hello long time no see,ive been out of a cool daily nostalgic japanese car for a while so ive picked this up it has seen its better days but that will change within the next few weeks.it needs a distributor and timing done as well as figuring out the wiring and do full tune up etc so...

it was located in provo so we headed out we stopped for japanese

it needed a battery to start i wanted to hear it even though it was off timing so i bought a battery then

2 days later i called a towing place then got the car from provo to slc i know should of got pics of the car on the flat bed lol

the list:
wheels 15x8
my nrg set up quick release and hub lock,steering wheel want to pick up a different wheel
full weber carb kit-delete all that unnecessary vacuum/emissions crap-
Straight pipe boso exhaust
Bride seat
Blaw blaw...

Nice project to work on. The 3tc's are great motors. What happened to the datsun?

Your engine bay... makes that carb look SO CLEAN! Its kinda like mine, the clean / painted parts are the ones that have been gone through, and the gunky stuff parts are the to-do list

How do you like the Weber? I have a 80 Wagon and the carb is trashed and was looking at going this route...

JDMForm · **Posted:** Wed Jan 23, 2013 8:34 am

it is awesome besides it's hella rich but still runs way better more responsive,took the car for a test drive and it drove like a raped ape lol this little gutless car can move haha. need to tune it as soon as my wideband comes in so i can figure out a tune/jetting setup to handle utah properly,looks cleaner and its easier to work on with all that unnecessary crap out of the way

this pic is when we just installed it so dont mind the 2 fuel filters lmao ill post a new pic soon this is what i have on my phone

both main and secondary jets are 135's
Primary Air Corrector is 170
Secondary Air Corrector is 160 thats how it came stock on the 32/36 carb
check out this tread might give you an idea..

Thanks for the info, and yeah I'll check out that link.. Do you have any plans to remove the emissions crap? I have completely removed all of mine, it really cleans up the engine bay. Still unsure of what to do with all the hardlines going to the removed charcoal cannister..

no prob and yes it really does,yeah i will remove completely everything of all the emissions crap lol just been busy but it will be done.(just a thought)..thought about hooking up a either a breather filter to the line or a catch can with a breather,either way the tank needs to breathe right lol :lol:

here is the update

lowered pretty much,cut springs in the front's which i don't care about criticism 3 inch lowering blocks on the rear with deleted bump stops which were easy to unbolt aswell as the ubolts surprisingly..

one of the steelies blew meaning the tire
had to use a block to get the jack under it barely fit's lol

the non blown tire

found a hive in the cressida hubcap

gotta rock these for 2 weeks until i get tires

yeah i know but deleted the plastic shortly after,looks dumb but car will look better with the wheels im about to throw on in 2 weeks.I will post updates of the new wheels later, until then guess what they are not SSR's getting those cleaned up later in couple months...
