Jordans 120y

[ginga-dato]

Hey guys,
I've owned this for a couple of years and have been slowly doing things to it. Finally put my rims on that iv had sitting in my garage for a couple months. A bit of an upgrade from the steelies. They are konig rewinds 15x7 and im running 185/55's on them. Shes looking a bit more tough now and gets alot more looks from people. So far I have lowered it 2 inches with blocks and springs, put in a couple guages, new steering wheel, sounds, 2 inch exhaust with a 3 and a half inch tip. Bought a worked A14. Heres the list of whats been done to it:
Block: A14
1.00mm oversize high comp / flat top pistons (77mm stroke 77mm bore)
Lightened & balanced crank with modified oil galleries
Lightweight lifters
Lightweight flywheel ( includes balanced heavy duty clutch assembly )
Fast road camshaft (3000 to 8000rpm range)
ARP rod bolts
Heavy-duty timing chain
Adjustable cam gear (kameari engine works Japan)
Whole rotating assembly fully balanced
New oil pump etc
Also has a Custom winged sump
Cylinder head: H89 ( High Compression A15 Head )
Ported intake & exhaust ( ports have been matched to gasket and ported for flow rather than size )
3 angle valve seats
Up rated valve springs
Planed for compression
Polished exhaust ports and combustion cambers
Ignition:
BPR7IEX NGK PLUGS
PETRONIX ELECTRONIC DIZZY
8MM TOPGUN LEADS
GT40 COIL
SET OF EXTRACTORS/ FLOWS

Just picked her up from the mechanics who has put on a set of 40mm twin dellorto carbs on. Took a couple of pics to show everyone
Next is going to be the panel work. I'm an apprentice panel beater so what better car to learn on then my own.

[ginga-dato]

Na i cant. Forgot to take time off work. She's had a couple mechanical problems recently and i dont know how it would go on long drives either

[dirtyleppa]

wouldnt worry too much about that. there are more than enough helping hands to get you back, and i always carry tools and a tow rope, just in case

Orange FTW!

I LOVE that factory orange on the 120Y as well as the factory minty green.

PLEASE don't repaint it any other colour

Awesome starting point.

and when you get the colour you must get the dull burnt orange look haha - its your car thou - just keep up the good work thu - love the glovebox compartment idea.

only took 5 minutes to cut out some wood for the glove box compartment. im thinking of a metallic burnt orange when it goes for a respray

I vote original colour....just my 2c worth.

I never used to think there were many orange cars, but now I've seen quite a few Datsuns in orange. Cool.

This is a cool looking car, is it still around? I love the wheels they really suit it.
