Yes Mike,i've just come home from the new owner session at Q.R.,there where three novice brothers driving,nice guys with a good attitude and willing to listen,only one of them had an off.
They also had a mate with a skyline and one of the brothers had his daily driver WRX both of which where on the track at the same time with everyone swapping around.Guess what,neither the rex or skyline could keep up with the thou,granted they are all novice drivers but they where totally gob smaked at how the little thing goes.
They now have a new appreciation for power to weight ratios and are converted.
As a matter of interest,the quickest of the boys was 6 seconds slower than the car is capable of,not that i told them that,they did well and are hanging out for more.

I love this picture! A high res scan would be great to use as a desktop or simmiler! Or a big laminated poster!

10" wide is massive for a thou! That would be a fair whack of overkill wouldnt it? You wouldnt need to brake just hammer it down the straight and turn in!

Nah Chris,10" high and 6" wide with Bridgestone slicks back in those days.
I use a copy of the same wheels on the KB10 now but with Yoky's

10" high??? How come such a small rolling diamiter? To help keep it in the peak RPM range?

Yes and to lower the C.G without altering geometry too much but most importantly to make up for a super short diff for the B10 that was'nt,and still is'nt available.

The wheels are widened Cooper S with machined down 12" centres - makes them handle like there on rails

ha ha, I think I'm gunna need some 10x6's..

they look tuff as...
and I guess it's Smokohama A008's?

(BTW whats hanging down under the sill?)

Tramp bars,with a safety strap

I love it when classic pics like this pop up.. looks like a 4 door with no rear door handles...

Yes,i was too lazy to signwrite around the handles so took them off.In later years when it was turned into a full blooded Sports Sedan the rear doors where welded shut. Cheers Bert

sheesh Bert, you have made it right up to Legend status now..

I hope the B10 you just sold has a good home, I was trying to convince the cook I HAD to have another thou..

it would have been long trips for you for training though..

Mike

If the wheels are 10 inch customs it would be gordon dobeys creation or copy.
However he played with 2 door sedans b10s for Nissan back then.

It is sandown and the car belongs to Robert souter,they are 10"wheels.A picture of twins at calder park was recently posted this is one of the cars.Rob's son runs the very quick 1000 improved production car now.Keep racing B10's in the family.
