guys, i'm definately with MadTimo on this one. Being a 1600 freak myself, and knowing heaps of people with 1600's, l'd have to say that the only thing any of them say when they see my 1200 ute is....sweet!!!!!

I haven't met one guy who's into 1600's that doesn't like 1200's....

As for no effort to build them....hmmm...ever seen a L18 turbo, or race prepped L20 on the street...
then you'll definately change your tune!!!

oh yeah did l mention CA18det to 1200 fit kit!!!! Tell me you don't want one coz its too easy!!!!

i think im the only guy with a '71 1200 coupe in Arizona (usa). Every one and their sister has a 510 with a firggn' VG, i have no a/c, no heat, no fuel injection and im happy

You mean these actuallt exist, or are you just teasin!! haha.

Anyway, I know for one that I would be interested in that one!

i really like your car, how long have you had it 4??
did you start it from scratch??

The 1600 is a damn fine piece of automotive history. lets make sure we dont blame the car.
There are jerks everywhere. unfortunately some of them pick up a cheap, quick car and dont give a rats what it is. i find this sad.

im saying in general, i dont agree with that kit thing

ive spoken to 1600 drivers and theyve said "whats a 1200" or ive shown them my car and they dont have a clue that its even datsun

BTW ca18det crossmember IS available for 1200

who you talking to dani?

i actually once owned a 1600 (first car i guess you could say), rust bucket given to me that i never got on the road, i do like the car its just the drivers IVE come accross that irritate me with their iggnorance

there is always exceptions and these drivers i met may not even be the majority

nah man MADDAT motorsport in aussie make ca18DET into 1200 xmembers.
they were working on a gbox xmember last i knew, but as there are so many that get used in 1200s they were deciding which type to make.

1200s rule the roads
1600s are a close second.

I'm sorry 1200rallycar but I really have to disagree with you on this one!

I drive a 1600 but have owned two 1200 sedans (one of them before I even liked 1600's) which I really loved and wished that I never had to sell. Even now I have plans to keep the 16 but also get a 1200 coupe (when I can afford 2 lots of rego!).

Most 1600 owners I know love 1200's too, and prolly 1/3 of them have owned one or two in the past. Apart from the odd wanker (as you get anywhere else) most 1600 owners I know don't discriminate between models of Datsun, as long as it's a datto then its cool! :D

I know when I am out driving I wave to whatever datto owner - 1000, 1200 or 1600 - or 120y, 180b, 200b etc etc - who looks like they give a #### about their car.

(by the way my ca18t was fitted without a 'kit') ;)

i have nuthing agianest 1600, i like em

the cars i cant stand these days are Scoobies and skylines.......dont get me wrong i like these cars but they are everywhere.... every single magazine you pick up these days have never ending pics of scoobies and skylines

i reckon there should be a car mag that is dedicateed to DATSUNS!!! that would come out once a month or once every two months

it could have local done up dattos, overseas done up dattos and stock datto of the month
has anyone else thought of this ?

Good idea, but lacking something in the execution. The purpose of every magazine is to make money. Can you make any money only showing Datto's? You might have to charge $20 an issue just to break even.

FWIW, anyone that wants to run with this, I'll supply you with quality magazine features of Datto's for free.
