Huh... what's this "FREE 1979 datsun 810 (oly)"

[Atlantian]

I found my project drift car! (hopefully.. *crosses fingers*)

http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/1731304198.html

I'll strap my friend's STI stock turbo setup to it, strip it, and weld the diff!

(I will also clean it up visually and stance it, I promise. :3)

I called, left a message, texted him, and sent him an email...

Edit: ummm... nevermind, it's carburated... It will be a bitch to FI..

Edit2: Actually, it may be the fuel injected "sporty" version... *cross fingers*

[.:dutchtuner:.]

who cares if it's carb
it's free =D

This.

I mean really you can just do a sr20 swap or even a 1jz. .

[Atlantian]

Exactly man, I want this car so bad, this guy still hasn't called me back. =/

[wRek]

I don't know if I'd even bother with an sr20... Just find a used KA24 from someone with a 240 who is upgrading. They can be had DIRT CHEAP. Turbo setups are a dime a dozen, and can be pieced together for that motor fairly cheap. KA's produce more torque as well. Hell, with a stock KA and a welded diff that thing would probably be pretty fun.

[Atlantian]

Lol, it's funny how Euro guys would know so much about Nissan S cars..

Wait, I have the same amount of torque (a bit more) as a 240sx.

And my friend doing 18x9.5 wheels on his project 240... that means I shouldn't be worried about power, I'll just get my friend to film me in my Cossie for now, and then get something more disposable for events.

Only thing to think about is power to weight ratio... That datsun gutted is gonna weigh quite a bit less than your Benz. Now add similar power to the lighter car. Also factor in that the Benz probably has better weight distribution for a track. That 810 could be dorrriiifffttttooooo magic in no time with very little money. And you don't have to worry about wrecking it into the wall...... Because, after all... It was free.

[Atlantian]

^Indeed, very good arguments for getting it.

i **** him. because we traded in our mk3 supra for our TSX. ahahah

[BreakMyWallet]

btw. DEFINITELY gut the datsun if you get it. hopefully after my audi is built my dad will start letting me do shit to the celica. ill just buy an ebay turbo for 1k because the 80hp isnt cutting it LOL.

doriiffttttooo
