New World Datsuns...

Sun brand tach pics, kinda awsome. And deffenatly old school lol

I like the old school sweeping tachs; they go great with sweeping speedometers. Very cool.

Thanks man, I do too.
of course, cant help but want one of those older old school a series mechanical tachs

that thin/missing paint is just from the wind friction of hauling ass. no worries.

I've got one of those tach's too. Pretty rad

So a fellow nwd member stopped by today, to discuss some su options, he ended up just GIVING me a su manifold... he just gave it to me. How freaking awsome is that!
Course the standardized no later sale agreements where made.
But still, dont know if I should mention him by name, dont want peiple buggin him all the time for stuff lol.




Fuck yeah.

Holy carp! I need to see this thing with su's! Do L series su's mount up and that mani with stock linkage? I haven't looked into A series much yet but I'm gonna start now lol :mrgreen:

The linkage is a bit different. But can be narrowed it looks like.

Would 38's be too big for an A12? What size would have came on that mani?

I needs some A series stuffs if he comes out of the wood works! Promise no selling it.. Like I did on the b, and look at that... 15 months later she's still around

The l16 sus are basicly EXACTLY the same. Jets are alittle different, cunter linkage is a little different. But other than that ther 38mm sus and you would never tell the difference.

Yeah, glad its got you around so well to. I did jimmy a couple of things but it seams like you got all that worked out.
That b is bad ass, of all the ones ive had, thats the one I miss sometimes lol.

This thing is coming along nicely.

I need a freakin drimmel...
This thing wasnt casted with great care, inside look great, but there where places that the seam was 1/2 tall. Huge jiant chunks in every corner.
Along ways to go...

while you are in there, get me the part number for dem lugs

Datmo.just ordered the right ones. Ill see if I can find em.

I'll tade you some well-traveled chrome wheels for that manifold.

Hahaha, no thanks, maybe after im done polishing it? Bwahahaha

So I went up to beaver town last night to bs with adam and jess, between little projects adam insisted that we bring the 12 in and take care of the muffler rattle. The insides had come loose from the outsides, even tho the muffler and most of the stuff ahead of it look realy new.
Smashed the muff muff down with a hammer to squeeze the guts in there, also notice the trans and rear diff leak like a mother fucker. We topped off the rear end, and I drive home rattle frree! Lol.

Thanks adam for the gear oil, and the shop time!
