Last weekend i got the 1969 model Datsun 1600 home that i bought off Ryan (sweet_stanza).
It's my first 1600 that has had potential as a roadcar, which is what it is going to be restored as.





Engine/Drivetrain
-L20b (mildy ported head aswell as some engine work)
-Extractors
-5speed 180b SSS longbox with modified tailshaft
-Open diff
-2.25" exhaust
-Single 40mm DCOE Weber on Lynx crossflow manifold





Suspension/Brakes
-240k struts
-Stanza? Brake master cylinder/booster
-R31 rear disc brakes
-Lowered kingsprings all around
-Front whiteline sway bar (thanks to "MYDATO")



First of all i am going to get the engine running and then pull it out.
The car will be sanded back and all un-needed holes will be welded up.
I plan on getting it painted a bright blue colour.
It came with everything needed to convert it to R31 disc brakes so i will have a go at that.
I bought a 40mm weber on lynx manifold and this will be jetted to suit the engine.
I bought some new wheels off it from "Uncle".
This will definitely be a long term project as i dont really get alot of time to spend on it.

Thanks for reading

Just wondering about my brake booster. Not a real big fan of the stanza master cylinder, just wondering if I can change it to a 7/8 tandem master cylinder, or for that would I need a 180b small can booster ? (I want it to look neater) if so how much should I be prepared on spending on one of those boosters (secondhand)? Cheers

Yep you will need a 180B small booster. As to what size master, really depends on what brake setup you are looking at. ???

If you are going to use that brake setup a sock 180B master (with rear circuit residule vavle remove) and a 180B sball can booster will be perfect. The setup in the pic look to either a Stanza master and booster or 120Y hardware. It will work fine for your chosen brake setup as well.

same setup as me and i run a 7/8 master. my only gripe is the balance is not as goog as i would like as the rear's come on abit soon but nothing to bad

Thanks for the info guys also whilst on this topic, where is the hose output on the booster meant to lead to?

There should be a fitting in your inlet manifold for it mate.
