Also no need to run a 9" as said there just to heavy and over kill.im running a hilux and its cops 500hp and still keeps going

We don't have the heliux here in t he states


Doing the ford because the availability of parts, like strange or wilwood brake disk and a few others

How hard is to ship one pick up from Australia??? Probably Costa Rican since they are left hand drive also

Hilux was sold in America. It was marketed as Toyota Pickup. In 1995 the Tacoma replaced it.

But why bother. You know how to build a top-notch rotary 1200.

8 inch ford Mustang and other models are a good choice
a bit lighter and take heaps of pushishment like the hilux
but unlike Hilux strange alloy and others make alloy centres
and other billet bits, lockers, lsds etc.

I had a rotary in my old 1000, was too slow and when I tried
to engineer it but ran out of time in the end not to mention
got caught driving it by the fuzz when testing it mildy :)

Had various rotary mazda cars up to 15 years ago and would
love them again but hard to ignore a good 4 cyl these days.
SR20VET is so cheap in the US, I would not look the other way.
They are commanding big prices now in JPN.
They command what a couple of rotary housings go for these days.
Way more reliable and can do big skids on all 4 tires on heavy Xtrails

"was too slow" ... haha grandpa. Unless you are talking about a 10A ... here can fit 13B turbo highly modified no problem with registration.

too slow finishing the conversion I meant, rotarys are fast,
reliable for high hp and racing but super expensive these days
and BTW I look young enough to be your grand son DD :)

thanks, guys.... you are correct on the rotary engine price.. they are up the roof these days looking to have at least 450rwhp with my projected set up. the only bad part is getting people to work on the car. so far my best luck will be sending the car to Puerto Rico, since they are being working on them for the longest. just to give you and idea, to have the mini tub done they want 4k. this is not including the differential or and every parts need it. I wont imagine how much the might ask to paint the car completely. the car will be paint a different blue from the 2010 Subaru Impreza,

4k is a good price for custom full painting. How much would it cost in PR?

You are in the States the land of cheap cars and endless variety
for most things other than japanese cars but you could get a
chevette with an LS conversion for prob the price of tubs.

US wise you can get so many things already setup for what you want
that you can leave that datsun with a few mods to enjoy as is.

Have you considered something easier to start from or already worked
on like if you go to Datrats there might be a project to save $$ on.
4k for tubs is Monaco prices.

Also can consider a race car and convert it back for the road

I wish if we're 4 for a custom paint here, they want 4k for just the mini tub work alone
