Jup, the roof was lifted... Its quite funny for us tall people. At least the headroom helps. But lower slung seats also helps. Oh from I'm from South Africa btw. Love the build! And has given me some inspiration to finish my b110....
I had a '62 Austin Healy Sprite with the A-Series 1098, dual throat Side Draft Weber, with no problems getting the back end to step out with a bit of aggressive cornering and a clutch dump
I got a good laugh out of the 6" rule bit! I have 28 years in machine shop work and always have a 6" rule, calculator, sharpie and red and black pens in my pocket. I scored my bananna at lunch today to start the peel with it. I have no use for work shirts without pockets. haha
Dave is skilled, Dave has good ideas, Dave is a nice guy and good for a chat (given more than half of this video was chatting with Dave). However, Dave does need to consider the concept of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should", particularly when it comes to wheel sizes.
Loving the Sunny Truck mods. Honestly I would put the cam in when you do the head. The Haltech will make it behave much nicer than if it was on carbs and dizzy with that cam.
Didn't get all the way thru the vid yet but wanted to mention two things: If these engines are based on the old Austin A-series motors, a epic mod for those is a 16v cylinder head conversion from a BMW K100 (or something with similar letters & numbers) motorcycle. Been a while so memory is shady on the subject, but it isn't extremely complex to do and kisses the x-flow stuff goodbye. most info on this conversion are on the internet and the kits used to be too. The second thing is, R1 injectors might be worth a look if you run into the upper limits of the r6 bits. Not sure if I'm remembering this 100 correctly but some 600s (or possibly the 1000's) of this era use 8 injectors, the other 4 are in the airbox and squirt down the bellmouths from above at high revs. If yamaha are like kawasaki the injectors in the bodies are probably a straight swap if the years are within around 2-4 of each other regardless of cc of bike. Loving the progress Mark. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
I'm pretty sure the datsun A series is based on the BMC B series, datsun / nissan borrowed the bmc A series as well which has links to the cg13de from K11 micras. It was a post WW2 generous licensing agreement to help get Japan back on its feet.
It's a single layer panel so easy to get to just a little obvious. I can get to the bottom half under the tray okay and hide it down there. top half though....
Ummm Maaark....... When Davo is setting up the drivability buttons........... Get him to add a Flame tune :-) Blat, Doort, Crackle whoomph POP ... You know you wanna shoot flames lol
I always find it strange that Australia's sexiest male model decided to become an auto sparky instead. Whatever makes Dave happy, but the massive paycut must have been hard to adjust to.

Whoah! An hours worth of Mark with good old Dave as guest! Great stuff on the Sunny,Mark!
Big smiles mark I'm only halfway through. I'm so happy for you to see the sunny truck live again

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey

Dave : "in terms of engine, there's not a lot going on" 😅
Love to see you so happy with the start.
A ride height sensor would be cool directly linked airshocks / bags on the rear suspension to keep a constant height and ground clearance!!

Hahahaha! 6" rules er....RULE!
I use a pocket tee, always have my rule, and sharpie in there. When I lean over to grab something they fall out, I do that about 5 times a day lol
Gotta have your pocket scale available at all times!
@@legacyautofocus me too! I call that "loosing my brains"!
Been waiting for this episode. 😍😍😍
Me too.

I'm thinking now to just wholesale the A15 in.
Saves a lot of buggerising around.
Loving this. I'm also "in the middle" of converting my Datsun into EFI.
Dave is such a nice guy
A thorough Gentleman.

If you can get to the backside of the panel you want to sound deaden that should work just as well

top half though....
Dorts
Any advice on my sunny truck? My hand break keeps dropping on its own and it's annoying 😭. Thanks in advance ❤
Most probably a busted spring in the handle.

He is a handsome man no doubt.
Maybe add a electric water pump
