I understand the SR impressive performance. But nowadays, ( not demeaning the SR at all) every Datsun meet I go there has to be a fleet of 510 Datsuns with SR20s in them.

Aside from the performance , which is proven , no need to corroborate it , I get nothing special from looking at it. I am more impressed with a A series or L series modified engine. Yes, the SR is an impresive engine, but is has become a daily thing to see.
I lumpy idling roaring sidedraftcrazy cammed A or L series brings that special smile I do not get from the SR.

yeah dodgeman it is fake look around the edge of the rustyt one you can she the different shading

You're messin with us, ... right? That's gotta be a Photoshop job. Same background, same wheels, right down to the lettering on the tyres in the same place, & I could have sworn that the black racer is a two door.

I just learned the history of this car ... no wonder it is so fast:

I had a pulsar gti/r 4wd with everything upgraded and won dyno comps with it against the wrx's.
But the ca dato scares the shi@ out of me more and more everytime i drive it.

I have driven a lot of "fast cars" I have a HSV GTS VS with 200rwkw, its pretty fast but I just finished a non turbo sr20 conversion into the 1200 and it is a scary thing to drive.

I used to be into bikes.... Last one was a 1000cc sportsbike (FZR 1000).

Cost me $12K & used to run a 10 sec. 1/4 mile.
I never found a street car that could beat it.... GTR Skylines, Porches, WRX's...... everything.

Then I had an impromptu flying lessing over the bonnett of a 17 yr old's corolla.... Needless to say the missus put her foot down - No More Bikes .

The ONLY vehicle that I've found since then that's given that same "Holy $hit" feeling was a CA18det powered 1200 coupe belonging to an aquaintance.
I basically started my ute project straight after this experience...... Not long now

Like Matty says..... 600kg + CA18det = Fun

i remember my first ride in a sr20det 1600. was in cam mckinnon's cm510 and we met up at his work in the city for a blast around the traffic. i felt so stupid because i couldn't wipe this stupid grin off my face!!!

anything since that has claimed its been fast is usually just a dissappointment.

datsuns with nissan turbo twin cam motors are such a cheap and fast combo!

i bet the FJ is still going long after the SR has given up the ghost

that's gotta be the ultimate 510
