It will be NA for now, but I already have a t76 etup sitting on the shelf waiting to go on. Since the pics, I have fabbed the engine mounts and am currently working on the transmission mount and tunnel. Here is the short list of what I am doing.

Sideported 20b w/ITB's
S13 front suspension and brakes
Rear drop leafs
Aluminium radiator w/Zirgo 3000CFM fan(yes it will fit)
Motec M4
OS twin plate
FC tranny w/modified FD tailshaft housing(moves the shifter forward about 6")
Wilwood pedal box
Driveshaft shop driveshaft(as soon as tranny is mounted I will measure and order)
Shortened Landcruiser live axle(waiting for one that is already done, if falls through, will have another shortened)
RCI 19 gal fuel cell
Walbro inline pump
Aeromotive fpr
1000cc injs (for now)
Mazda competion oilcooler
D200 dash display

This list will get longer when I add the turbo to the equation.

I know alot of people around here may not agree with the rotary, but I had it, so why not. Next motor will be a 13b with twin to4s', because I already have the manifolds and downpipes made up from my FD. This truck will never be done, because the day it is done, is the day I am bored and sell it, or better yet cut it up(really don't like people rolling around in "MY" car). Don't give up hope on me though, some day it may wind up with a nissan motor again. A guy wouldn't want to hand his son a car with to much power, you know.

that will be one mega-beast.
looks good mate, good luck staying alive.

Even Nissan put rotaries into Datsun 1200s:


Nissan Rotary

Love th 20B. Is it the english version with the 3 piece crank? Are they still doing it that way or not? I haven't read much about these in a long time.

Quote:

You will find that lots of manufacturers looked into the rotary craze in the late 1960's early 70's. Even the Holden Torana got fitted with a rotary when they did the GTR-X and the Hurricane. Most manufacturers also bought into the patent of the rotary but only Mazda have perfected it. (as long as you warm the mongrels up before you drive them)

Thats one mean mother of a 1200 ute you've got there mate, Have fun Keeping it in a straight line and good luck

Jake

dont forget the mazda roadpacer.
a crazy experiment with a kingswood and rotary.

This is the rotary torana aka 'the green lizzard'




I know Phunkdoktaspok, Its not a datsun but neither was the photo of the paddock full of your girlfriends

dont wake the beast , the thread will turn to a sh1t fight ,

will this ute be road regoed?

Rev pull your head in champ. Recently I never commented it is wrong to post non datsun related pics.I myself have done it in the past. I commented about the hypocrites that complain about it but still do it themselves. Just like the sheep that has commented after you to stir #### up.

Also Rev there is nothing wrong with linking pics like you have done.

Geez Phunk. You wouldn't be the first to suggest that I should pull my head in. But you know what? I won't. Because I actually thought that you may get a laugh out of the comment. Nothing that I say or write is laced with malice. Mabey sarcasm or cheek, but never malice.

Oh well, Nice tripple rotor job though. I have and always will have a soft spot for the old wankel though. The first time I heard of a tripple was in the early 90's when a dude from England took 3 crankshafts (eccentric shafts) and chopped them up the broached and splined them and joined them to make a tripple rotor. Apparrently it had the potential to punch out over 600HP. From memory it was a Periferal port.
