blitzed

Haha yes. On 41 North of. Why do you ask?

Just feeling out if people have done it and how. No big deal. Not trying to do anything crazy just a mild lift to accommodate bigger tires. But my buddy has some aggressive 205/75/14s. Maybe that will be a happy medium. Edit. To answer the prior questions, more interested in tall and skinny. Just to make it usable around the property.

I'm struggling to find a thread that outlines what a good way to lift a 521 is. Ideally about enough to accommodate 235/75/15s. And how would an l16 like that? Thanks

Update! Ended up buying a super clean 1200. Got rid of it promptly and bought a solid 280z. Finally started to get serious about the metal work on this 1200 and I see it's already been filled poorly in structural areas. May part it out even. Would rather see stuff go to use than see this car hacked together but really unsure.

Dang I need to post my newly acquired green coupe soon too. Lots of action here lately, and I'm glad to see it!

That's really too bad. I hate to ask. Is the shell definitely worth salvaging? Guess it's pretty late in the game to switch cars though.

Awesome progress. So are you happy with the tire size overall? I'm really bothered by my 185/60/14s on my 1200 but only because I see how much it raised the car compared to the stock 12's. I know this has probably been covered a million times. but what do you think of the 1200 vs your 510s?

The interior. The paint. The wiring. The welds.... My car is a rust bucket but... I can see that...

Looks roughish but definitely saveable. Does it run/drive alright as it sits?

Thanks! Accidentally broke a clip on the panel and found a bit of rust behind the vents. Glad I pulled them.

Maybe I'm failing to see the obvious. But does anyone know how the vents come off of the quarter panels? Thanks

Oh jeeze. Mind if I ask what the fiberglass ones went for? I think I just found a pair of new ones for $400 CAD. Locally, I think that may be my best bet at the moment. Still waiting on steel. Also do you guys know if floor pans are available? It's honestly scary when a guy from New Mexico needs to buy sheetmetal in Portugal. The 1200's really didn't get saved like the 510's and z's I guess?

Thanks Mike! If you're ever back this way give me a shout. Cool to see somebody who has a clue where I am. I believe you, this stuff is really difficult to find. Story is it's an original 46000 mile car from Manitoba. Previous owner brought it over with intentions to make a vintage racer of it. Last on the road in 2009. In true Ratsun fashion I decided a tow was not needed as it ran and drove. So with an old sign as a floor board, and a jerry can(sealed) in the passenger seat I proceeded on my 200 km journey home... Departing around 1 am... in the rain... alone, in temperatures hovering around 0 degrees celsius. It only died a couple times as the carb appears to have a sticky choke. In my excitement I attempted to run some errands in it once I got home. Stupid idea, car died repeatedly. Thankfully this car left me stranded 3 kms from home. I really thought these cars were "forgotten" but it's not the case. A lot of middle aged guys have been guessing the car/age spot on. I called a buddy who works at Nissan and a passengers fender MAY be available new. Drivers side still no leads. Going to give this guy a call in the daytime...http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/

Hey guys, been lurking for years now and finally I find myself joining the community. I'm located in Ontario Canada, East of Toronto, West of Ottawa. I recently purchased this http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/oshawa-durham-region/1972-datsun-other-2-door-coupe-coupe-2-door/1117455225?enableSearchNavigationFlag=trueand I desperately front fenders. Among other things. Willing to buy used as well. Anybody in North America able to help me? Thanks and I hope to keep you guys updated.
