Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Good to see you are making progress!

Used a strong magnet to hold hopefully most of metal shavings on L as cut off plus plenty of rags. Hope to have running by upcoming weekend. Will try to have done enough to use at Mt Equinox Hill climb with VSCCA in August. Still have to get side BRE exhaust recreated.

Removed the evil L and added spacers.

Thank you for the shout out, glad your L surgery went well! Looking good! J

Finally getting back to the Roadster. Using a great local car repair shop (Auto Center in Chappaqua, NY) to fabricate the connections from header to exhaust. See photos of work in process. A bit of sculpture art.

I am surprised I never saw this thread. I think I have the easiest car to get these photos, but need to go to my brother's shop to do it, since it is sitting on the lift down there.

Cole, I think the reason no one makes one is the cost would be just stupid, Rock and Randy had I think 4 collectors with different size steps in them for torque curves, and the market would be what? 5 cars maybe?

Really like this car!

Header sounds good. Was costly to get done as a one off. After running it for a little bit I have decided I need to extend the tailpipe a little further back to rear and a little further out from under the car like in the red car in the picture supplied by others above to get the exhaust smoke a bit further from the driver. Shouldn’t be too bad to extend.
