Is $15k where it’s at for a good starting point? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1969-Datsun-1600-Manual/SSE-AD-5948964 About standard these days for a running 1600. This car was for sale last year on Gumtree for around $15K down in Geelong. The current sale on Carsales and in Queensland started closer to $20K and has been slowly dropping...

Not a fan of those engine transplants....Sorry for that. But that's why they're called 1600's. Modify them, but keep the L engines. Old skool opinion...Sorry. The Z18 is likely a bolt in swap so easy enough to revert to L series. or to really upset you how about 240hp/9300 rpm of Honda F20C goodness 😂 http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/03/vtec-just-kicked-datsun-yo/ Niko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't like that spoiler even on this one. I think the one available in Australia was a SADLIER? however......I was a bit put off how LENO was putting his hands all over the duco, and with his metal watch as he was resting his arm on the roof. Thought he would have more nouse than that. If I was Greg the owner I would have been a bit pissed... But what a great car....The 57 Chevy's of the future..great prediction/quote LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalai Posted 8April, 2020 Report Share Posted 8April, 2020 Conga line. Me four. When I owned mine and after I always wanted to build another with an FJ20 turbo. Having had faster cars since, I'm with Niko and would just build a modified L series and just enjoy the Webber's and cruise. 81SC and Niko 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s mine, 13B Bridgeport which replaced the turbo L series hand grenade. Less power (210 vs 265) but was lighter, quicker lap times but........about half the torque meant nowhere near as much fun. Should’ve turbo’d the rotary. I’d get Les Collins ex Datrally to built a grunter L series engine but I’d have ITBs for reliability over Webers in 2020. http://lescollinsracing.com/engine To redeem my sins, here’s a video for @Niko factory twin cam LZ20B engine from 1976. Sweeeet. https://youtu.be/tQXOIHuSTQc Or the modern equivalent L18 with KA head, 282hp at 9000 rpm..... firstone, Dalai and Niko 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 9April, 2020 Report Share Posted 9April, 2020 That LZ20B is a rare beast! The L18 i had built was the less common W block which was said to be a beefier block out of a Nissan truck. Lumpy cam and Webber made for a lovely note even though compared to modern cars was underpowered. Probably for the best as I got into enough trouble as it was being my first car!

Ended up off the road sideways, rolled it (double barrel roll in the air and landed on the wheels). When I got home, I told my dad I swerved to miss a dog. He dropped the newspaper, glared at me over his glasses and in a thick Scottish accent said “ach, there’s no dogs in the bush” lesson learned, if you’re a fuckwit and crash your car, own it. firstone and Niko 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same but different. My best friend at the time had a Datsun 1600 and on the first night of him having a license we went out in it . It was pissing down with rain and went through a big puddle on the side of the road first attempt went well . Second attempt real bad we hit a stobie pole ( big concrete pole holding up electricity wires ) car was destroyed.

There we were coming home from a day down the beach, all singing along with Don McLean and American Pie.....AND. CRASH Every time I hear American Pie, it brings back memories.......Sad memories...
