About time I put up some info of my Sunny.
Its pretty much your run of the mill 1979 Datsun Sunny currently in Granny spec apart from...
Extractors
2" Exhaust
Electric Distributor
Quad Motor Bike Carbs
Custom air box
Interior is in great nick and every thing works on the car (beside fan switch - only works full speed) and the clock. Will fix them once I have the dash out.
No rust on body, original paint and wheels.
The carbs are Mikuni BS34's using manifolds/air box I made. Having a 34mm bore they have the same cross sectional area as the stock carb but more flow because they don't have all sorts of crap in the bore - plus there's four of them. Being CV of a function they perform great, have good response and are very street able.
My plans for the car now is to drive it till I blow it up some how. I did a vacuum test today and I got a steady needle but a little low on vacuum saying late ignition timing (however, ignition timing actually correct) meaning I'm low on compression I guess - rings are a bit tired. So once I'm ready I'll pull the motor and reco the gearbox Plus do a worked NA build.

I just love the ITB intake sound - despite somewhat muffled from the air filter and whizzing fan. The exhaust note is pretty good for a $50 muffler and the decel after the rev sounds cool.
