Nissan somethingsomething

Mitsuoka Galue, based off of the Nissan Crew which is basically a Japanese taxicar.

Hey man, long time no see.

I think your biggest issue is available space. 

I would cut out those resonators, use that space to collect back into a single earlier, try squeeze a proper muffler into the centre. Alternatively run a two in single out at around the same place.

Your biggest issue would then be the rear muffler.  If you're down to 2.5 you'll have more space, maybe send it to the opposite side it is now, put an additional muffler in then have the final muffler have a decent length of pipe afterwards. 

I'm in a similar situation with MC22s.  Nothing for ages then just after I dumped way too much money on something else, 4 are now on for prices that I could have got them had the other nonsense not occurred. 

Oh well. 

Enough blue smoke coming from those Toyotas you'd think it was Mitsi Fest. 

Oh wow. 

I don't know why I expected something not British but hey.. 

A blardy Jag. 

You're a lost cause you are!

the original oldschool logo car

Nope. 

That's an RX4. 

Looks like something that would give @Dolan and @M.H. a wee chubb.

Injected but no fly by wire so no cruise control. Budget motoring really. 

Wat. 

You don't need fly by wire for cruise control. 

However, March's do not have cruise control. 

Everyone seems to be using kilmat now?  I think it's basically the same as dynamat without the large pricetag

Good call but the mount section of the mirror has a very round fender to mould to. Probs not as tall as the D21.. 

That makes me wonder whether they're from something far later like a Nissan Crew taxi or Y31 Cedric/Gloria taxi. 

I say taxi because they still use them as Taxi's today in Japan so they're late as fook but some still roll fender mirrors. 

Yussssss. Do it. 

Good efforts Rojeer. 

The Y30 had covers on the holes but I discovered when I took the guard liner off that it used to have mirrors installed in the past because the old spring bases were still there and dropped out... Hahah. 

That's a meaty base. 

After seeing @scootersfender mirror conundrum I remembered that I had C31 Laurel fender mirrors that I used to use on the C110, I won't be using them for that anymore so I thought I'd try them on the Gloria.

Angles are a bit off but not too bad. 

They'd be an OK one to look out for, for you as well, @scooters

They have a bit of a Datsun ute (D21) look about them. 

The stalks seem too tall and upright and the mirror itself too large.  

What are they from? 

Be easier to just fix that one. 

Yeah, the Be-1 is awesome. Basically a March that looks cooler. 

Z home is brought to you by Carl Beck.  Carl Beck is a renowned for "everything was built for America" character. He purports that the Z was built for the American market, makes all kinds of wild statements about L-series design being for America and starting with a 4cylinder.

He "translates" things toward his own bias. 

Not a valid source of information. 

Even with that said, stating "using a Mercedes OHC design" is akin to saying "using a in line 6 OHC design" and does not directly translate to a copy of a Mercedes engine unless you want it to.

It's fairly safe to say that if Nissan had copied the Mercedes engine there would have been a stack of court cases.  There are none. 

So either it's a different design or Mercedes was happy for someone else to use their tech... 

That's pretty likely.. 

It's from a game called "Among Us" where you play as little spacemen in a group but one person is a murderer and has to kill the others whilst they're trying to do tasks to escape, then lie and deceive so they're not caught. 

I've not played it, just seen it on the youtubes..
