hey guys im from dunedin thought id put sum pics up of my datsuns

the wagon is my daily its had the a15 upgrade,the car was found half bare
metal and missing quite a few parts in a guys backyard in central so i bought it,
and put it
back on the road after a
cheap matte black paint job. the first pic is when i picked it up sorry
its at night.

the sedans been to hell and back i upgraded to z18et but just kept having problems
its in the process of being put back to original but as it sits mods are as followed
cobra springs,monroe gas iserts front and back,non turbo r31 front struts and brakes
full nolathane bush kit and i used to work for a vinyl and leather restoration company
called fibrenew so the entire interior has been dyed black instead of that crap beige color
hope you enjoy cheers

Thanks for sharing the pics!
Many folk might say smaller wheels suit the little datto's better. Build it your way though.......

yeah the bigger wheels were really for when it had the z18 in it
but i am putting it back to standard and the only thing i dont have
is standard struts as they were part hacked when making the r31 ones
and i want to run 13" wheels and they wont clear the r31 brakes,my friend
who has a b210 coupe has upgraded his to b310 brake/strut combo,and ive
read that canadian b310 plus some others came out with b210 strut setup from
factory and as i understand it i can run his old setup the one with the smaller diameter
strut tubes by changing to b210 lca's radius rods steering knuckles and balljoints but
this also narrows the car slightly but i figure i could use wheel spacers to combat that.
my mate said i could have the b210 stuff pretty cheap as he no longer has a use for
it any thoughts or ideas the main thing im trying to avoid is certification and the only
thing it needs cert for atm is the r31 struts
