Dat Meister Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 May as well start up a build thread incase people are interested. :-)1979 Datsun Sunny B310 Sedan, original A12 engine, 4 speed. This is my daily drive, and i've just got my license a few months ago, i have a very low budget but i'm putting everything i can into my baby. <3 Plans: - 15x8 Rota Shakotans - Lower 350mm all round - A14/15 engine swap - Weber 32/36 Carby (possibly go with DCOE's if i have the money haha) If there's anything you'd like to share just go for it. :-)I'd also like some info on which carb would be best for the money, like is it worth getting the downdraft weber at all?Anyways, enjoy!

JAKE719 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Looks like a pretty clean car, good deal! It's gonna look mean on the Rotas and lowered a bit, for sure. Quote Link to comment

So excite for the Rota's, the wheels on it now are killing me. Only $250 away from them. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Dat Meister Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Also, i replaced the front and rear shock absorbers a few weeks back. Quote Link to comment
Dat Meister Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Anybody got some experience fitting wide wheels on B310's? (210)Since im planning on putting 15x8 (0+ offset)i reckon the rears will fit nice but the front track will be to wide and poke too much :/ Quote Link to comment
CWhip Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I wish we had those bumpers over here! Good lookin car! I'm running 15" Swazi's and my tires are 7" wide and come real close to the fenders at full lock. Quote Link to comment

I'm running 15" Swazi's and my tires are 7" wide and come real close to the fenders at full lock. They're not bad. :) Ohhh okay, what tyre width you using, e.g 175, 195, 205? Quote Link to comment
CWhip Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 They're 195 50x15 and I was mistaken, not at full lock. Quote Link to comment
Dat Meister Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 So if i want to lower it then having 15x8's is gonna be pretty hard hey? :/ Quote Link to comment
Dat Meister Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Not too good news, the carby hat came of due to a worm thread and managed to throw some shit around and suck a few washer(s) down the carby and possibly into the intake. So i'll have to take a look with a flexi magnet and fish em out. :sleep: Quote Link to comment
Dat Meister Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Update: carby is off and looking filthy so i'm probably gonna give it a clean once i fish these washer(s) out. 1 Quote Link to comment

Dat Meister Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Very well!I've recently bought a 1979 Datsun Sunny Wagon with a rebuilt A14 engine, with high comp pistons, weber carby, extractors etc which goes pretty hard. :-) So that will be my donor car for the Sedan.
