tlorber Posted January 17, 2013 Share #14 Posted January 17, 2013 Good luck on the project. Be sure Not to throw out the roadster tranny. You can get like $6-700 for it if it is functional.

ksbeta Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share #15 Posted January 17, 2013 The suspension tree might be the reason my neighbors quit speaking to me. I'm hoping they keep up their sense of humor.The Roadster Transmission is going to go into my '70, provided I can get the shifter rebuilt properly. Dann at Ralley has been helpful with parts there.

Hardway Posted January 17, 2013 Share #16 Posted January 17, 2013 "Buy another one" I love your logic! Great find on the car, as others have said, $1,500 was a deal. Excellent work and pics on bringing her back up to speed. Will be watching this thread for sure!

ksbeta Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share #17 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) New tires arrived; being mounted today. 225/50/15 Toyo R888's. Funny how some tires help you feel like the project is coming together. I might not have anything in the car by way of a drive-train at the moment, but darned if I don't have some new rubber. Eiji should be done with the new motor this weekend, and hopefully by Sunday I'll have the new Datsun Spirit motor back home.

Reverend Posted January 31, 2013 Share #20 Posted January 31, 2013 For those that do not know, roadster 5 speeds came as standard option in european Z's right from the beginning.

ksbeta Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share #24 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Eiji was kind enough to provide some photos from throughout the build. I thought I'd share a few of them before discussing the final product. Here's the donor L28. We struck out on a multitude of blocks and heads, and ultimately used this N47 head to move things along. The block proved to have some issues in a cylinder, and we used another L28 (F54) from his stock. Block all cleaned up: Clean L28 Crankshaft; Flat-Top pistons: Buttoning the bottom end up: Lots of neat in-process photos. Here's some photos of the N47 head, complete with the DSI STR2.8B Camshaft: Edited February 5, 2013 by ksbeta Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/45437-hls30-24140/?page=2#findComment-414045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
