Nice! I like it all! Did you correct the odometer reading before installing the new gauge cluster? Where did you find so good dust shields/base plates for the rear drums? I can't seem to get hold of a set from anywhere! New drums are available at eBay but no dust shields... It should be possible to...

Suitable and brilliant wheels! Hours of work pays off

Well, got car inspection through for this B11 van tech couple of days ago, so it's now street legal here (not necessarily easy task here in Finland with this combo). Some minor mods... Lighter pulley wheel from a carbureted model: wheels008.jpg N13 cooler liquid tank + a custom support (didn't find ...

Looks great mate! I thought you can set your mixture with the valve on the MAF/AFM. There is a screw on that one and turning to the right makes the car righer. Without a CO-meter you have to screw till the engine rised his highiest RPM-note. Thats the correct air/fuel mixture. Then you have to put ...

Found out a new intake leak in brake booster check valve. Fixing this helped to make idle more stable. New pipe now welded (diameter 60mm - 63.5 mm): Copyofhelkaolga005.jpg helkaolga008.jpg Two little Simons dampers and a cat. A bit more low-pitched sound when listened behind the car. Size differren...

Got the car now running and going. :D Had some injector problems first and leakage in the intake manifold (overpressure relief valve) which caused hesitations and poor idle. Here is transfer pump assembly next to fuel tank: vani074.jpg This Facet pump (solid state competition) is really noisy. Tried...

Got the injectors working by pouring injector cleaner liquid into the injector hose, knocking the sides of the injectors metallic parts with a light small metallic hammer gently and periodically giving long series of current pulses through dropping resistor, then some knocking again and so on. After...

Do you know some means to get a completely stucked e15et injector working? Had difficulties with startup and found out that 2 of my injectors are not giving fuel at all. I've checked out that the problem is not in the motor wiring connectors (changed the wiring connectors between working vs. not wor...

Had to mod the cooler blower:
And some engine bay pics:

You've got thoroughness in your project! 10+ points.

Thx, going on with the project..
Had to make a new oil pipe for the little t2. This exhaust manifold needs some coating later, too rusty now. Clutch plate is Exedys ca16de clutch plate.

Here is cleansed diesel-cherry front brakes, new vented discs and hubs with new bearings. Had to weld another of the baffle plates. vani004.jpg Some coloring for pipings and air cleaner box (resembles "nissan air-cleaner blue"): vani009.jpg Head cover is also painted with the same colour. ...

Perfect rims!!

Where did you get all those tidy smaller parts, hose tighteners and so?? New ones from a Nissan importer? I'tried cleaning up old rusted smaller parts with Annitrol (phosphorous acid rust remover) baths. Cleaned parts doesn't have that goldish surface anymore..

Yes, had to disassemble some parts, do some cleaning and remove rust first, and weld a place on the side of the right strut tower. Then primer, colour and clearcoat layers.
