Hi, The car has a hot L28 with triple 40mm webers / extractors. I'm currently working on getting the rwc sorted and have had to fix rust in the battery box area. My plans are to: lower a little New shocks make an airbox for the webers change wheels due to the front rims limiting tire size due to offset ( tire almost touching strut with a 195 tire) clean up interior rust proof the car I've added thermo fans as it overheats in traffic ( country car so they weren't needed) long term goal will be full strip and repair all rust and repaint. I'll be chasing a few parts soon to help finish it off. regards Andrew

yep only in Japan...

Hi, I've played with Gemini's , 180b's, 1600's, 1200's, I loved the fact that a Datsun 4 cylinder car could exchange parts with so many other models. I sold my 1200 wagon daily driver ( L20b, 5pd dogleg, ute diff ) about 1 year ago ( scored a BA Ghia that has been in the family since new as a daily car) and I have been wondering what to get next. I had a short list of a new daily driver or something a bit special to play with on weekends ( RA28 / z260 2+2 or a 1600) after about 6 months looking I called up a guy about a strange add on Gumtree selling parts and I ended up buying a complete car. I've been reading this forum for about 6 months quietly and thought it was about time I joined regards Andrew - (Eggy)

Hi long time reader but this will be my first post. I've just finished grappling with the same question. I sold my 1200 wagon daily and considered a 1600 / early celica / 260 2+2 realistically I need to be able to carry my family of 4 so a 2 seater limits the use of the car. For me it came down to wanting a drivers car: base suspension - sports car / standard car (240/260z is a factory sports car) steering box / rack IRS / fixed axle (Celica) 1600 requires engineering to get to a level that I want ( in Vic) similar to what I had done to the 1200 Having now driven a 260z I am vary happy with the base car that I will now finesse. I've spent 6 months looking for a 2+2 and have finally just purchased a 2+2 about 2 weeks a go
