Hey all,

Just thought I would let you guys know and plead for your support in the Street Machine Magazine car of the year award that my brother in his Datsun 1600 has been nominated for.

We want to show all the street machine die hards that no matter what the car if you have done it right people will appreciate it, Aaron has copped alot of **** off the SM crew over the years with comments like, it will never be in this mag cause its missing 4 cylinders, and I believe on one occasion was told that No body likes Datsuns, so we really want to show them!!!

The most important thing is if he wins there will be a huge KEG party with all invited to piss up to the success that will be a huge thankyou to you guys and others for there support. I know theres some people on here that buy street machine and we would really appreciate the support.

So buy the mag rip out the voting slip and send her in.

Thanks all.

Daniel

:D

Absolutely gorgeous car mate, the amount of time and money in that is incredible. The biggest lure for me personally with SM is the level of detail and the engineering in their vehicles, it's really really good to see that people aren't afraid to apply that same level of attention to detail on vehicles that don't fit the "usual" SM mould.

Me = voting for that :laugh:

Thanks guys really appreciate the effort, we have some really stiff competition, especailly considering some of the other cars fit the Sm mould alot better than the Datto.

Thanks again guys.

Hey Daniel;

Having owned several 510's in the past (still have a very nice one i am rebuilding), and being obsessed with them since the 80's i can say i have seen dozens of great examples..

this one is the best by far though, clearly in a league of its own, and the poster of it from fast fours earlier this year is still on the wall above my desk at work and it gets a lot of attention from co-workers let me tell you...

awesome car, congrats to your brother and all involved and best of luck !!

Just awesome - I hope this level of detail and workmanship will start to show more in the 4cyl car scene - it really needs it.

Im so fed up of seeing plastic bodykitted cars with fart can exhausts in magazines

Great work - you deserve it!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
