by 1200wag on 2009/2/2 9:28:57 I have to say that based on my experience I agree totally with DAT12T. I love all datsuns but have you ever seen a nice original 1600? I don't think they exist anymore. As a project prospect they're very hard to find in complete original condition. Let those guys have their 1600s, leave us the mighty 12s
Yeah - I have to agree here, I haven't seen a nice stock 1600 on the road in ages. I still see plenty of 1200s around (mostly utes). I love all datsuns, not just 1200s, but I must admit that if I was looking at buying a 1600 I would actually buy an old BMW!! You can get them for chicken feed and Datsun just copied the BMW 2002 with the 1600. The BMW 2.0L M10 engines are tough as nails, put out 125hp stock and can take a turbo with no dramas due to forged internals. The turbo 1.3L version of the M10 made 1500hp in F1... don't think the old L-series (as much as I love them!) can match that kind of track record!
No one tells you to put a CA / SR or rotary into your classic BMW
