WOW!!!


from 2002 to 2024, i always wondered what happend to the Guacamobile, now I cant even find a photo of it ...

Good thing Greg attached one when he was selling it

* it has Nismo anniversary steering wheel
* newer engine (mid-dizzy)
* smallest battery i ever seen (ORIDO branded)

The BRIDE seats without headrests ... I don't know... looks cool but is it like riding a bike without a helmet?

I like how the garage lift is on a polished wooden floor next to a Porsche

V I D E O: R130 Orido BeeRacing

1972 GX5 with what looks like Hayashi Street wheels


When up on the lift, the chassis underside looks every bit as beautiful as the sheet metal topside

Looking very good. That R31 rear axle looks great

Hard to believe this is the same car

Can't believe it's been 9 months well progress has been slow as I am renovating a house that we bought.
It's back in the workshop on the hoist, Superfatto coilovers installed, R31 rear axle installed, brakes all hooked up but no fluid in yet
Engine and g'box installed, inlet and exhaust still to hook up.
No wiring sorted out but plans to rear mount the battery and possibly the ECU

Here's some random photos

good question

we really need that. Somebody with an engine out of the car could measure it

As far as I recall we only have two diagrams:
* Flywheel & Gearbox bolt dimensions from Datsun
* Block mounting dimensions also see Block Comparison : Dimension

Maybe this will help (don't forget to add gasket thicknesses)
* Cylinder head thickness is 74 mm
* A14 block deck height is 204.1 mm
* looks like 15cm from oil pan rail to bottom of sump

V I D E O: PB110 DATSUN SUNNY Excellent GX

Great video from Hide's Channel. Turn on subtitles/CC auto-generated (then select auto-translate/english)

In the video it is referred to as a "47" year car (Showa 47=1972) "cat" = car

Has those cool Weds RACINGFORG wheels

I have the choke mostly working right for summer. Winter here gets down to -30C and summer gets up over 40C, and I end up fiddling with the choke settings a lot. But it's working well for warm trending towards hot, and I've been driving it about half the time, and it's so nice. The car gets 50% better fuel economy than my 2010 car that cost me like 6x as much, and every time I go out, someone says something about it, usually "hey what engine does that have?" and I get to tell them about how nicely the A14 has treated me over the years.

Liking to buy a Datsun 1200 ute project in nsw let me know what you have
