The Datsun Owners Syndrome looks like it has infected quite alot of us. Whether its short on cash, loss of time, too much work or just plain old lazy, we all have one thing in common, we all have that vision of how good our datto's will be after all the work!! And we all admit it, we love working on datsuns as much as we love driving them!
Heya AFRacer didnt relize you were the same guy!! Yeah the black coupe i had was killed in a nasty accident a few years back which saw it wraped around a pole - not a fun time! After that i moved states and bought my current 1200. I drove it around for a year in stock trim then decided to give it a re-birth. She's still in the womb if u know what i mean!! This ones had another A15 swap but with at least 150hp, 5 speed box, borg warner LSD diff with disc brake rears, 10' front brakes with toyota 4 spots, lowered 2" all around, all new koni shox, new brake lines, master cylinder and an Ford Escort drop tank. The paint was starting to show some ugly spots so gave it a rub back and slapped grey primer on it as well as matt white underneath the car. It looks clean as and very tough!! Interior is basically stock with exception of old recaros, sports wheel and seperate fuel and temp gauges were the cigi lighter and choke used to sit. Just need to strap in the drop tank and its off to get some engineers report and rego.
Thats about it!! Except i've owned a XD Falcon S pak, VC Commodore for daily drivers and just bought a Datsun Stanza last week for $200 which im currently thinking up plans to make it a rally Stanza!! Gotta love that Datsun Syndrome!!!
