Hi All,

I'd like to introduce my new baby..... '77 200b Wagon, In complete original trim, right down to the cassette player, minimal rust, average paint :D .
This is my second 200b. My first road legal car was a '78 200b sedan that i promptly pranged and blew up... It cost me $700 to buy and got my license in it.
Long story short, after 15yrs i have decided that i needed a project to work on, and what better one than to get back to something i loved as a kid.

I have some lovely plans for the old girl being a weekend cruiser/Quarter mile hero on the odd week (Sportsman Wednesday at Kwinana), unfortunately my wife doesn't share these plans. Soooo... the build will be a long drawn out build, First step is already taken care of... Made room in the garage (Check).

Starting from the top the list goes...
1 Touch up the body work, and remove the small rust spots in the bottom of the doors.
2 Diff. R31 if i can get one.... and without weighing into the Diff debate im open to easier options.
3 Brakes/suspension (Haven't really decided yet, was thinking R31 brakes on 200b struts.)
4 SR20det conversion. This will be my first engine conversion, so kind of winging it for the most part..... I would love to hear from anyone that has done this before (Hints & Tips)
5 Fuel pickup. VL dunnydore (from what i read)
4 See what she will do down the local quarter....

I would love any help and info from others that have been here before, and look forward to chatting to you all.

Cheers
Thatoldat.

Some Pics....

Hi all. Some of you may remember me, most probably won't.

Long time Ozdat member who disappeared for a few years. Haven't replaced my 180 which some twat rear ended a few years ago yet, but am looking.

Currently diving a 99 c34 Stagea rs4s which is a bit of fun.

Hi, I am Rob from Brisbane. Just found Ozdat and it is a good source of info for me. We have 2 B310 Sunnys at the moment. One is a Coupe with fairly standard A15 and 4 speed. We restored this car for my son over a period of 4 years, going back to metal for the paint and rust repair. The other is a new addition . A sedan with a Z18 et engine and 5 speed transmission. A Stanza Borg Warner diff has also been fitted. Overall it is a good fit with no real destruction to the rest of the car. We purchased it without an exhaust system but otherwise running well. Will need a fair bit to get it to a registerable state but it should be a fun car for my son i hope. I will attach some photos when i work out how to.

Hey Guys,

Karl here from Christchurch NZ. I have a couple of interesting datsuns.

1. A 220c Diesel Sedan (Q330)
[ img ]

2. A 1962 Datsun Bluebird (P312)
[ img ]

The 220c is my daily driver and the Bluebird is a project, I am probably going to sell the bluebird if anyone needs a super rare early 60's datsun that has minimal rust and is ripe for restoration

Hey guys
Am 42 year old from Wa . Just bought my first 1600 project . Have always had a like for them and when this one popped up I bought it . It is licensed and used as a daily driver until 8 months ago ( still has original engine ) .It was repainted 7 years ago and has a few minor rust spots ( will post pics later). It looks clean and neat so I am going to leave the body and do it up mechanically first . I want to go old school L18 , twin webers , cam and extractors . I am also wanting to put datsport front end handling kit , strut and brake conversion and rear disc brake conversion . I need to find a decent L18 to start with and a place in Wa willing to do some engine building on it . Are they hard to do yourself ? I am mechanically minded but have never done a motor before . Thanks

Hi all

I'm Ben, from South Africa, a classic car and motorsport fan and new here.

Just bought a Stanza shell, to build a Works rally replica.
Although there are numerous Datsun cars that I like, this will be my first Datsun.
The plan is to enter it in local autocross/gymkhana events, and if it goes well do some regional rallying.

I'm hoping to gain some valuable Datsun knowledge through this forum.

Regards

Hi folks ! I was on here many moons ago but left when I sold the last 1600 I owned.

I'm Mel, live in Cairns North QLD and have owned 4 Datsun 1600s over the years. Pretty sure I bought the last one off here and sold the last 2 ! Very keen to find another now :)

this forum used to be pumping !! not so much now I guess as we're seeing less and less around :(

These are my previous rides
