Datsun is not like the 240sx, you don't have craigslist flooded with parts in walking distance from multiple fan boi's looking to make a quick flip charging "drift tax."
Therefore, one must become strategic through online search techniques and key words used to find these hidden gems on ebay.
Last week I ordered my midmount intercooler from Cxracing on ebay; which is half price on ebay compared to cxracing.com site.
This week we are solely focused on the red s14, getting this car running this weekend is priority as next weekend is HIN ( HOT Import Night and XDC, Phoenix AZ )
As for datto, my next step is to decide what engine mounts I will be using. As you can see the sr20det is sitting in place with the stock 510 motor mounts. However, as noted is how low the oil pan sits. The oil pan does not sit lower than the front crossmember but it's very close.
This issue doesn't concern me too much, I'm usually not the one to put the car on its' nutts however you never want to take the risk when you can alleviate it from the beginning.
There are a few mount kits available in Australia and Mckinney motorsports in the states, however nothing fits like custom. I'm deciding between adapting the stock cross member to use stock sr20 mounts or purchasing a universal polyurethane mount bushing and fabricating a bracket. Once the motor sits in its desirable position we'll complete the tranny mount and then to the turbo kit positioning.
you were right your famous lol.
