at last started to do some more to the datto
the gearbox,clutch, and diff are all back in.
have also aquired a golf mk1 chin spoiler (brand new) needs a little triming to fit tight.


and american rear triple tail-lights, so much thanks to david stone (in ca.) who sourced them
and sent them to me, will be painted satin black.


will hopefully have car off stands and ready for pits in the next week.

Didnt end up lightening the flywheel as i am going to use an fj20 and box.
chasing one now that the mechanic that does my ipra silvia built for
a racecar, hopefully the guy will sell as its not being used. Start looking for
those lights now as they are getting rare, i was really lucky that i posted "wanted" on lots
of datsun/car forums and david stone happened to answer me (he is a legend amoung men for helping).

Epic car mate, love the US rear lights. Are you gonna change the colour of the indicators? or will the Pits in WA let you get away with how it is. I've heard about how easy it is to register stuff over there

i will get it over the pits with original lights first, then fit and drive around till i get/if i get yellowed, might try a yellow bulb .lol (dont think thats going to work but hey, might aswell try).

You might be able to get orange lenses from the jap tail lights, If you can find em that is

Meanwhile, if no Orange indicator lense set is available,you can always install temporarily ( for compliance ) two small indicators affixed to the bumper. Once passed the inspection, get rid of them.

I did that on a Datsun which back up lights did not work ( back up switch burnt ). Used a clear spot lamp operated by toggle switch.

Haha that wouldnt pass rego down in Vic, not sure about WA.
did you end up getting that dash off ebay nisman? went way to high for my liking

Thats a interesting idea for the indicators i made reflectors for my 180b rear bar were there was holes from factory but it seems your sss bumper doesnt have them or i would suggest mount them to those holes and try to make look them factory with a custom lens or narva ones with mounting blocks.

anyway will take to autoelecy to fit, hope it works.
Got all these parts, i need to pull my finger out and fit them all.
