G60 & G61 in South Australia

Hi Patrollers, after 10 years of good intentions and false starts I've decided to offer my G60 and G61 to someone with the time and drive to give them the attention they deserve. In Adelaide, South Australia - will require 2x car transports and also many trailer loads of parts. A sad day for me but ...

Re: PatrolP1 Patrol Build Begins

That sucks :( can't say I'm surprised though - my one experience using a transporter resulted in them not even picking the vehicle up by the agreed date despite the paid deposit, the PO about to leave on holiday and me taking a late flight and driving 19 hours straight to bring the car home. On a mo...

Re: Engine Gasket Replacement

My 2c would be to suggest asking/bribing a friend with some experience to assist - not technically difficult but stopping leaks is a game of learning by your mistakes...ask me how I know :roll:

Cheers,

Re: onlineautoparts.com.au - Reputable Vendor?

I got rear rotors and pads for my Pulsar from them, fast delivery - I'm in Australia - and they called before sending them to check that my car was the early Australian built model and not the later Japanese built version. Pretty happy with the service and prices.

Cheers,

Re: Oil System Priming Shaft - Dimensions Needed

Not trying to talk you out of making a proper tool if that's a project you want, but I still have the 12" length of 3/16" rod with a bit of steel scrap wire-wrapped to one end I made 30 years ago for Datsun L series motor oil priming...would probably work on a P motor too... ...but if I we...

Re: Hello needing some help on a P40

I hope you're right about the adapter not being needed Esteban, I can't say whether or not that's true in this case - I did pop down and measure the stud pattern on my G61 manifold (originally a P40 motor with Hitachi 2BBL) and it's as close as I can measure without removing the carb to 1.75 x 3.125...

Re: Hello needing some help on a P40

A Weber 32/36DGV or DGAV would be about the right CFM rating and was a common swap for 4-cyl Datsuns running a Hitachi 2BBL from the factory using an adapter plate...companies like Redline in Australia used to make those but I don't know if they're still available. Holley 350 2BBL will flow more but...

Re: Custom electronic fuel injection and ignition

Sounds like the old tuners' adage is true for EFI as it is for carbs...

"if you think it's ignition it's probably fuel, if you think it's fuel it's probably ignition"

Nice work, looks like the MS forum is a good one - people with first-hand knowledge on the subject !

Re: Custom electronic fuel injection and ignition

Sorry for the delayed response, on holiday at the moment 8-) Sounds like your coils are making good spark, and your plug wires are sending it as they should - and your dwell setting sounds like it's in the zone. If your timing light is confirming the timing is correct at cylinder 1 then that all sou...

Re: Custom electronic fuel injection and ignition

Interesting... The fact that throttle-body injection and batch-fire injection systems work on OEM vehicles seems to me to suggest the timing of the injector pulse isn't a deal breaker - my understanding is emissions control is where sequential, time-indexed injection benefits lie. Are you confident ...
