OK so who is up for re- manufacturing some of these ?
With todays modern rapid prototyping techniques, making some would not be out of sight, what we would need is a blueprint or a fresh drawing / design.
With a Parasolid 3d cad file in x_t format I reckon we could stamp the first one out in about 3 days
Over to you guy's

i was thinking about it giles, but whats the point in carbies they might be cool but even these would be no match for FI.
These parts are not used on anyones race cars, believe me ive looked. If they still exist theyre in somoones garage and theyve been lost.
OR!!!
somones seen them and bolted them onto a VW?

youve got a lot to learn haha, when nissan made an attack on the ARC in the 60s, 70s and 80s the cars had to be returned to nissan after they completed there work, it was so noone could buy and thus steal theyre technology. They realised it would cost nearly 100 000$a (apparently) on the import taxes back to Japan, so they scuttled them.mud_king91 wrote:i reckon the parts are sitting on some beast of a brumby in N.Z or here in S.A check out the rallies if you find a unit of a brumby in there then you know where the safari gear went hahaha

That does it, someone needs to go out on an expedition to every NZ wreckers yard and scour every old subie or even the engine pile for this engine/cylinder heads
Would make a pretty cool YT documentary though, hunting down the mystical EA81 Safari engine

Unfortunately anything as old is these is pretty much crushed or smelted complete these days, unless someone knows what they are looking at, it's hard enough to find a rough brumby to rob parts from, let alone something more desireable.Silverbullet wrote:That does it, someone needs to go out on an expedition to every NZ wreckers yard and scour every old subie or even the engine pile for this engine/cylinder heads

The NZ climate is pretty hard on japanese steel from the 70's and 80's

theyre not at a single point, theyre on the whole path. One of the people on the boat at the time happened to be a Nissan rally guy from america apparently he got some of the good parts off it. The was talk in the 90's about going out and getting everything to document it but sense provailed.Brumby Kid wrote:So somewhere there is a heap of rally nissans swimming with the fishes, at the bottom of the sea.

Been done already. Paul from Subarwreck spent 6 months in newzealand hunting down parts and sending them back. Also got a load from Japan. There arent many places to look.
most never made it to the road?mud_king91 wrote:theres only a couple left due to either being thrashed solen or written off
Its the same with all the HSVs most specials get to the show room and put in the shed.

When I saw this I thought "No, it couldn't possibly be..."Loyale 2.7 Turbo wrote:
Then read Jonno's post about EA71 and fabrication and realized what was going on Very very interesting that someone would go to all this trouble, I wonder how it turned out. Seeing how they drilled big holes in each head and welded those manifolds on, makes a DIY quad carb EA81 seem a lot more do-able...no no no what am I thinking, shouldn't be getting ideas
