Hey Guys and Girls,

so sadly im putting this up for sale due to changing personal circumstances. Hopefully things may change and i may be able to keep it because its probably my favourite car ive owned, its now a collectable and gonna gain in dollars. So, whats done:

Its an L20 motor which has been completely rebuilt by Peter Hall the legendary Datsun man. I have all the receipts of

what he has done to the motor. ($6000)

In summary it has flat top hypertic pistons which have been flycut to accommodate a big cam (it currently

has a smallish cam, big cam will see the motor to its full potential) motor is fully balanced and blueprinted, head has had as much work as possibly can be done and their is flow figures to prove it, Twin 48mm webbers, It has had a brass button clutch installed, I have fitted a r180 diff with 4:6 gears, 3 core radiator, electronic distributor, brakes are all rebuilt, I have put brand new mad dat front end Including adjustable camber and caster bars, adjustable front sway bar. It has a holley Blue electric fuel pump, I have installed all

new autometer gauges and push button start. The most recent mod has been the installation of a brand new 21/2 exhaust. The car since all the work has been done would have been lucky to have traveled 1000kms so everything is still fresh. All you need to do to the car is put the big cam in, re tune it, put adjustable camber tops on the front struts and you will have a very good club car. There are a heap of receipts that will outline most things that have been done. It also has Yoko's advan semi slicks, S14a seats and has been resprayed. Very very little rust and an awesome example of the famous 1600.

The Car in located in South Australia (and regoed) and i have insurance (full comp for only $400) with Shannons for $15,000, which they access each year as because the value of the car is on the rise.

No doubt ive forgotten things so just ask if your interested.

asking $ 12990 o.n.o

PM me or sms on 0407718764

Cheers Chris.

Had it out on the weekend for the first time in months, changed the oil, water, plugs and battery and is running like a dream. For what the engine is, it sure has some poke and an amazing sound, If i sell its really gonna be missed!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
