Drums are fine. If you need to alleviate your old mans fears, take the car to a brake shop, have the drums reshod and perhaps new wheel cylinders, and have them adjust them up correctly.

Mate if you have a nice cam, it'll get lumpier, as for sounding any better with a stock cam, I doubt it. As far as going faster/more power, again - no. For the effort of pulling it out and putting it in, just for a lightening job......

Kick in the pants? Wont make the car go faster.....

Dunno about lightening, but to skim her flat for a new clutch, It cost me about 60 bucks from Edwardstown Clutch and Brake Service (ECBS). I pulled it out myself though (box out the bottom).

Magic. I'll buy it when you get bored with it hahaha.

Exactly my thoughts. Get an early model hilux, mid 80's. Would be squarer and narrower too. Get a portable angle grinder and swing on down to a commercial vehicle wrecker and you're set....

What like their other attempt at 2 door sports car the SC430 or whatever it is? New supra has been talked about for nigh on 10 years too.

Yeh. Correct, we don't condone it, I heard about it from a friend of mine.....

For a nissan - Cool.

Dodgy temp sender perhaps? pull it out and swap it with a wrecker back pocket special.

I vote NO. Take a look the 36 window is a fair bit more square.

Whats a Nieve? haha.

At uni we had a water brake dyno, but I never really had the chance to look properly at the workings of it. That was a good little test bed, i'd love to take a squiz at it again some day. Used it to do efficiency practicals, good times...

Go to an automotive joint and ask for some gasket paper. it'll be a sheet of black stuff, like tough cardboard. Smear a thin layer of oil on the base mating face of the carb and place it on the paper, and you'll have the outline of the carby face to use as a stencil. Cut it with a stanley. No love on the vacuum gear though, mines too old for emissions gear!

I think its pretty funny this thread gets revived then you pop up! Funny as...

yeh no shit, brain fade, thats the oil pump drive. :D 12 hour days. Wrong tooth on the dizzy. Last dizzy brainfade I had, I plugged all the leads on my 911 in reverse order (these german engineers are so good, they don't bother labelling the dizzy caps) so instead of firing 123456 I had 165432 and the thing ran but wouldnt rev..... pretty funny.

I just assumed it was the moderator of the same name who sugegsted we censor with the word smeg. As for the carby issue, could be your accelerator pump - check valve or diaphragm perhaps, so it's leaning out when you gas it because there isnt enough fuel getting sprayed in.

Or understeered his car into an armco as he negotiates a run of the mill, trip to work corner.

Hmm, so you bought the 4k and the cam from Kangaroosa. I bought the 5K Hydraulic cam setup from him that he talks about in that thread, yet to find out how that goes!

Cool little tech writeup. You can also buy standard off the shelf discs that would probably suit, especially if you couldn't be bothered making one! What speedo did you use this with?

No teeth on a K series dizzy, its got a tongue and groove drive. Only 2 ways it'll go in.

Are they Keihin slides?

Sounds like nonsense but bigger venturis will give less performance. Venturis are designed to accelerate the airflow through the carb. The acceleration creates a pressure drop that pulls the fuel from the bowl. Larger venturis = less pressure drop = less fuel pulled out of the bowl. You may be able to improve on it, but it may just as easily got pear shaped without a bit more diggin.

Thats an oxymoron! Anyway, you might have got your dizzy in 180 degrees out of whack which would cause all sorts of issues.
