[datsunfish]

...if you are happy to spend "only" $65 for 16 lug nuts...You daily drive your project car back into ruins...you hang onto your project long enough to learn how to restore cars but it still looks the same it did ten years ago,just more stickers...

[lynchfourtwenty]

you might be a ratsun owner if the gas tank for your 620 is bungeed down in the bed, an you dont know what it came from but it didnt come from a 620..

 

you might be a ratsun owner if you have a ford focus cd player in the tray below the glove box.

 

you might be a ratsun owner if you take better care of the drivetrain then you do the body

 

if you paid 100 bux or less for your vehicle and it ran when you bought it, or only needed something minor... it might be a datsun..

 

if you gotta jiggle wires every now an then cause something stopped workin.. it might be a datsun..

 

if you carry certain items or tools with you at all time just because ya never know... you might own a datsun..

 

if you consider engine an tranny swaps no big deal... you might own some datsuns...

 

 

and that one about naming off differ year / models at the part store to get what u need cause they cant find what your talkin about is so true

[Madness]

You know what NLA means.

 

Have had this conversation on the phone.

You "Im looking for a _______"

Parts Shop "OK, what year?"

You "71"

Parts Shop "What model?"

You "Datsun _______"

Parts Shop "oh..... umm"

You "Dont worry about it"

*Click*

 

When you call the dealership for sh*ts and grins.

you can rattle off engine/tranny/rearend specs for your Datsun quicker than you can say your kid's names.

 

5th gear in your transmission blows up and leaks all the oil out but, you make it home 75 miles @ 70mph in 4th gear. true story

 

your 4 year old daughter gets in and has to ask how to roll down the windows.

You go through your box of parts to make things fit... even if they don't actually fit.

 

For example, here was my coil in a holder that was too big. I "thickened" the coil with a brown paper bag:

 

 

Bungee cords solve everything:

 

 

EVERYTHING:

 

 

You've put in an instrument cluster in a "temporary" spot. You'll get around to properly mounting things when you get a chance:

 

 

 

(I've since fixed some of these things)

[Jayden71]

You ARE NOT!!!! a Datsun owner if....

 

You think L18 means a girl that is now "Legally 18":confused:

 

You would choose a Weber grill over a Weber carb:eek:

 

when parking your Datsun anywhere you walk away without doing AT LEAST 1 look back:(

 

you can go more than 2 hours with at least 1 fleeting thought about her:eek:

 

You ARE a Datsun owner if...

 

you have used duck tape to hold anything on:D

 

you know the local junkyard better than he does and, can tell him wether he has the part or not.

[Colbino]

...you have to pop the clutch to get your car to shut off.

[Zombro]

if you found a complete vehicle for cheaper than the motorset.

 

Lol. the bolts in the driveway i just cleaned them up yesterday.

[woodside4032]

Every time your wrenchin on or fabbin something for your Datto and a neighbor walks up and asks if your a mechanic. Then slips in oh can you change my timing chain for me.

[datzenmike]

You could be a Datsun owner if you go looking for a part in your back yard by cutting the lawn..... :lol::lol::lol:

[WICKED JESTER]

[moparvwfreak]

got ya beat. its called an 85 Chevrolet CAPRICE WAGON! but right now that houses mostly VW parts and bolts.

[LCDC]

If another datsun owner calls you up asking if you have a spare radiator, when you might have two extras but don't want to sell it and make money cuz ya never know when you might hit a deer again. :D

 

When you are running late for work, and stop to look at another datsun pick up at a garage that you've never seen in town before.

 

When you're boss asks you if you've bought anymore pick ups lately.

 

When you tow your project truck to the car wash to clean up all the dirt off with it being stripped town to just the frame and cab, and some one asks you if you are scrapping that and you scream HELL NOO at the top of your lungs.

[Jayden71]
