You know what I love about the B210's, the aerodynamics! look at those sexy aerodynamics yeah baby

Seriously they're something else aren't they. A friend said to me after going for a ride in my sedan "Man that car is an optical illusion, it looks big and mean from the outside but when you're in there it's like claustraphobia"

I quite like being able to reach any window I want in my car, not needing aircon cos the air comes in when the windows are down, the sound a nicely tuned A series makes, they're just great

Just thought of a quote to use

Datsun - Fun On Tap

Haha scared me for min. I thought it was a pic of my b210. I love the flatblack that what i did to mine only mine is red from the sculpture line up.
I love this car and am building mine up for a vg30 v6 swap i just cant decide on what kind of rear to go with. The b210's are kind of rare here in my area and i get respect and questions and compliments from all the old timers i come across.
Older people let me out into traffic and make space for me to switch lanes and every thing its kinda sweet.

I have the same problem with B210 windowless Panel Vans. Most people say they have never seen one or that none were made. I have 3 of them. I sure would love to know how many of them have come into Australia???

As if those US&A spec bumpers could save you from a pissed redneck in his twincab C30 Chev truck. A B210 would be more like a speed bump or a wheel chok. YEE HAR

I love the B210, just got a GX recently. I have owned 8 Zs(5 240s, 2 280s and a ZX), 2 521s, 1 65' unibody truck, and a 1200 coupe. The B210 GX is one of my favorites yet. The car handles great, has good Hp, 5-speed, great fuel economy, disc in the front. Its like the utilitarian Z, still has the smooth lines of the fastback/coupe. I think all US B210s need bumper revision. Safety standards totally destroyed the classic Datsun style( isn't there a thread about the specifics to propery convert?)Don't get me wrong, I love my 1200, but I carry my double bass in the B210.

I personally don't love the 210's in there stock form (and I just don't like the 4 doors at all), but I have seen some absolutely awesome dun up ones and I love the PB210's. Regardless they are Datsun so they have my love...

I've never heard such an outrage. Somebody not liking the B210 aka 120Y. Next thing you know somebody will be saying that 4'n'20 pies and vegemite aren't Australian made anymore...

The 120Y although not my most favorite car, it is my weapon of choice. Severely underestimated. Granny's and grandpa's the world over have know this for years. I love the VB210 panelvans. Very thin on the ground so it's not like the population of 1200 utes, coupes, 510 sedans etc that you see on an almost daily basis. (not so much any more)

The 'turd' has a nice look to it. What you need is a set of Aussie bumpers to top it off.
