do it right.

Socrates: I don't think I'll make the Skyline nationals at this stage, but I've booked in for Dat nats with a few boys for next year.

Cheers Dan

      Replica built of first Gibson R32 chassis

      By Victory · Posted

      Clinton and I spoke to Alan Heaphy at length last year at the Bathurst 1000 about the Gibson GTR's that he had at the track and the restoration work that his company was involved with. He has a number of people working for him who were part of Gibson Motorsport when these cars were being built and raced. What impressed me the most was the amount of first hand knowledge and information that he and his team have about the Gibson GTR's and their meticulous attention to detail in the restoration and maintenance of these cars.

      When you track RPM vs time it's clean, unlike the OEM one, even with filtering there are ripples. Means no random misfires or triggering issues at higher RPM, especially if you have big lift cams and a noisier valve train due to heavier springs.

      Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.

      On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
