New Zealand Datsun Club

Picked this up a couple months ago - has been a great buy so far - cheap to run and reliable so far.

Is pretty different (ugly) but i like it - DJZ has some standard R30 rectangle headlights etc for it as the grill is broken and i dont like the Quad rounds. Looks pretty funny in the engine bay but its all factory - could easy do a LD28 conversion thou and give it some more grunt - Would increase HP from 67 (less than an a12) to 91 or could try a turbo on there.

Has already done a mission to Masterton and back with a car trailer on and my mission today to Greymouth and back.

Going to throw some wheels on it and a bit of low (johns XR4's only for show).

So far i have change the dif gearbox and engine oil and filter - and had to replace the clutch master and slave cylinders aswell as replace the rear shoes and cylinders.

Needs a couple things for a WOF which ran out today so hopefully can get that done for Akaroa.

lol looks like you are a total datsun fiend

That thing looks lonely in there. DO the LD28TTT...

Ok so thanks to DJZ and his friend for the parts - it now has a better looking front

And i might have to do what that sticker says

I never knew they came diesel what a weapon

Yes - finally LD28 Power - came out of a VB commy i picked up from Burnham - runs well gearbox jammed in gear but i have another one - plan is to swap out motor and box once the 120y is going again over Xmas hopefully.

This will increase HP by 50% or 32hp haha and loads more "talks" and im looking for l20et exhaust manifolds for more fun later on.













Time for uprated springs and shocks in the back me thinks - still gets to 80kph ok with this trailer and commy lump on the back. LD28 will mean i can push 90 haha

Also different wheels on back for towing (commercial tyres) so i dont get a blow out.

Diesels Love turbos , i have always wanted an LD28 powerplant

a t25 would be perfect for an LD28

I should have an L20ET manifold spare, just need to check that the other 2 seater definitely still has one on it.

I'll have to line u up for a drag

Be awesome to double diesel at the drags one day haha

Heres how i roll atm - im all for the small wheel huge tyre look?? especially diesel - standard is meant to be 185/70r14 but thanks to the commodore i got a sweet set of 205/70r14.

Even with the huge tyres the speedo is still reading fast so ill have to change that.
