Tsawyer Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hey guys I'm new to the forum, but i've been around a bit. I picked up this datsun a couple of weekends ago. Its got a L18 and 4 speed. Threw some new plugs in it and tuned the carb and she runs like a champ.I'll be posting pics of my build up as I get farther. My main goal is a exhaust system. I'm running a open header now! It has adjustable coilovers on the front and I just put 3 inch blocks in the back to level it out. Quote Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 do the wheels rub with it that low? i know when i tried to put them on my car they hit the fender lip's Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 do the wheels rub with it that low? i know when i tried to put them on my car they hit the fender lip's Not that I'm 100% sure, but I think the IRS is wider than the solid axle. I measured the truck axle once because I wanted to put the IRS in it. To my surprise the IRS was wider. Knowing that combined with my vast knowledge of H190's, I know the 521 and wagon axle are the same width there for they should not rub.... But IRS does get narrower as the suspension travels up...... Maybe he will be kind enough to let us know :D Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Klotz, the pic backgroun kinda reminded me of the area and tree that are behind AMI. But ya i do remember it in your yard now that you mantion it. Jason Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 it had a hood and different wheels back then :) ......maybe we have a "one post wonder"......we've all posted more than the owner! :) Quote Link to comment
Tsawyer Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Nothing rubs, Looks sick. Got a muffler put on, so its sounding better. I'm putting the white hood back on, but its got a lot of bondo on it. I've got another hood that I might work on later. I think I'll be the owner of this one for a while. I'll be up there some Tueseay so I can represent the "WAGON":fu: Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Glad to see that it's fixed and on the road! That's the main reason I sold it...it was going to sit here for another year or so. Quote Link to comment
Tsawyer Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Got a little done. I put some 17's on! Its gettin there. Next Tuesday for sure. Quote Link to comment
