I must love it too, it is a rusty pig, I always used to say 'if a car has rust in the roof it is not worth repairing'.

 

Now look at me!

 

will find some more pics...

when i bought it many moons ago.

 

Edited December 2, 200916 yr by oh what a nissan feeling!

hey was it hard to get the sr20 in? I'm not to sure if i should go that route just yet with a ke36, but i don't know if it will fit or not ? or the difficulty it was..

p platers are allowed no mod plates this includes engine conversions, so unless you own a silvia..........

 

Conversion is quite straight forward, would require a welder and a fair bit of mechanical knowledge though.

Its awesome to see your fixing that old wagon, such a rare car on the road, I've never seen one drive by.

 

What kind of stall rpm will the auto be setup at on the SR?

MS53 by the looks of it. there's a few around sydney with a myriad of engines...7M-GTE, 2JZ-GE :D

 

rides thread for the wagon??!

Thanks for the support guys, it makes it feel like i made the right choice not to scrap it.

 

MS57 to be precise, same car, different front panels. It has a 7mg, no 't' .

 

Was thinking about a rides thread, I'm so random though, it might drop out of sight again for a few more years, who knows?!

 

Stall will be around the 4g to 4.5 mark Brad, just bought a .82 split rear housing for the turbo, so will need the extra spool time.

 

If youre ever on the sunny coast, give us a call to catch up!

Friend of yours!?

:)

whooohooo, i have a friend............unless he doesnt like the dirty 'N' word in my name :hmm:

well. sort of an update..

 

Damn pos pajero chucked the bottom end in yesterday, you could hear it from 5 blocks away, hmmm.

 

So i own 5 cars, pajero, ke25, ke30, crown, vt commodore, and the only one that goes is the f'ing vt commodore -selling.

 

So ive borrowed mums car.......at the age of 26.

 

shiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

 

Any ways, bought a larger rear housing for my gt30, as the .63 is no longer suited to my requirements.

 

Also looks like the commo is sold, will know tonight, so that will buy my stall converter, and ignition system if all goes well.

 

Might make some bodywork progress over the break, might not, depends if the cricket is on.

update number 2.

 

My sr20 head has a mild port job, solid lifters, adj. cam gears, good springs, 10mm lift cams.

 

Have pulled it down now to fit 1mm oversized valves, 12.5 lift solid cams, and possibly upgrade the porting too.

 

 

 

Engine bay is getting there after some serious panel work, and smoothing work, still some detail to go though.

 

 

 

 

Crown has taken over the time and shed for now though.

 

 

 

update......ish.

 

 

tomie cams arrived today, solid 272, 12.5 lift.

 

head is at the shop getting oversized valves fitted, looking at cnc porting atm, will see what i happens.

 

australia all out for 127, hmmm, could be a good game......i hope!!??

just bought hurst shifter for this, and naprec valve springs.

 

undercoated roll cage and touched up the floor.

 

 

 

also painted inside the boot today, it turns out the crown and rolla have the same colour interior, so i could paint the crown dash and rolla at the same time.

 

 

 

is that your car i spotted in the latest zoom????

yeh man, i didnt know because they never got back to me. My bro just rang me and said i scored a third of a page in the "In the build" section.

 

I'm pretty stoked with that!

 

Will have to go and find it now, my bros car was in last months zoom, he got a full page, but deserved it i recon.
