Thank, I get it now

Since the shifter is farther back, you had to cut a new hole in the long console. Now I have some idea of what this "mystery console" is, looks like they used a 1200 shift boot

3 stumpys came up for sale on Datsun Classified on the weekend! lol 1 stumpy skyline and 2 Stanzas...

Hard to see in my photo, but it's already got the long B210 console. Had to cut about 3" more out of it for the shifter. I reckon I can make something up to fill the middle of it. Or make a new one - There was a mob making centre consoles 30yrs ago - they used to advertise in Street Machine magazine. I had one in my first Datsun 1200 sedan. They were just MDF with some foam glued over it and trimmed in black vinyl - wouldn't be hard to make something like that.

or maybe get a B210 long console? I haven't seen one in my country, but apparently they used in Japan

Looking at that centre console, maybe you should find one of these, a Datsun 1200 ute centre console, but not at this price. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DATSUN-120 ... 806a19:g:mIQAAOSwtJZXWhPX
It would give a little storage space & maybe even cover that plate. I was looking at the Sunny centre consoles & they have the same problem as the 120Y one. Lucky for me I have some stumpy's, so I wont need to cut the tunnel or the console.

cheers. I've always like the uniqueness of 120Y coupes. Lowered on wide wheels transforms them I reckon.

I've moved the radiator across 80mm - Heaps of clearance to the alternator now. It puts the radiator in the right place for the Stanza hoses, which is what I should've done in the first place... Just need a new top hose now.

I love this build harry, I'd almost like a 120y hatch or wagon now

Bled the clutch and made up a new blanking plate for the transmission tunnel this morning. The Stanza donor car's bonnet was harmed in the making of this lol I'll have to make up a big new gearshift boot to fill the hole in the console...
So it's all back together now, but after a test run the alternator just touches the bottom radiator hose so I'll have to move the radiator over to the side a few inches - won't need the extension in the top hose after that.

Funny you say that about the Toyota chassis as any of the last supra A80 turbos
are fetching more than R32 GTR Godzillas, 35k USD for an original and based on
Z30 soarer chassis. Quality chassis and toyota quality in general is hard to beat.

MR2 actually has awesome traction on the Federal RS-RR rubber. It's just the mid 90's 3VZ-FE V6 with 150KW, chromemoly TODA flywheel, puck clutch and Quaffe LSD. It's a fun little car, handles pretty good - feels nice and light, small and nimble compared to the Soarer, but it still weighs 1200kg somehow! I'm enjoying getting used to the MR handling characteristics too - it's a different ting to drive. Sounds good too.

Soarer is a beast for something so stock. The 1JZ is a pretty awesome motor. I was thinking about selling it just because it's a bit expensive running 4 cars, but they're really worth nothing here and I have a soft spot for the big old girl. Good to hear the values are going up in Japan. They really are ridiculously cheap performance cars, and very underrated. People seem to think they're only good for straight line stuff, but they handle better than Nissan S and R chassis cars if you ask me.

I picked up the shortened tailshaft on the way home today. 120Y is all back together now and battery on charge. Just need to sort out the transmission tunnel on the weekend and it's done! :)

Nice MR2 must do good skidz! which v6 does it have?
Toyota makes some awesome v6 donks

Ive always wanted an american BG 5 speed bellhousing from factory 280zx turbo L28et
to use a later T5 world class with close ratio gearset with nice compact S-10 rear housing
makes it a smal box and gearshift in the right place

Soarers are going up in value in Japan
