Dalai Posted 1May, 2022 Report Share Posted 1May, 2022 Sakura Picnic was on in Melbourne today. Over 500 JDM cars and a few bikes including mine gathered in Bundoora Park. Great turnout of Datsun 1600's with the most coupes and 2 door sedans I've seen at the one spot - 2 of each plus a number of 4 doors. Not a 1600, but had to stop and take a few photos of this stunning 240K. Blue964, Arne Krix, micknine01 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalai Posted 2May, 2022 Report Share Posted 2May, 2022 Just now, TwoHeadsTas said: Easy import?? Other than Asbestos, should be simple with the importation like any other old car from OS. When I do I'll buy one from Japan as RHD. Car above looks stunning and gives me some idea's for my 4 door. Interesting that they advertised it incorrectly as a Coupe, as is a 2 door sedan. Slightly different roofline between the two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew a guy with 180hp L18 with big head/valves, twin 45DCOE Webers way back when and that was a tough street Datto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 3May, 2022 Report Share Posted 3May, 2022 this one more to my liking has a 5 speed box but apart from that Is virtually unmolested by the looks Also has the original L16 motor sitting in his garage. In this day and age of over inflated prices this is on the mark, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 4May, 2022 Report Share Posted 4May, 2022 I still have my original L16 sitting in the corner of my mum's garage from when I put in my warm L18 and was too lazy to scrap it. Might be worth something now! 8 hours ago, LeeM said: 95 grand? 😳😅😅😅 Not even a 2 door! Nice ones of those have been selling for $65K and would much rather that. The above car is nice I must admit.

35SIXXX Posted 4May, 2022 Report Share Posted 4May, 2022 12 hours ago, LeeM said: 95 grand? 😳😅😅😅 They’re getting up there. A friend just sold his SR20 4 door for $80k. Had it advertised for only a couple days before it sold. Well built engineered cars are now far closer to 100k than 50. I doubt you could buy a well built SR20 2 door sedan or coupe for under 100k now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of price, I have a 2 door sedan with an SR20det and I was offered stupid money for that well over a year ago… and it’s not even painted 🤷🏼♂️ Dalai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 4May, 2022 Report Share Posted 4May, 2022 Thanks for confirming, I thought it would be for a DET. The 4 door I bought last November is just the DE, but with some nice DatSport bits and discs allround. Happy with that as I have my MR2 with hairdryer for boosted fun. Wanting to rebuild my stock DE motor into an NA screamer. 😎 BTW, do you know where they got the strut brace from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say the strut brace, do you mean the one on my car? if so, it’s a Tien from an S13 Silvia. I trimmed and re-welded it to fit the 1600.

Brown Davis used to make them, they had a threaded fitting on the brace bar so you could crank the shock towers closer together 😂. Years ago now probably no longer doing them but could be worth a call, the owner used to rally 1600s. Might still have the details. https://rollcage.com.au/ On 02/05/2022 at 19:11, DJM said: ^ very nice So much want for this one 😍 https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-datsun-510-32/ Sold, about A$50,000 Dalai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 8July, 2022 Report Share Posted 8July, 2022 Found this little treasure many years ago, it is a music box and I think it was used for either an aftershave promotion or someone has suggested used for cigarettes. Made of metal It is need of a bit of TLC so I will put it on my list of things to do... Music box part still works Stepo, P-Kay, Shedpest and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
