This is my collection of datsuns (+one ugly friend) I have them all reg`d and insured (about 3k per year) thats alot cheaper than my friends skyline (loan, comprehesive insurance, reg. 4k+per year.)
From left to right :`67 Datsun 1000 2 dr (b10), A15T, Toyota split case 5 speed, To3 from rb30 high flowed to a15 30 psi,( At least 125+rwkw: dyno`d at 105rwkw@17psi). This was my first car I bouht I got it with 26,000 orig miles, one owners family wanted him off the road.
Datsun 1000 wagon (vb10) A10, Ford 4 speed, bullet proof drive train. When I bought this car it had just done a 12.7 sec pass. Last year I pulled the motor and fitted a dellow 5 speed and put it in the sedan. I cant bear to get rid of this old beast (shes only done 15 kms in the last 12 months)
Datsun 240Z (HS30) L26 out to 2800, Race cam, Triple 45 DCOE webers, tuned exhaust, std. 5 speed. I spotted this old beast under a tree in the backyard next to house i was working at. he`d spent about 20k+ on it (15+ years ago) and left it under a tree. I got it for 1.5k ( I had to get a set elmulsion tubes /main jets /pump jets) for the webers costing about $500.00 but that was about it shes not the prettiest z but i rekon shes the sweetest sounding.... she has no mufflers in the system ( straight out)
280 C (cedric) P330. I bought this a couple of months ago, I hadnt seen one on the road for ages and this was a good example too good to pass up. All original fully loaded (P/S, P/W, A/C, Tape player with am and fm, I cant belive the same donk is in the zed ((shes slower than a standard 1000 ) But shes a magic carpet ride.
Mistashiti Pigma Porkion turbo I bought this car after i got a t4 turbo off the net cheap it came with inlet and exhaust manifols for a 2.6 astron and they looked too good to scrap so the porkion was aquired for 1k (12mnth rego) on 18 psi shes faster than the zed but not quite upto the A15t.
well thats the datsonovic fleet apart from the workhorse `96 Hiace 2.8d lwb and the poosuki altoabusa project (`86 suzuki alto/gsxr 1300) road reg hillclimb machine.

very nice!!! quick question is the 1000 fuel injected or carbie??? very impressive power!!


edit: owwww its that one

the 1000 has a zenith stromberg 1.75 cd (constant depresion) carby similar to a su (skinners union) carby

Thats a very impressive fleet, and all registered, not many of us can make that claim unfortunately.

The Scorpion wasnt such a bad car, I think they will be remembered more fondly the older they get, and with 2.6 litres they have a bit of potential for a four.

What Ford 4spd is behind the VB10? Easy conversion?

Nice fleet btw. I know what you mean about the sound of a un muffled, triple weber'd Z... music to the ears!

hmm, why does it cost $3000 to insure and rego your fleet? wouldn't cost nearly that much here in the states

Nice fleet. The 1000 Datsuns are priced items. The Cedric is a cool car, we never sqw that one in the US ( or at least I never saw one, perhaps I was the only dork to miss it ) and those Cedrics are fixed up in Japan and priced items. You have a gold mine in that car. Fixing it up the japanese way and selling it there ...... I see $$$$$$

BTW, you do not have to sell it, I would not.
Your last car reminds me of a car I recall from the 80's, the Mitsubishi Sapporo.

Cheers !!!
