Duddley Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I've always had a soft spot for those and that looks like a cracker! Couldn't agree more with your plans to subtly make it choice. Can't wait to see it dropped a wee bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMcDazzle Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 That's so cool man, love that shape. How much did you pay if u don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Good to see another, this is one I've been tidying up for the missus. Ride well when lowered. Pretty hilarious drive! Only shit part is the rust on bumpers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z18et1200coupe Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Cheers fellas. Paid 4500 for it. Seems a solid investment to me. I've never seen another one for sale like this so I'm not too sure of what its worth. But 4500 seems aight! Mr.Mk1 yours looks awesome! How much did you lower it? and where did you find springs for the front? Did you find some roaster ones or just give the factory ones a wee chop chop? Looks rad on the white walls!

Mr.Mk1 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 2in blocks in back and about 2.5in cut from front. Bumpstops had a haircut. A-arm setup so that spring ain't falling out! These wee things were electro dipped so don't tend to rust (why didn't datsun keep this recipe!) and has not had any repairs also, but been re sprayed about 15yrs ago. Faded in sun and stained in wet so painted it the other week, just to save polishing the damn thing! I know of a few pretty tired ones in a paddock, along with a wagon that we will get this year so if you need bits, make a list. Was this the one on trademe with gay wheels?

Sparkle Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Awesome! look forward to seeing it take shape. Theres a one of similar vintage in palmy that an old fella pilots. Has a stencil of the bluebird chips penguin underneath the bluebird badge. Rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z18et1200coupe Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Nice. I'll probably buy some roadster competition springs from US and see how they sit, might cut a loop or two off them depending on how low they sit. I just dont want to butcher the original ones.Aaaaah. I was wondering how this thing could have so little rust. Wicked thanks man! there might be a few little bits I need. And yeah, was on trademe with the mega gay wheels. Old dudes rip.

Mr.Mk1 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Also not a bright gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Got the wheels on Bluey and dropped er' down a wee bit. Might have taken a wee bit too much off the front springs, is pretty much on the bump stops. And just under 100mm clearance, but aaah! The Po-po should love it anyway! Back height could go a little lower, for the meantime I've just got a few 25L containers in the boot to drop it down a little.. A few piccys. Hope their not too big. Nice bosozoku pipe you have there on a serious note, I like this allot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmatedan Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Man yellow headlamps would look cool as!!!! Just my opinion Very cool man don't EVER see these on the road!!! Imagine a time machine......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Lol at selling and buying another the same. I put an A series in wife's 410 when the E1 got tired, lots of work involved and they mount entirely different. Plus the hydro clutch vs A cable is a bit of a hiccup. But yes we've flown through a few warrants now with no worries. They know it's not factory but it won't fall out on the road and it's hardly a powerhouse!
