New Zealand Datsun Club

Yuck Kitch!!!
But a going Datsun is a going datsun. At least it aint a 910!

Looking forward to seeing a NZ Y on some nice jap wheels!
What tires you got on your techno s ?

Crusty - no way I am selling that wheel - its one of my main reasons for buying it (for my 1200 coupe)

Yeah Chris - its a going Datsun as you say... and I had almost forgotten about the 910.... Bet Bart still recalls it sitting on his front lawn unloved....

some inspiration, of how even an ugly duckling can became a swan...

Get it as low as that black one on riversides and ill give you a hug or something like that. Maybe a beer

techno's are rolling 185/55/14 semi circuit tyres (very square looking on the rims)
7" rims on back, 6.5" on front.

May see if can find some cheap half worn 165/50's or something to stretch a little?

85_Z31, its not a keeper, will do the manual conversion and slammage, and maybe a bit of JDM fender mirror and chin spoiler treatment, then it will be for sale when the coupe is nearing completion - ie probably in 6 months or so.

Ring me in 6 months time, i might be able to convice the wife by then!

Just do what i do, buy it and deal with consequences later, long term gain for short term pain. They get over it pretty quick.

A reminder, Steve was the pioneer with this modification.

BRE shortening, I take it that is just putting a spacer pipe inside to stop the inner extending fully outward ah?

Yea he Was the pioneer for Ruthlessly Rangi Rangiora Engineering or TRIPLE RE ( Only use Rubber Hose ). Old Man Wildey and Sons gave BRE the idea of the Steel sleeve idea as Triple RE were getting to many Claims/ Warrantee Jobs due to Premature wear of the rubber.

Basically steel sleeve the go bro. haha

OK thats cool.
And I hear that 110 strut tops are the way to go, to lift the top nut up 1.5"
coupled wth low king springs or similiar again about 1.5" drop and with BRE upgrade. I should get 3" drop (captive/ aka legal)
for the cost of a pair of front springs then.

I have just ordered a few more sets of anodized bump steer spacers out of my supplier in the States.
