  1. hey another Trini on ratsun!...NICE!! I grew up around all dem datsuns from da 120ys 280cs and 180bs...I have two 120ys....my dads friend has a 180b wagon from since new...parked up for over 20 years and wont get rid of it. I knew some guys in Point Fortin that had an rb20det in their 180b years ago.

  2. In the islands back in the day 3 4 and 5 speed column shift cars and trucks were common. We got 3 speed holden kingswoods, ford falcon, toyota corona,toyota crown, toyota cressida,datsun 180b and 1600 to name a few...4 speeds we got were datsun 521,620 and 720 pickups, nissan e20 and e23 caravans, mazda bseries/ford courier pickups, mitsubishi l300, toyota hiace...and 5 speeds we got nissan d21 and think some d22 pickups, toyota hilux,toyota hiace...cant remember what else but there were a couple of em...some guys even converted some nissan e23 caravans from 4 to 5 speed column shift. Its crazy when i tell people about cars with 4 and 5 speed column shifts they be like What?! Lol i heard some American vehicles had 4 speed column shifts...the old 60s ford econoline and chevy corvair vans

  3. I was wondering something....what countries (except in the USA) got datsuns with 3 speed manuals? Back in my home country(Trinidad and Tobago) we got the basic datsun 180b(810) and datsun 1600 510 with 3 speed manual column shift gearboxes. It never heard of other markets having this gearbox in these particular cars...only 4 and 5 speed floor shifts. I did read on the datsun1200 wiki page that some standard b110 1200s had the 3 speeds.

  4. Congrats...I saw the car on ebay and I wondered who was the lucky son of a gun who got it. If I were u I would lower it on some minilite wheels, throw in some mikunis with headers n exhaust and just keep it nice and clean...and oh yeah i'd leave it RHD!! It's just unique especially in the US. I'm jealous of u badly!!
