beaver Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hi all, though id stick up some info and pictures of my datsun 120y. Have had it for just a couple of months but have made a bit of progress. Was stock standard when I got it, 120,000kms (about 80,000 miles) currently looks like this have lowered it about 2 inches all around, blocks in the back, and slightly shorter springs with b310 strut tops in the front. Also fitted bump steer spacers to the struts. Wheels are genuine Hayashi Streets, 14x6.5, 0 offset with 185/55 tyres Has standard a12 with automatic (urgh) next job is manual conversion. Further plans are manual swap, a15 engine and a little lower. enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment
Spoona_Jay21 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Nice little rig there! i have always liked the b210 line. hope too see more progress soon, cause it looks pretty promising right now =P Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Nicely done. As much as I like those 12" hubcaps, the Hayashi Streets like fantastic on it! Does it have the GX trim? Quote Link to comment

Does it have the GX trim? cheers! not sure what the GX trim is so cant comment. Its New Zealand new (where I live) and I think we got things different to the USA versions Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 GX Trim means the badges on the outside say "GX" plus a few nice interior & exterior options. They had them in USA and Japan and other countries. Quote Link to comment
beaver Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 ah I see, no GX badge on this one! Quote Link to comment
mrmark Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Those wheels would look AMAZING on my B310!! Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Beaver That car is so beautiful man,, it almost brings tears of joy to my eyes.. :wub: Quote Link to comment
beaver Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 thanks for the compliments! had a few issues today with three people in the car ad stuf fin the boot....was getting a lot of rubbing in the back. A bit more hammer time me thinks..... I also have a mk1 golf/rabbit front chin spoiler to go on at some stage. think it will need to be a bit lower first to pull the look off Quote Link to comment
The Taterhead Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Oh man that's nice. Need a little more low in the front me thinks. Quote Link to comment
beaver Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 The back is lower in those photos as the boot and back seat was loaded with stuff (I had been on a 2 week 2000km road trip haha). Plans for this year are a15 swap and manual conversion, plus a nnother 1" lower all around Quote Link to comment
mrmark Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Sounds sweet! How was your trip? Any breakdowns/issues? Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Nice Car I do like Quote Link to comment
beaver Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Sounds sweet! How was your trip? Any breakdowns/issues? Trip was great! Only issue was the screw holding the carb fuel pump linkage on fellout (thankfully all the linkages stayed in tact). Managed to find another screw that fitted to get me home (was only a few mins down the road). Otherwise ii was great. Quote Link to comment

beaver Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 latest update, have installed an a15 engine and 5 speed gearbox. Have also been working away on the suspension. Built up some coilovers for the front and reset the leafs. Still need to add blocks to match the back to the front. Also got a later model grill with fog lights. As it currently sits 1 Quote Link to comment

Kirden Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hey man, very nice coupe! I was wondering if you would share some more about your bike carb setup. How did you tackle the vacuum advance for the distributor? I bought a manifold for my R1s from Bogg Bros but it only has a vacuum outlet from one runner to go to the brake booster. According to Steve at Bogg, I should just run without the vacuum advance, but that sounds counter productive. If you could share your experience with it that would be great. Quote Link to comment
