bracketry was designed, and part built for the centre bearing mount for the front tailshaft, and a brake issue was resolved, but no pix yet, as it not put together.. Sunday is looking good fer more work and/or piccies. chrustover

Chris, I htink you need to edit that post mate.... the purple on the dark grey... *squint*

can't wait 'til sunday

Post by **christover1** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 7:30 pm

more pix, Joey has been shafted, and more

I was wrong about the front shaft length, it is the exact same shaft as the rear, therefore less spares needed etc. The shafts are custom, but use mostly hi lux bits. front shaft is missing because the diff yoke was dodgy and another is on order.
the custom rad filler, running off one of the feed pipes, is a better option than his original header tank option.

Is he actually going to wheel this thing?

Looks like there has been a lot of attention to detail, will he be too afraid to scratch it?

Coming along well, can't wait to see it in the flesh.

Boy I hope so, suspense is killing me :multi:

He led some great trips, before the rebuild, I believe he will run some more when done. He is planning a trip called "the 4 o'clock track" should be fun, as those who went on his trips will agree :onfire:

More new pix, very exciting, as it is now being re-assembled for the final time. The engine bay is nearly complete, apart from mounting of power steer fluid reservoir, water bottle, air box and rad overflow bottle. These should be done by Monday. As pix show, the front clip and all body work is basically complete (no doubt there will be fiddley bits to be done, and more mods later) All the lights wiring is complete, but needs a new brakelight switch (probly busted during the modded brake pedal fitment)

Post by **bigsteve** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 7:47 am

yep, similar to his old one in this pic

Post by **Beastmavster** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 10:36 pm

Needs to look really neat or the engineers would never pass it....

The bodginess and denting begins later

Having seen the old one driven this one will cop similar levels of abuse.

I have a nice shot of the old one here....

Power steering finished off with reservoir mounting.
Air box plumbed wired and mounted.
Optima?? battery mounted behind passenger seat.
Oil cooler for auto fitted and plumbed.

gerg is correct, the manual is much shorter, guy is also correct, it was a hybrid of silvia front and skyline rear I think?
I like sleepers too. christover[/quote]

how had he worked out the clutch as the skyline box is hydraulic and the Suzuki is cable, did he get the box from glen at datsall in lilydale

he did get it from a datsun/nissan bloke in Lilydale, so I think that would be him?
In the swb he fitted a hydraulic master under the dash and used the Nissan hydraulic clutch stuff.
In this LWB project, he is using entire auto from the silvia/200sx. christover

thanks fella

i'm going looking at putting an L series datsun motor with a skyline g/box behind it.
