you forgot me, im same as requiemk

keen for price

def be keen for a set of flares and pending price maybe the whole kit, im in NZ but can sus getting them sent to my uncle in melb to save you guys overseas shipping issues.

RB25DE as i want something twin cam, a six and N/A. Im going to be leaving it in the stock position now just getting it low in the engine bay. This car is just to have some fun in, its not even been built to any class regs just for club events and hill climbs and mainly to have fun in. If i was to be building something competitive i wouldnt even be starting with a C110 anyways, i would be looking at a C10 sedan or a Z car. Might post some pics if you guys are interested in a "boat anchor" going into a C110

tiz a coupe, steering mods are easy and puts driver and passenger weight further back. pedal box is again easy coz you can just buy them and it means i get 1 less thing out of the engine bay and gives more room for ITBs. sr20 is a no go, main ingredients to this car is straight six, N/A and DOHC which rules out sr20 all together in my books. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19837&highlight=suspension mainly from that post people are saying handling isnt the best.

does any one know or have a close idea as to what the corner weights or even the front to back split % of a 240k is? reason i ask is im building a 240k track car with a rb25de in it, the 25de much to my surprise actually lines up sweet with the factory 240k mounts and such introduces a little dilemma for me, being a race car ideally a 50/50 split would be nice for handling but now its so easy to bolt it im im pondering if i need to goto all the effort of moving the engine back approx 30cm or so as its going to be a bit of a job (sump, mounts, tunnel, firewall, moving in car bracing so i can get the gear stick some where and so on). looking at where the engine sits in relation to the front strut towers is showing i probably need to move it back but im still unsure as i will be sitting much further back in the cabin and the fuel cell will be further back as with the battery so im thinking its possible it may ballance but im still unsure. ive read a few members here say that 240k's handle like pigs and im wondering if its because of their weight split or just generally bad suspension setup or maybe both but knowing the weight split would help in my decision as then i could put it down to ok the suspension needs work (it always does anyways) and the weight will be fine or i need to fix this main problem of the weight split and then it will make getting a good suspension setup easier as i wont have the problem of a bad weight split to combat as well as making the suspension better. If you follow me. cheers Mark

ok sweet think ill hold out till some one buys one from tru-fit and confirms they fit, bit un keen to buy one and if it doesnt fit having to send it back to aussie.

any progress on carpets? i need a set for mine also.

this is some sweet info, i think i might have to do this to mine as the head unit likes to die when im driving at night and stop at intersections so the alt isnt spinning much. just out of curiosity how many amps is the standard alt?

cheers for that, thats awesome, everything i needed.

ok i was unsure if the float did alot in these as i saw in the SUs they do. a place to start cheers, also i forgot to mention the previous owner before me rebuilt the carb hence why i needed some pointers to look over to see what he might have done wrong, i have 2 other carbs so i checked their jet sizes vs what was in mine and all were the same so im guessing its must something adjustable some where he hasnt set right. i was thinking the float level might be a good place to start but couldnt find any articles on setting the levels for these carbs just the SU's

Hi ive got a datsun 240k with a single down draft carb on it which is running rich. the blugs in it are as black as and i have alot of soot in my exhaust. also when you rev it up in neutral and the take your foot of and then rev it again it dumps out a big black smoke cloud. also when your driving it and you roll up to an intersection and stop and then put your foot down to take off (its an auto) if you put your foot down probably more then 1/4 to 1/2 throttle she dies like she floods her self. ive been all over the ignition, timing and everything its all good. tho i have no idea where to start with carbs. if any one can give me any pointers to go of from what i have explained it would be appreciated. cheers mark
