Flauski Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 That factory looking colour is just plain awesome. I'm sure it is this car I saw going the other way on Hutt Motorway after the Hutt riverbank hardpark a couple of months back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flauski Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Pulled a neck muscle snapping a perv, it certainly stands out! Well done. Plans? A15 big block with sidies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be good to come to some of your guys events and get involved... Haha, she stands out alright! Plans - a12, possibly bored out, cam, twin 40 dellortos, a15 head with bigger valves... something that goes quicker than a standard motor anyway ... need to do some more research into options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geophy Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Saw this in Vegas today you really have to see it in real life to appreciate it. Nice work 120 why 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 My 2 cents: I don't like the black petrol flap. It stands out but not in a good way. The sunvisor is pretty cool but it really clashes with the current style of the rest of the car (chin spoiler, aggressive modern wheels etc). Maybe try painting the visor black? I say a 120Y in Australia with a black visor which actually looked pretty good. Otherwise this is an awesome car! Great job so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
120why Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yeah the flap was one of those silly ideas, ill get the green one back on!Yeah thats the issue, was going to paint it black tomorrow and see how it looks plus the roof racks but it may be too much. Might need standard datsun flying sourcer hubcaps to pull the visor off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsta01 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hey mate loving then build, sweet car and im a datsun man myself, as far as carb tuning goes i would say if you can get some cheap or free try a slightly richer emulsion tube even a .14 may solve your problem but if not try a.5 and see what works 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldsack.yeh Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 i think the visor sticks up way to high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
