New World Datsuns...

Pictures don't seem to be working.

Since the sites been down, there have definitely been some improvements on the D21. If I wasn't sick with covid right now I'd be out working on it.

Suffice to say for those not on fb or ig, we have a winch bumper! And the M8274 will be residing on the front of Gracie II!

I second that motion.

After only 20 years of wishing, guess what I have!

Latest updates: Solid lifter conversion with Tri-flow II camshaft from Colt Cams is in. I need to advance the cam a bit as it's still a little too long legged. Header is now on, that helped a ton on top end. Going to readjust valves now that I have 100 mile in since putting them on. Also had a chain ...

When did we get overrun by spammers? WTF?

What is that? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?! Fucking spammers. Ban hammer that asshole.

Well there's been a ton of updates since the last posting. It's all on instagram/facebook though. Short of it is there's been a lot of learning. However, the shafts are separated and I think I have most everything figured now. The only downside is I have a 1 piece 2nd synchro that I don't have. But ...

What the actual fuck you dumb spambot? Is this AI spamming? Seems to be about the same level of intelligence. That is, not very. Or at least not a good grasp of the English language?

Any updates? I feel like we're a ghost forum anymore....:( I'm to blame too, barely update my stuff on here. Doing that social media thing. Good news is I'm smart enough to not give a shit and let it take over my life. ;) Oh, and did I tell you I got a Hobart Handler 210 MVP welder? It's sooooo ...

Here's the video. Found the smoking gun. Loose mainshaft nut.

Since I haven't been updating here much, here's a photo dump for you all! I highly recommend checking out my instagram account. Wow, I sound like a porn bot, lol. I decided I wasn't going to pay to have someone rebuild my trans. It's time I learned. So far it's not quite terrible, though the counter ...

Nice!!! Is that yours tater?

Clearly, you haven't seen me abuse shit.

Replace the radiator cap. Bet that'll fix it.

A lot of progress has been made on the KA24E. It's ALMOST together and ready for install. Still a few things left to do. I'm hoping I can actually get the engine removed this weekend, but it's still touch and go. Figured out .030" off the head results in .85 degrees retarded for the cam, so I put it ...

Welcome to the dark side! As mentioned everywhere else, I thought it stupid to ask the smallest motor to make the most hp to move the heaviest Datsun. (Aside from the hardbody) Anyway, this is now going to be a much longer project due to all the plans. I figured two-three years before I have the ...

Alright, new plan! The 2200 pound racecar is getting the RB20DET from the wagon. With about 300-325 hp, which should be plenty reliable and it'll be faster than the L28ET was.

Alright, big picture dump! There have been quite a few developments since my last posting. Namely, I realized too late when I went to get an intake manifold gasket, I built a California head! Much bench racing ensued as I tried to figure out if I had screwed myself or not. The good news is back in ...

Thanks man! Also, since I've been updating instagram and Facebook regularly, I know it's been lacking here. Gonna dump a bunch of photos from the phone and finish it up on the laptop since it's much easier to type quickly on the laptop.
