im putting my ca18det out of my 180sx in it. it runs a easy 16psi for a nice drive but for petty reasons i run it on 12psi. need to get a dyno reading when shes finished. Atm i am making it a tray top with a space cab to add strenght also im renforcing the chassis and full custom interior. heaps of work is still ahead and ill add the old pics with the updated pics

sorry mate those wheels...i hope your not using them...lol,
what i did with my extracab was i have a couple ute shells and took sections out behind the doors 20mm overlap fully weld in both sides, also took off the sills and put reinforcing panels in behind


goodluck

I reckon the wheels rock! Put them on for sure. I love modern bling on the old school cars looks awesome. Carry on!

yer mate but im gonna have two one for work with tool boxes on it and other one with a big datsun sign in middle of the tray

All i can say is u have opened a MAJOR can of worms mate lol and im speaking from experience good luck with the build champ
