Long time reader, first time poster... I feel so special. About 2 weeks ago I bought my second ever Datsun. My first was a 180b which was my first car when I was 16. A couple have come and gone since then. My last car was a twin turbo 300ZX, which has made way for this new puppy. The 300ZX is still up for sale as well, so if you know anyone that's interested, PM me and I'll forward on some details! I'm downsizing for a couple of reasons. One of those is money (the most important)

It's a 79, mostly original and in great shape.

New paint I think (if not, outstanding for the age!)
Has had a front disc conversion (i think, didn't these come out with 4 drums?)
Standard engine (carby needs a tune, mostly because of the cold weather)
Full exhaust inc 4into1 extractors, and the twin tips dumping out to the side
New struts on all corners
Tray cover of course
I also have all the recepts since the orginal sale of the car (the orginal owner loved this thing, paid $5000 brand new back in its day)


Plans?
I'd like to get some old school grunt out of this baby, lumpier cam, dual carbie setup etc.
Maybe later next year, move onto a fuel injected turbo setup, I'm already missing the speed (300zx)

Name is Steve by the way, I live in Canberra, and would love any advice I can get, very keen to learn about these bad boys.

Of course we all know that pictures can say a thousand words... so...
