so uh....Whats the Potential of that engine anyway? if you modify it.
and whats the HP stock?

(I know some Z-Vet is about to jump outta my toolbox and hit me with a lug wrench for askin noob questions, but i can't help it.)

 

it has the potential to explode if the car is taken over 60mph .

 

Fully built in race trim, you might get 180hp out of it. Stock, it'll be a two digit number to the wheels...

 

c r u c i a l . . . and pivotal.

 

Yea, its a stocker for now. About 65 ponies under the bonet of this beast keep it rolling with a "nifty fifty" city/MPG. Like i said . . .watch out. This is my new lambo killer. Not just anyone can pilot a machine of this caliber.

 

wow. you guys had me thinkin this little 4 banger was a monsterous beastie or somethin.

 

Oh . . . .oh it is. Just you wait. Sure it only has 65 ponies but the torque is equal to that of a CAT turbo diesel. Give or take a few hundred tq . . . .

 

Apollo, you really are a space-man.
Rock on Space-man....Rock on.

 

space cake.....

 

All setup and ready to rock and roll... err.. drill!

 

Hey hey hey . . .quit with the spam, Mr Hammond.

 

SPAM!

$3500?! He's freakin' crazy. For a first gen Z, yes, for a B210, I don't think so.

 

but I thought Datsun lovers would know what its worth! No fewer than 72 dollars!

ya, nobody 'wants' a B210 unless its free. If he got any offers over a grand he should take the money and run

 

Looks like more of a wood drill press, where'd you get it?

I wonder what color Apollo is going to paint that Bee?

There's not really a distinction between a "wood" drill press and a "metal" drill press, although you'll see a huge difference in what you'll find in a "wood shop" vs. a "metal shop", it's more a matter of how fast you can drill through the material as a measure of how much power the motor has and the type of bit you're using. A "real" machine shop will have very large, very powerful and very precise drill presses. I don't need that size, weight or precision for what I'm doing.

This is an all purpose drill press that I'll use for wood and metal and is light enough for me to maneuver around the garage on a mobile platform. That forces me to compromise on the speed I can drill through metal, but it'll go through wood like nobody's business and I can easily move it around at 150lbs vs. the 650+lbs a heavy duty drill press would be.

With a radial head, I can make angle cuts by rotating the drilling head rather than rotating the table the material is attached too.

This keeps the material stable and I can use it on long stock with the same roller stands I use for my miter saw.

It's a Grizzly model #G7946.

 

mazda miata blue. Like the early/mid 90's one. And your drill is soooooo last years model . . . .pft

 

As long as it has enough low speed selections I guess. My cheapie turns too fast for any decent metal work. The Monster at the shop is great though, a real 4 speed gear box, two speed forward and reverse motor, plus a super long quill travel and 5/8" chuck It eats belt drive units for breakfast. I'm sure it only cost a few thousand dollars more than both of ours combined. Or the boss stole it.

 

Yeah, I have access to a full machine shop, but it's about 30 miles from where I live, so it's not real convenient and I don't need to work really thick pieces very often so this is a good compromise for convenience and versatility. This one goes down to 550 rpm so it'll work pretty well for what I need.

 

nice press l-dub, and apollo, was the update, we need some drifting vid here

 

enough with the drill garbage already . . . .


Its wrenchin time. Got all the last gaskets and she should be running this afternoon. Might even open up the diff and weld up my spider gears if i can get the friggin lincoln working. Realistically since the head is already on i just gotta throw the manifold back on and thermostat and some belts. Maybe an hour or 2? its kinda funny cuz i was able to source out a NOS nissan valve cover gasket and the damn thing is made with asbestos. Has a warning not to make any dust or breath whilst near it. . .no bueno

pics to come later today and maybe a vid of the little beasty getting sideways

*cue heroic late 70's B210 theme song*

 

Sweet! My way too long *** project is almost over this weekend too. Is the bellhousing for the b210 the same as the Z? I have a very noisy but operable early 5 speed...

 

SUCCESS!!!!!!

Its all back together and she runs like a ****en top. Man . . .sure puts working on the L28 in perspective. I had the car up in the air for a total of 5 working hours. That included changing the wheels/tires, cooling system flush, replacinhg the head gasket, manifold gasket and a oil change. Kinda funny to cuz i was just about to put the manifold back together yesterday but i got a call from a homie who invited me to a private party on Buena Vista island to watch the Blue Angels and get trashed. Nothing beats free booze and a kick *** view of some jets.

OHV engine - fuel injection= easy as hell to work on

Just gotta smog it, get some bumpers and new tires for the front. Maybe some seats too. Later though. Man o man. Im ****en happy as hell right now.

Total investment so far-
$87.00 DMV reg and lien sale fees
$12.98 Nissan head gasket
$14.63 Nissan Manifold gasket
$6.74 Nissan Valve cover gasket
$2.80 Nissan thermostat
$0.98 AutoZone thermostat gasket
$33.59 Oil, oil filter, radiator fluid and flush from AutoZone

$158.72 For a beastly little 1978 B210 . . . . .Score one for Apollo

 

Tight bro' congrats man! You majorly scored on that car. And it looks pretty mean without the bumpers, and the original wheels. Well considering it is a 2 door. Take some things off, and make it look better. Way to go. Thumbs up!
