Re: nis720 KA-T build
Looking good. Is that red paint inside the block, or some other kind of coating? It's Glyptal Insulating paint. It's suppose to help with the oil drain back. It's not a proven theory as to how effective it is but it was worth a shot. The other thing I'm waiting on is painting the outside of the blo...

Any updates on this truck? Met you a few years ago at the Fontana SouthWest Datsun Pickups BBQ, and loved the truck. Been a while since I've been to those meets. What truck were you driving?

I want to put a new carpet back in... but I'm getting the engine bay repainted and the inside of the cab done too. Not sure if I will want carpet once that's done. Yeah I hear you, a carpet less floor with a fresh coat of paint looks really good! If you went that route, would you remove the sound m...

Re: nis720 KA-T build
Damn, that sucks it blew. Built motor time? The trans cover plate looks good. LOVE IT!!! You love that he blew it up? Motor ran great for 4 years untuned. Pinging under heavy load and top end. I think that's what took it's toll on the motor. Now that I got it tuned and beefed up the trans is when i...

Sadly with all the upgrades (tune, better flowing header, Z32 trans and 8.8 rear end) my weaklest link once again is the motor. Took for a spin last night and blew the motor. Motor ran untuned for 4 years with occasional pinging and I think it was already hurt. This would explain the numbers not bei...

Re: nis720 KA-T build
Battleling some heat issues with the intake temp. This is on a conservative tune and only revving to 5500rpm. I think there's more power up top but didn't want to push it till I get the new head in and turbo cam. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d193/nis720/Turbo/fb6060d8-4bcb-4586-a54e-1f3baf53383...

I have no idea what it will put down, but this is definitely one of my favorite builds on this forum. That "upskirt" pic is nice! The rear wheels, tires, and stance are dead sexy. I assume your shifter isn't buzzing like mine or you would have mentioned it..? I have a big hole where the s...

Nice. Yours looks much better than mine! Luckily it's under the car where no one will see it. I also just posted a comment in your build thread about rattling/buzzing from the Mazworx shifter that you may want to be aware of. Thanks man, but I gotta give credit to my friend that TIG welded it. Also...

Re: nis720 KA-T build
Looks great man. I just got my Mazworx/Z32 setup in this weekend. One thing I want to warn you about is that the shifter rattles/buzzes like crazy. I've searched online and it seems like it's a common gripe about the Mazworx shifter. Luckily, I have a loud stereo that I can crank up to drown it out...

Sorry guys, I don't check this as often as I should. I don't have any photos of the modifications done so I drew it up quickly to hopefully explain it better. The red bracket thing is the shifter bracket. The black triangles are just 3/16" plate triangles that I cut and welded into each bend(4...

Finally got my trans in and testing the Xcessive shortened shifter bracket on my truck.... it feels really flimsy, simply pushing down it flexes. I will post pics of the gussets once I get them done.
