SR20DET project from the US!!

[rsxse240]

675datsun, that is exactly what I was thinking about the vynil. I am going to have a friend cut several sets (incase I screw up, I'll have a few spares) from thick decal vynil, and it will be placed on a transparent film, so I can assure proper placement. thanks for that suggestion though!

blueboost, that is one reason I am doing this project...to help the rest of the nissan enthusiasts in our hobby have an engine in the cars we are so proud of.

after careful consideration, and thought, I have come to realize just how expensive this is going to be what with the price of casting materials, and fabricating needed. Nonetheless, I am going to push on, and get a quality part(s) to you guys, at an affordable price...which I have yet to come up with, it will be tollerable, I promise!! so keep your eyes on this one, I'm workin' hard on it!!!!

made a little "HEAD"way on this hahaha. I rebuilt the valve cover for the 3rd and (hopefully) final time last night, and am quite pleased with the results.

I started the head yesterday, and so far have finished the front of the head/timing cover. anyway, here are some pics, I'll shut up now.

damn that looks awesome, if you cast one fo these, I will be buying it.

[675datsun]

Wow I am impressed, and happy! You must have put tons of R&D in to this. That head/timing looks quite familar so you are doing a splendid job

[rsxse240]

thanks for the kind words! I have a good friend that happens to be here on A/F that sent me some super pics, and several friends from www.nismokc.com are being quite helpful by letting me see their stuff.

I plan on making a Greddy "football" intake and top mount turbo manifold, haven't decided if it will be tubular, or log style. probably tubular and make it look like the FULL RACE offering.

Dude that's bitchin'! Thanks so much for stepping up to the plate and taking on this project.

You'll hate me for this, but can you make an S14 valve cover too:

One of these days I'll build my 1:1, one of these days

[datsunfreak]

Thought that was an S15?

Either way, if you're a decent fabricator you could easily modify his to make it look like that? Just build up the top of the VC with some strip styrene, then shave the rear of it down a bit. You'd lose the script, but I think it's in the wrong place for an S15 VC anyway...

I'd say tubular since it will be fairly easy for most to make a log manifold if need be...

Thats very impressive! An aftermarket SR would definitely have a sales base, I would reckon...

Its looking best in the later pics, in the earlier pics it looks much more like a Mazda BP (as seen in the MX5/miata/eunos roadster) than an SR.

[rsxse240]

7th_skyline, I was kind of thinking the same thing, that's why I ended up making 3 different ones, and finally settling on the third...which it turns out, was the charm!! no progress today, sorry to say, I am quite buisy trying to sell this house, getting a bunch of remodeling and stuff done so I can get the most of my investiment.

on another more related topic, the house we plan to buy happens to have an airconditioned/heated shop with an office which will be perfect for modeling and 1:1 car building!! boy am I exited for this move. finally my own BUILDING to do my hobbies!!

well I ain't getting anything done by typing, thanks for the replies, I'll get more up when it happens.
