Who currently owns the Fastest Datsun 1600 in NZ?

Post by DAT-SIK »

Would any care to know or speculate who currently has fastest Datsun 1600 street-car in NZ at the moment?
Fastest E/T - Most Horsepower etc?

Just really curious more than anything..
I'm pretty sure there must be some big horsepower 1600's parked up in a shed somewhere in NZ.

If you think this may be you feel free to post the details of your car up so we can see where the benchmark is currently.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for NZDATSUN to even hold a trophy for it. Maybe even for all the major models.
(I'm obviously basing it on the assumption they may some already"
A fweeks I'll go first and put mine up there.

I'm not encouraging the boasting of Ego's but just for general fact it would be quite interesting to know.

I'm keen to see what comes out of the woodwork on this?
Mine will be going for a tune on the dyno in the next week so.. so I'll post some photos and figures up to get things kicked off!

This goes for really anybody with a Datsun pushing out decent numbers. We are all keen to have a look at what you've got!
Some of us probably more than others... but that's ok.

I'm not fortunate enough to be based in the South Island but I can bet my bottom dollar there's probably some weapons down there!

:-)

Apologies if I seem a bit outspoken.
Just trying to keep it interesting?

And on that note:
Interesting FJ20-ET Fact for the day...
In the late 80's there was a performance part manufacturer in Japan that sold a direct aftermarket bolt on twin turbo kit for the FJ-20 engine which consisted of 2 x TD05 turbochargers mated up to a custom twin turbo tubular manifold.

Apparently it was never a big seller.. but it definitely looked interesting none-the-less.
I wonder what it went like?

Anyone care to shed some light on this interesting design?

Cheers

Gerrit

Hey Gerrit,

Create a build thread of your car. I wanna see what you are running with, in detail.
What sort of numbers are you hoping to produce?
I have also wondered this. So interested to see whats out there as well

Cheers

I'm pretty sure Gaz's 510 is making 440hp. (FJ20turbo)

Dan's 510 would have to be over 300. (Well it should be once he gets it tuned)

To be fair, you can't race a dyno.
My 1200 only made 124, but it suprised a few people on the 1/4 mile. And on the street too.
