New Zealand Datsun Club

The sunny now has a recaro drivers seat, hidden under the original retro car seat covers. Gifted by a friend, also an alarm installed that I found new for $20 on trade me. And is booked in for a panel & paint job later this year

Nice work Justin!

Painted the wheels up today and gave them a polish.

Got rid of a nasty rattle from my stainless air filter work, just needed a little tension through it.

Hi all, Its been awhile since I've updated the Datsun post. Truth is... The car is going to a new owner today, fingers crossed.
We found a buyer that wants to use her as a permanent race car. You may see the vehicle around on the track at Hampton downs or Taupo I guess. The build has been great fun and very rewarding. I managed to build the engine to double the horse power, also doubled the cost of the car (even doing 75% of the work myself...) The down side we don't like to discuss is always the cost of the build & the running cost, using 98 fuel due to high compression etc. Time for someone else to enjoy the car while I travel to work in more comfort & for cheaper (not to mention safer...) Of course if I had more garage space and no mortgage i'd likely keep it? however she is due for a paint job & is really only suitable for a track car now (Building a Datsun Sunny to do 200 kph plus was the plan) achieved now. Cheers for following.

thanks for sharing ,hope to see you back with another Datsun at some stage

Hi all in the Datsun club. I am the proud new owner of Justin's Hamilton b310 sunny project. I wanted a car suitable for club/track days, and boy does this fit the bill. Have caught up with Justin since and showed him the progress to convert it to a dedicated track car. Nice guy and clued up! I will post pictures when I get to grips with this PC tech stuff! Car has had radiator re-cored and mounted on 50mm ally box section to move it back so the fan is totally within the shroud. Really sucks now! Fitted a Micro Dynamics DRL 1 rev limiter ($190 ex Merlin Motorsports U.K) with soft cut out, works great and a no brainer considering all the care and work Justin put into the engine. Have a Rollcentre lap timer to fit so there can be no lying about lap times! Car is currently getting its Autosport race seat with 5 point harness fitted. Then new brake fluid and we're out there. Oh, also removed the 22 Kg tow bar assembly....Cheers Rob Evans, Whitianga.

Congrats on your purchase!
