New Zealand Datsun Club

Hello Guys

After being asked to join the site and share some pictures and details about my baby.

Bit of background information. This car has been sitting in a shed for the last 10 years rego currently on hold. 83kms on the clock not sure if its been round though. To many empty gaps to be sure.

Powered by the almight l20e. Auto trans helping along this powerpack of motivation.

Plans are to restore it and make a few enhancements to it along the way.

As you will be able to tell theres rust in the rear arche's not terribly bad this is repairable. Around the windows has surface rust nothing terrible. The bonnets pretty much a write off. Come rust in sills and doors. Engine bay neeeds alot of love with a soda blaster.

Plans are simple get the body work done remove all the rust properly replace things like front and rear bumpers etc. Source new tails light assembly or copy the existing one.

May be a grill modification not sure yet.

Set of wheels which I'm designing at the moment. Simple flares front and rear and a set of adjustables to help it keep on the road.

Oh and possible drop a vg30dett into it but thats in the future.

Sorry for the poor pictures will get better ones when i get this back home

Hello Yes am going to do my own they need work I'm playing with Ideas at the moment theres finelines between getting the style you want still having the strength and being able to machine them.

It looks like I may have to do these as a sand cast mold and then cast them as i dont think billet wheels will hold up the structural strength is pretty low.

cool car man and nice wheels. am i right in guessing this is a coupe?

Yeah its a coupe electric windows and all shame some moneky removed the airon .
Coolest stereo system I've ever seen out of a factory its al over the place
Dash even has factory boost gauge etc I think they all had that of this year as this is a gt-es which was never turbo

Do you have a long term completion date?

Our really big cruise is in Oct if that helps to give you a goal to shoot for?

Well I dont see why I cant have it done by then it gives me nearly 6 months think I'll leave the l20e in there and see how it goes.

love this car, rare as!!!

Please please put up some better pics, of the whole car.
