New drive shaft all ready to go in. Can handle significantly more torque and hp than this engine will ever throw at it, just like the gearbox... The large U-Joint is the gearbox end, the slip joint is the diff end. The Diff end U-Joint is also a special that suits the Datsun M10 bolt flange, though ...

Wow, good stuff.
I have bought a few things from them also, very good to deal with.
SO you will use the current 5th gear?
Is that an overdrive?

Today done a final check on driving position with everything in place such as steering wheel, shift cut gear knob, digital dash, shift lights, keypad, pedal box & cover etc... and helmet on. Decided to move drivers seat inboard about 25~50mm (1~2"), basically as far as we can move it. The s...

Wheel alignment done to check all the work done, and it came up perfect!

Dry sump tank moved so exhaust muffler could fit somewhere. Gearbox mounts done besides some paint. Pedal box just needs plumbing and a cover made. Old dry sump tank hole patched. Crotch seat belt anchorage added both sides. Front sway bar installed besides drop links. The torsion bar passes through...

Wow, thanks for sharing.
It's great to see the detail in the photo's and the work that's go in to get it where it is now.
Amazing talent!

more pics from above post.

More exhaust photo's, along with new six point harness crouch mounts, and front sway bar cross tube. The cross tube was going to be cut away so only the chassis sections remain, however I thought it would be good to keep the whole tube, as it helps hold the front together. https://i.imgur.com/rLaTQj...

Z store is good, back in the day that was the go to shop before the internet changed our lives

they have regular sales, and a good selection.

Awesome car. Sounds like a lot of the basic stuff done which is nice. I have some unused sway bar link bushes if you need them, I see they have been replaced on yours. Also have the rear control arm bushes, 2 sets, again guessing you don't need them. And a set of new OEM rear subframe bushes. They w...

Yeh, agree. Will aim for something that looks silver/chrome...

was it the red one recently for sale, that had a big wing on the back?
