Hey Guys after reading the threads on your awesome cars thought i'd better throw one up on my OLD (school) lol beast.
1st up heres an overview of the car as it is now:
1985 S3 910 Bluebird Ultra Wagon
Motor: VQ30det ex Y34 gloria
Transmission: ....Jatco RE4R01A .... 4 speed auto with lock up converter from the gloria
tail shaft: a modified EF falcon
rear end: factory H190 disc brake rear end
radiator: VL commodore 3 core
front brakes: R31
ECU: factory one out of the Gloria
Wheels: Watanabe's F8 front; 16 x7 Rear; 16 x 8
Hprw: 190 (not totaly acurate as had a few problems with it on the dyno she loves to spin her wheels lol read on for more about it)
Other mods: Boost Contoller running 14psi
custom front sway-bay, 2.5" exhaust,
custom made front coil springs, enclosed podfilter,
central locking, power windows
Plans for the car over the next year: A brake upgrade on the front to Hr31 (she needs it),
An intercooler not sure on what type im going for yet (space is a big issue for me),
A transmission cooler,
looking at a bigger turbo but again space being an issue,
Finishing the paint job (back around the bottom half not sure up to where 2 spots in mind),
A new custom radiator
& a few other twecks to her as time & money permits lol
This car is my Daily driver & its motor and running gear are compleatly factory stock (for now!) I love driving her, it gets a few looks & a few suprised by it ha ha.
insead of boring you all with a long build thread on the car i'll just throw up a few pics of its life history so far up to now
1st up her VQ30det transplant:
What the engine bay looks like now:
The decission weather to keep the TRX wheels or go Watanabes: ( you can guess what won)
It gets a makeover, its new sexy paint job:
Before :neutral:
After:
Now to add a little boost: :mrgreen:
& most recent her 1st Dyno Day:
Had alittle trouble with her on this day 1st up they wanted us on 1st so she didnt get too much time to cool down, 2nd he said he didnt want to do an auto WTF ? , 3rd she just wanted to spin her wheels on the dyno (rear end to light) so i got 3 of the SDC (sydney datsun club) guys to jump in the back of it, but it only made a small difference we still gave her a go, was aliitle dissapointed but considering all the problems & that is still stock & an auto i had to be happy with its 190hprw i feel maybe it should hav been closer to 200hprw i'll take her along to another one (need hevier guys lol) anyway it was good except for being totaly smashed by my partners Bluebird that did 420hprw (its just aliitle bit worked lol thou) .
& heres a video of the Birds on the Dyno: (you can hear the wheels spin on mine ) Enjoy
I'll place the video in after 7days
Well thats about it for now, sorry about all the pics its how i keep a record of my car i'll throw up some more pics on how she looks latter (love taking photos of it)
Thanks for reading about my DATSIN
