Bought this from Ebay a few weeks ago, nice and cheap, body is nice and dented and has bits of rust in the usual spots.
The engine as the title reads, its got a Z18 with some form of Nissan turbo running 10pounds. Has a rather large intercooler and some nice shiny piping to boot! Gearbox is pretty worn but it works and has a CIG locker, slotted rotors on the fron and pedders suspension in all corners.
Interior is standard apart from a few gauges and the seats which need replacing. But hey, it was cheap, goes well and apart from splitting a heater hose as soon as we got it home, everything is good ( touch wood)
Ok time for some pics!

Nice one dude!!
I was planing on driving that car from Sydney to Melbourne but didnt have the time..
He said it would of made it but from the sounds of it i dont think it would have..

Good luck

I saw this.. if you don't mind me asking how much did it sell for in the end?

Yeah it was the one from ebay, paid 1700 for it (wouldn't budge on the price)
It looks better in the photos than in real life cause you cant see half of the dents...
It would have made it to Melb if the heater hose didnt pop, Im just glad it did it in the driveway and not on the M4 in peak hour.

Plans are to use this as a run around while we finish my girl friends car, then who knows, fixing the body is a must (maybe matt black) and a nice set of wheels, and there is the L20B block and Z24 crank i have stored away... Could be interesting

Yes, I may have been the one lucky enough to drive it back. Maybe it's best I didn't.

I still say get your wagon going at some point, but this should be fun for a bit. The body did look good in the pictures, is it as bad as mine was? Mine looked fine if you took the picture from far enough back too!

Slight update...

Tacho stopped working... or giving a some sort of negative reading
Been been slowly fixing rust spots and what not and trying to track down a good, but cheap, bootlid.

Definately black. I think both of my 200Bs look much better with them black. I've seen pictures of 200Bs the same colour with body-coloured surrounds and my personal preference is black.

Its been a while since I have updated, doing some rust and dent repairs at the moment(photos to come soon...
But the other week my girlfriend fell in love with an olive green 180B, so our Datsun collection has now grown. Its has the original vinyl roof and "Nissan-matic." This car is the cleanest Datsun I have seen with no rust anywhere apart from a tiny little dot on the passenger rear door, it has a few little dings from where the old lady touch parked, but this will be fixed.

Nice find. Looks really tidy in the pics you got. Any plans or just a stocker?

Its going to stay original apart from putting an elec dizzy onto it. It is just too nice to modify. It has no rattles or squeaks. It is like a new car still
