Glad to see you guys are Datsun racers, I feel right at home now!!!
Im a newbie, my name is Craig and want to build a GT40 spaceframe racecar...no ADR RTA or airconditioning for me. Just raw horsepower and lightweight is my objective. I used to race Formula Ford as well....
Anyway I currently race a modified 1200 coupe with as follows:-

SR20 power the engine has got winged/finned baffled sump, adj cam gears, rockers stoppers, dave flood exhaust , and EFI Hardware 48mm Quad throttle bodies, bosch injectors, oil cooler and full race radiator and new autronic SMC driving fuel and ign.
weighs 850 dry so power to weight is good.
The gearbox is Nissan R32 GTS-Turbo and Diff is an L300 with 1 degree neg camber cut and welded into housing. To accomodate this is a mini spool centre using Porsche 930 turbo CVs and axles are shortened Ford 9 inch. It comes with 2 centres 4.6 and 5.3.
15x6.5 Italian Sparco Rallye with (A032r)
The brakes are Wilwood superlite 4 spots, Wilwood discs with custom hubs and rears are standard L300 discs and calipers.
Springs are John Taylor special rear leafs and fronts are 180lb king springs, shocks are Spax on-car adjustable in rear and revalved customs in front.

Anyway I reckon this should keep me amused until I start and finish my buildup on a GT40.
As you guys are racers, any chassis you recommend for racing and what gearbox would would recommend? Hewland, Quaife or would the G50 and or Audi box be ok? I will keep engine pretty close to reliable spec at this stage.
