I recall seeing that silver Mk1. I think you'll find the asking price was $30,000 however. I would have been interested at $20k! [;^)]

Thanks for that Scotty, I wasn't sure of the exact figure being so long ago. $30k sounds closer to the mark. I think for that sort of money, I would prefer a few more ponies.

by the way, I think MK1DET is a good plate idea.

Hey mate your car looks freakin amazing!!
very impressive!

A mate of mine dropped an sr20 in his datsun (can't remember what model but it was 1960 something) he's pushing out over 500bhp!!!
Doesn't look anywhere near as good as yours!!

Keep up the good work!!

Mark

have you been down the qtr mile yet?

How do you find the 3.45 gears? i have same running gear as you except for 3.89 gears and i think it is still too high. I started with 2.92 gears and was pulling 170 in 3rd - 2 more gears to go!

Very tidy car.

No quarter as yet. Having clutch slippage issues with the brass button plate. Noticed when dragging off GT3 Cup Porshe.[88] Think he was still very impressed anyway. Shes OK with the 3.45. Giving 188kph in 4th (1:1 ratio) on the dyno with clutch slip and only 11 psi boost. Should see over 230kph. Have had it above 220. Still have the rev limiter in aswell. I reckon a 3.54 would be better. 180sx's had a 4:1 diff for its weight so mines about right.
Good to hear of other conversions around. They make a fun reliable car.

Time to upgrade again.
Menu:
GARRETT Turbo - GT2871R, 52 Trim 71, Comp wheel, .64 Exhaust.
Braided oil lines
Splitfire ignition coils and high discharge pack
550 Nismo injectors
Z32 AFM
Standard ECU with Nistune modification allowing real time tuning.

Should add some more spice.

That sould make for a fun package Josh[:p]

Longboy, Great article in the March 2010 Classic Ford Mag. Photos and article are great. Actually a very interesting magazine in total with all the different classic ford engine transplants.

Keep up the great work!
