Moderators PB260Z Posted March 6, 2015 Moderators Posted March 6, 2015 Hmmm, the seller describes it as "unique" Not going to argue wth that Quote
gilltech Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Well spotted, Chris240. "Ram air induction" Take a look at a '69/70 Mustang with Ram Air hood buddy, then back at your car. If your car has Ram Air then so has everything that has a frying pan as an air cleaner! Not even to SSS specs..... Too bizarre. Quote
zzzzed Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 The owner used to frequent the datsun1200.com. He is a rather colourful chap. I think they banned him for being a douche. He has actually toned the car down a bit since I saw it last. I remember he used mr sheen for polish. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted March 6, 2015 Administrators Posted March 6, 2015 I kinda like it, minus the seats, sunroof, rear wing, air filter. The paint job is actually kind cool. Just put a set of JDM style wheels on it and lower it and bob's your tea pot. Quote
sydney mike Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Thank Christ it's not a Zed! Having owned many, and a soft spot for the humble 120Y myself it breaks my heart to see one like this. Quote
Linton Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I remember he used mr sheen for polish. I have used this on my m\cycles for years lots of plastic, it's a great little product , very under rated Quote
chris240 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 That air cleaner is truly magnificent... Quote
dat2kman Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 They should have made them a bit like this one. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted March 6, 2015 Administrators Posted March 6, 2015 Or more like this... 1973 Datsun Sunny Excellent 1400GX Coupe. I prefer the look of the rear lights etc... Too many interesting "Datsun's" but not enough garage space. Quote
gilltech Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 It's mainly the 'Ram Air Induction' that gets me! (As a Mustang owner). With the air cleaner nozzle aimed right at the corner of the radiator.....ram air from where exactly... Hmmm... Now if he had a pair of side-draught twin-choke 40mm Dell'Orto carbys with 240Z-style air cleaner like my old '76 120Y SSS (one of a limited # NZ-built-new for race series homologation) then I'd take notice. But who knows what is hiding under that orange frying pan. Oh well, to each his own, he's had fun with it, those little Dattos are great little cars for their day, no doubt someone will buy it eventually & also have fun. Not many still on the road today so at least it's being preserved! Quote
