I must have missed the original post on this. Are the u-joints aligned correctly? On the U20 driveshaft, only the rear one is actually integral with the driveshaft. The front one is bolted to the bac
I know there are differences between dynos, so the following shouldn't be taken as gospel, but... A couple of weekends ago NWDE did a dyno day for it's members. Guy Selle ran his vintage racer 2000 t
By "front sub-frame" do you mean the inner fenders and the box-section channels that go forward from the firewall? If so, I'd imagine they do quite a bit to stiffen the front.
I've occasionally seen roadsters that would idle at 600 rpm, but not frequently. 700-800 is fine. My Solexed and mildly cammed 2000 idles at about 750, but that's a completely fresh engine. In this s
Mounting it in the water pump will show you the temperature of the water after it has gone through the radiator, so that won't be all that helpful. You won't be able to correlate that reading with an
Well, I admit I've never played with a setup like this, but I'd think a single 40DCOE is far too little carb for a 1600 (what choke is it running?). And the indication from the plug readings is that
Yes, the choke size is the main issue. The SU's don't really have the equivalent of chokes other than the ramp for the jets. It wouldn't surprise me if the Weber is running something like 34 chokes o
They should be 8x1.25mm thread. Early 1600s used 5/16". If the nuts are original Nissan nuts, they'll be a 12mm wrench size. If they were gotten from a hardware store or a nut 'n bolt place, they'll
Depends on how thorough you want to be. Here's what I normally do. See Yes. Have the main oil gallery tapped out and replaced with threaded plugs. But don't have the shop install the plugs. Bring the
The roll pins are notorious for doing that under hard use. BRE made some that were kind of "spiral-wound" rather than being a single layer with a hollow center.
Yes, your basic understanding is correct. For a given engine speed, a bigger port cross-section area will have a lower velocity than will a smaller port at the same rpm. If the velocity drops too low
No, the 200SX used the CA20E, not the same at all as the SR20DE. The first time the SR20 appeared in the US was in the 1991 Sentra SE-R and NX2000 (and the Infiniti G20).
Sounds like the beginnings of wear on the ring & pinion. When it starts doing it under acceleration and/or normal driving, you'll know it's about to go out.
