Ehhhh just another truck

Loving this so far, datsun's are too cool

Thanks man!

At Welcome to Atlanta (IA pre meet) my buddy and his Fiance from ATL Vinyl (fresh setup) hooked me up with something cool...

It's not finished yet, but here's what we're working with.

Think I'm getting new rims.... going to look at these tomorrow.

Whatcha think? Add says they're Enkie Center lines.... not sure.






I've been away for a while, haven't really done much with the truck. I've decided that I'm extremely tired of the truck's different colors, so I'll be rattlecanning it matte white for a little while, until i have another car to drive and can gut this thing. It needs to be ripped into pieces and there's a lot of metal to replace.

I'm going for this kind of look. It's a buddies 240 that's rattle canned. Photo's don't do it justice!

More into the motor build....

:The cam is older then my truck, with a 1974 grind date, and a .475 lift that should really wake this motor up combined with the big ports and big valves...





:L28 valves with dual Nismo valve springs and retainers







In the words of the previous owner...

"The entire interior surface of the crankcase was ground down to smooth it out and release the sand from the casting as well as remove casting flash.
it was strange when I started grinding the block how much sand was hitting me in the face!!!

Some people would think this will never be a problem, "its been there 20+ years and I've never had a problem!"
HA! I broke this little "tree" off with my fingernail. This kind of thing can destroy any engine, and if you plan on hitting 7000+ RPMS, everything inside the engine vibrates like crazy.










The future plan is to possibly either run twin throttle bodies with megasquirt or small turbo with a open chamber head.

I'd love to run a small T4 (or even smaller honestly) turbo with megasquirt. Cut down an L28ET intake to remove the two center cylinders, and just run megasquirt. I wouldn't even mind running a small turbo into twin throttle bodies. Imagine the sound it'd make!

Looking good, what kinda figures do you think it will have when it's done? 90? Even 100 hp?!?!
Really though, I wish I could've done this to my truck.

It should have at LEAST 130hp on the little carb I have now. With proper side drafts I could see maybe 175HP. Turbo EFI would put me over 300HP reliably.


Why can't you man? It's easy :P

I vote gt25r and megasquirt.

The gt25r from the stock MSP spools up stupid fast.

That's a pretty big improvement, sadly I sold my truck awhile back and have been dumping money into my stupid bimmer

That's possible. I still have a lot of research to do! I'm not in any rush. I'll have to convert all 4 wheels to disk, and find a stronger LSD before I do any of that, or I'll be breaking stuff.

Yeah man! It should be nice on top of my 4.375 rear diff.

I like bimmers as long as you're doing something cool, I approve.

Fuck me. I can't wait to hear that idle.

I have those wheels! I don't think they're enkeis though. If they are, sweet, I have enkeis. I think they're american racing wheels though. Still legit in the truck world.
