What a weekend. Went out last night for a cruise in my mates 180B SSS with a FJ20T. The nights have been extra fresh lately and the turbo's arnt complaining. We had a few runs, a XR6 turbo, RX8 and a GTS-t. blew them all away.
The highlight of the night was a run with a mazda Capella Rotary (Turbo) 13B i think and a black Datsun 1600 with SR20T. All lined up at the lights we hit it! in front till we hit 3rd the 1600 screamed past. i looked back and the capella was fish tailing like crazy, every time he snapped a gear the car looked like it was going to hit the gutter.
We pulled over with the 1600 a bit further down and the Mazda went past with the ####s (couldnt drive) green P plates
the 1600 was hot as, beautyful car, the owner Dave said it had 280Kw.

what a night of action. You guys have any nice races.

Its not the best but like Pigdog said you can fit TRX rims on with spacers. My ute came with TRX rims on drum brakes (didd'nt last long)
But running a 15inch x 195/50 is alround the best size/profile on these rims.

Im in sydney and will have my set for sale in a few weeks. I have a full set of TRX rims including a spare, with centre caps and all fitted with 90% tread on the tyres and chrome weel nuts too.

PM me if your interested.

Good on you Trav, You were selling that Ute to cheap anyway mate.

Good to hear you will still be tearing up the road.

LPG is also good because it runs cooler than petrol.
The cheapest set-up would be Suck through turbo. a adapter plate for your standard inlet manafold slap on a webber. No intercooler or fuel regulator required and no need for a high pressure fuel pump.

minimum parts = min cost and good alround performance with this set-up.

Oils aint Oils Shirley !! You are best to use diff Oil. you can find the type of oil in a datsun manual, or some people will now off by heart. This also goes for how much you will need to do the job. The diff centre will have a plug that gives you access.

With that being your prob, check if the diff is leaking.
I use to have a rule with datsun's if the diff centre comes out it only goes back in LOCKED

Good luck i hope it only a small prob.

I ve now got that Datsun Difference. Recieved my stickers today. Good alround quality and nice to see those old origional stickers back.

In this topic i would like to see some threads of runs you might have had in a Datto. It could be yours or a mates.

what have you run? on the street or strip?

I was with a good mate on Sunday night and had two mad runs on the highway. we were in a 1200 Sedan with a crazy worked A15 rev machine and we came up to a ford Laser turbo. looked standard but spooled up so hard it sounded nice. We riped half a car infront in every gear.
Then we came up to a Honda with Vtech black bonnet, monster tacho.
pretty much neck and neck on the roll start, reved so hard! but we got him off the mark at the next set of lights. those front weel drives will never learn. Munch munch.

Im looking for a 1200 front bumper bar in any half resonable condition. This bar will be re-chromed so if it has rust or minior damage then thats fine.

I don't know the finer details on suck through, but on Blow through. The brass one collapses under boost (squashes flat)
Like a coke can. crushes

Those are air vents on the blue bonnet not scoops,there off later model ford and heaps of early model WRX had them too.

The ones i suggested are the XA/XB Ford bonnet scoops. Cut out and fitted to the 1200 bonnet. Looks similar to a GX bonnet with air induction. BAD310 has posted some pics of the bonnet and air vents below fitted to his sunny bonnet.
Not a bad idea.
