    I know dude! Hopefully the next time you're in town she'll be rippin' and rollin' down the street.

    Me neither, haven't quite figured out what I want to do suspension wise yet. Thinking ground control's for the front, but I'm not quite sure what exactly to do with the rear .

    Soon my friend!! Thanks again for the pushing that one day, easily one of the greatest days of working on cars I've ever experienced.

    Right on! You don't see too many of these bad boys on the streets anymore. I have yet to see another fastback like mine in person!

    Nice, no Rota's over here! Although a set of Shakotan's would look real nice on it, but they're a little played out on these type cars.

    The 12A is awesome there need to be more rotary powered cars i need to own one some day.
    Hahaha probably because most of them were scrapped years ago, they were literally one of the cheapest new cars that you could purchase brand new back in the day. I agree, you need one and you need it now!

    Definitely stoked on price too! Couldn't believe he didn't want more for it. It should sound pretty close to the same once I get some exhaust on it since it's getting strait piped

    UPDATE!!

    Haven't had much time lately to get workin' on the Datsun. Between work and random trips to shred Mt. Hood I've been super busy. Messed with it when I had a moment here and there, but I can't get to seem to get it to fire. Going to buy a new carb soon, and see if that helps any. Anyways, picked up a set of wheels for Todd today!

    Wheels are 15x7 0et Mesh Riken's. Scored them for $200 with some 225/50/15 Goodyear's, two of them are decent. All of them have minor curbage, and one has a small dent, noting major. The dude I bought them from fucking loved these wheels, he'd had them for a long time waiting for the right car, but finally decided to sell. He told me if I don't come by and show him the wheels mounted, that he will hunt my ass down Quite a character he was, anyways here's some pictures for you fools!

    If I have time tomorrow after work I'll throw the wheels on and snap some pictures.

      These things are so odd looking, but I've always been a huge fan.

      Nice project

                Fucking hell yes.



                For the rear, you could get some mono leaf race springs.
                Or dearch them.
                Or just flip them over.


                I've also heard some b210's have 4 links.
                Maybe you could swap that in?

                  I agree. They're definitely goofy looking cars, but have so much awesome to them.
                  Thanks!

                  Those pictures are rad! Really dig the wide body on that first one!
                  I'll look more into the rear suspension, those all sound like good ideas, that's what the dudes over at Ratsun were suggesting as well.! I just want to get it low and stiff!

                  The front fitment isn't too shabby with these guys, but the rear is in some serious need of some moar lew. Needless to say I'm really happy with the way they look!

                            I would definitely suggest mono leaf race spring.
                            My friend put some on his v8 Capri and it's the best thing he's even done.
                            Besides putting the v8 in..

                              Yeah that is sounding like the best way to do it. Once I have some more money I will look into getting some made!

                                oh hell yeah

                                I had a B310 with the same stock motor as yours...the emissions shit knocked 15hp out of mine though...really want another.

                                please, for the love of god ditch the US bumpers.
