I no it won't macth up to a car with turbo and N20 but I have seen first hand how quick his Datsun really was. Once he raced a friend of mine who had a Honda Civic B18 turbo and he beat him with about 4 lengths. All I could heard when he passed me was "Woosh" because of how quick he was going.

I know you think I may be lying but I am not. My uncle brought to me several of his friends who have seen it in action and that the biggest race my uncle had was against a 5.0L Mustang with Holly 4 barle and hooker headers and beat it by 5 or 6 lengths.

Hi, everyone in the Datsun 1200 Club. Remember that I had posted a while back that my beloved Datsun 210/B210 was involved in a very serious head on collision (Sorry, about the photos. Still haven't finished the roll I have.) Well, I have been away from the site because I was busy locating and obtaining the parts that I need to fix my car. I have save up a total of $850 to spend on the car. The hood, driver side fender, front bumper, headlight mount and headlight, and radiator was given to me for free by my uncle. I didn't ask for the ac radiator because I am going to eliminate the A/C system.

The straighting of the sub frame comes out $125. My cousin said that he will paint my hood and fender for $300. The other day at the university, I told the teacher that gives me class on internal combustion engine, the progress I was making. I told him I have $425 left and he told me that if I wanted for $250 at a machine shop they would work on my top and turn it into a race spec one to run on stock cam and would knife cut and balance my crankshaft. He said he had a Datsun 210/B210 once and did these mod and they produced big power.

Now, my uncle did the same thing to a motor he has and told me that after he did these mods his Datsun would beat V6, V8, Turbo, and Turbo-Nitrous fed cars like nothing. Has anyone here done these mods? If so, what significate diffrence does it make and does it have the power to bet those typs of car? All replys will help me make a better disicion on how to mod my motor with the remaing money.

Thanks alot you guy and it feels good to be back with my Datsun.

I'd let you sleep on my couch but your in the US. If we lived closer I'd let you sleep on the couch and we could repair my 210, which is in the works, so look out for Project 210 Resurection.

Spacers could probably help clear the calipers being that the rim will be out more but then you have to buy longer wheel studs so that the lug nuts tighten properly.

I say it's an easy 5000 or 6000 for it. It looks staright and the rust isn't that important because its on the lower parts of the fender.

My opinion is yes. When my Datsun B210/210 was runing, everywhere that I would stop people would say " Hey, cool Datsun. My dad/mom/uncle/grandma had one. How much do you want for it?" Datsuns are rare as a company because it dosen't exsist anymore. Then on top of that you have one that it 20, 30, 40, or even 50 years old and it looks like it came out of the nissan dealership yesterday.

Not only that but when you have a Datsun you meet really cool Datsun owners too. I remember once I went to the plaza in Bayamon here in Puerto Rico and this guy stoped me because he wanted to see the car. After he looked over every nok and carany of the car he said " Nice car. A lot of work was put into it. So, how much you want for it?" The guy was willing to give me $15,000 and his Mazda RX-7 Turbo 2 for my Datsun and I said no.

Who knows, in a couple of years from now we might see Datsuns at Barret Jackson Car Acutions going for $120,000.

I would love to go to the criuse but there are two things holding me back from doing it.

1.I don't live in Australia, I live in Puerto Rico.
2. My Datsun 210/Sunny in crashed and I haven't been able to repair it.

At first when I heard it from my friends I though it was a sick joke but then when I saw it on the news, I couldn't believe it.

R.I.P. Steve Irwin. You left a lasting imprestion on the world.

Oh, and Dodgeman, your the real D***head. The guy ain't done nothing to you to disrespect him like that.
