Bonnets been painted orange to match the car, which it doesn't lol.. so just another shade of orange added... have to rat it up somehow. :s

Got some 155/55r14's for it.. little bit lower, also got fender mirrors on. Now it needs the grille bar and eyelid's taken off, all polished up and painted and a new front apron put on and painted. I'll add a small chin spoiler to cover the radius rods and bottum of the apron up... will also make the car look lower.

Other than that.. i'm going to just drive the ass out of it, A12 is abit smokey so will hunt an a14 down and shave the head and whack some bike carbys on it and put it in the car some stage soonish as A12 is really slow haha!

chasing a H145/65 diff for a 1200 sedan. If its a 165 i believe i need the tailshaft to suit.

Sydney only.

just the stock asian or aisan or whatever the stock carby is.

I'll put a set of motorbike carbs on it soon :)

Put it this way, 2 weeks ago I was not a Datsun person. I appreciated the builds but did not think I'd ever own one... Till a friend put up a photo on Facebook of a Little Ratty 1200 sedan. I had to buy it. I don't even know what made me want it but anyway, I ended up with a ratty 1200 sedan.




Photos make it look real clean.




Had a set of 14x7 SSR MK2's kicking around the shed.




Tevin wanted to buy the rims, was going to sell them... then bought a datsun.. I am the worst friend ever hahahah!!
















TAKE 1 Datsun 120y Strut.




Clean dat




remove spring perch




Instead of using a grinder, I used the lathe so I could reuse these perches on another set of struts to make a lowered set on normal springs so it's abit softer instead of 8kg springs lol




Find the cheapest revalvable Insert that was the shortest for that strut....

Now.. f#%k paying $300 for a sleeve kit... Went to a local suspension shop with a pair of vernier calipers about 3 months ago and picked up about 5 sets of coilovers from different cars...




Look... the Rear S13 coilovers.. same ones that are in Brontes Cuore.




Datto 120y strut is 45mm on the outside, this happenes to be 46mm... sweeeeeeeet.




So chopped one side up ( kept the other for another set of coilovers :D )




Thats the strut shortened ready to be migged up




welded and ground back




Favourite colour of black




Cheap second handy Cambertops.....

There you go, now you know how to make a cheap pair of coilovers haha!




installed :D




Ride height .. tick




Put a new inlet gasket on and cleaned the carby so it won't sound like a John Deere anymore lol..




girlfriend decided to clean the sump, then the gearbox... then the diff... hahaha so when I go to weld the diff up tonight... atleast it will be clean! I like her thinking :)

The springs are already sagging. I'm going to hold off for a while and make him a set of coil overs once I do some research as he will need a bit of a brake upgrade.

For a little while, I'm putting the A15 in it and getting it all sorted for him but at the moment i'm playing with cosmetics for Datsun Day and just because I can only drive a car that's dumped on its corn-hole and got front lips hanging off it haha!

Heres some pictures of my mates 120Y.

His lent me his car for a while and I've done a few things for him.




The Day he got it




He had the 14x5 or whatever gay size they were Wantanabe's all round for the last few weeks. I got it today ripped them off and put my 14x7 SSR mk3's onto it! Had to get an 8mm slip on spacer to clear the brakes




got them on and then installed the Makita springs







SSR's all round




Chin lip mock up







anyway update when this is sitting in the engine bay




Catchya, Jordain!

Here you go Dion. All done! Lip needs to be painted and your front apron needs to be pulled abit on the drivers side!
