So another update on the project.
 
Havent had time to get into the shed over xmas (stoopid poo poo work) to do anythign with the axles, so have been doing homework instead.
 
Have been getting the guys at PCM hacking onboard (see link below) to start on the BCM setup.
 
I had scabbed a VX BCM and harness, but as it turns out its not the ideal solution.
 
I have picked up a LD astra unit instead, but am in the need for some pulsar stuff.
 
If anyone is wrecking an N13 Pulsar (07/1987-1991 )with the GM Family II 1.8l multipoint engine, Im on the need for some stuff. Ones with an E15/16, CA16, or FJ20 are no good - they dont have the right stuff.
 
The advice I have got is to grab the entire wiring harness with everythign that it connects to like sensors. If I can grab a second BCM as well thats a winner.
 
Other, but less desriable donors include
1984-87 JD Cameria
07/87 - 07/89 LD Astra
90-98 Daewoo Espero (maybe)
 
If I can get my hands on a whole car that would be the way forward. I could then steal the parts, and palm the rest off.
else, I need to rely on wreckers to pull the parts for me.
 
If anyone here can hook me up with the N13 parts that would be grouse. 
Scumtree seems to be pretty dry at the moment for N13s

I have crank scraper and windage trays for my girl
Can show you if you like
 
Same as these... since this is where I bought them from
https://www.crank-scrapers.com/Datsun-Nissan_A_ENGINE.html

Im also looking for a complete N13 Pulsar that i can pull apart for the Wizbang stuff.
 
If anyone has a lead that would be good - must be the 1.8l EFI version

thanks neil,
 
Looking at the the scrapers and their design, it doesent look too hard to make up.
 
I reckon you woul just put some cardboard agaainst the crank and spin it round  - trim, trim, trim till it clears everything.
template done.
Send template to laser cutter for clean cuts
trial fit - grind to suit
bolt into place using the existing sump bolts.
 
That really makes it simple, and there is a few hours there to get that right.
 
Do you think steel, aliminium, or plastic?
 
Im also thinking that some slosh gates in the sump might be a good wank factor idea as well, since the sump is at the front

Scrapers, windage trays and trapdoor sump baffles are all good things, 
 
Polishing the crank is good, Knife edge is good too if your looking for every bit of HP you can find, 
de dagging inside the block and painting/ceramic coating is another option, 
 
time and $$$ is the factor, 
if your not running big cams and crazy revs, I wouldn't bother with knife crank and super light flywheel, 
having some mass makes it a bit more streetable 
 

I knife edged a Toyota crankshaft then had it rebalanced
the tool used was an angle grinder with lots of discs and
tape on the mains and rod bearing surfaces.
Took a while but revs improved alot and only cost me
some 20 cheap chinese made grinder discs.
Probably breathed in more crap than I should have do wear
a mask if you do it.

Reubs is that the old iron pushrod GM motor? if only there was an alloy pushrod head for it then it would be an interesting upgrade to the A series providing it can rev and wont be too heavy. Either way carb it and use it as a pump someday or generator.
 
Just wonderinf the twin cam kit, if you are willing to make cnc copies of it as I can sell them here in Japan
as Rob is no longer interested in making more of them last I heard. Anyone in Perth would be good but
would help me with an extra source of income than just farming atm.

and on the twin cam cover plates - yep leave it to me Ill get back to you when I get a couple CNCed up. I wanted to make a spare for me anyways.

Yep. This year I ditched the usual new years resolutions and decided to roll with my new permanent new years resolution.
 
2018 is the year to get stuff done.
Forget the year of the rooster or monkey, or losing weight, or some other stuff. 
GET STUFF DONE!
 
And the Dat is one of the things on that hit list.
 
No work on the Datsun this week cause we are having our roof replaced onv the house, and I had about 4 days of prep to do before the builder arrived on site.
 
Some more parts arriving soon though.
 
Next job on the DAT is to strip the two pulsars for their electricky goodness and piff them off.
 
 
The last time I saw a Camira, was about 10 years ago in Forrestfield. Some dude had done a commodore body kit on it. It kinda look like he ad taken  VK or maybe a VL commodore bumpers, and side skirts and bolted them on.
It was wierd cause the bumpers clearly wernt for that car, so it jusrt looked out of place.
Perhaps It was aftermarket body kit for a Cameria, but regardless, it looked plan weird.

ebay mani all the way cheap and then only needs and adapter
 
eg.
 
this is a rip off but do remember going for 15usd at one stage

then this is what Id go for and get a later newer turbo to suit
