floyd17 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 For those of you who didn't know, Nissan is relaunching Datsun in indonesia. I think its great that they're making the Datsun name again, I'm just hoping the quality lives up to the Datsun name, and that they make their way back to the U.S.. It also brings us one step closer to a new 240Z... But what do you guys think? Yay or nay? is it possible it would bring a Datsun revival if they were to be made in the U.S. again? Increasing their fanbase and maybe making reproduced parts more available? probably a long shot. but give your opinions. I'd like to know how my fellow Datsun fans feel about this.

If it came here it would cheapen our Datsuns. im aware it isnt coming here. I dont know if they may have plans to eventually start production in the states in future years. just hypothesizing. and Im sure if at some point they release a decent sports car over there people will have them imported.

floyd17 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Parts are cheap. You just live on the wrong coast. im aware that i can buy an engine for a couple hundred or less, but the dash cap, interior panels, and carpet are expensive as HELL. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 im aware that i can buy an engine for a couple hundred or less, but the dash cap, interior panels, and carpet are expensive as HELL. Keep hunting. Again-wrong coast. Quote Link to comment
floyd17 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Keep hunting. Again-wrong coast. sucks. i do love these things. theres a restored 60's datsun pickup around my area. i needa hunt the guy down sometime and ask him about it. i know his daughter.. its a BEAUTIFUL pickup. i also saw a 1982 210 merging on the interstate behind us a few weeks back... theres a 75 210 in the pull a part. would the interior parts from it be potentially interchangable between my 81 210?

ArchetypeDatsun Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 In that case a simple search would have been more appropriate were a all datsun forum don't you think we would have covered this by now. Quote Link to comment

Ranman72 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 all these datsun is coming back should be morphed together with the title capitols that says Datsun is coming back with that said I have heard this is geared toward a 5000 dollar market and in the USA with all the government regulations I dont think there is any way possible to get anywhere close to that 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I say this with any Datsun news related item... if the news is more than say a day or two, its been posted on this site already. And by a week its been posted at least 3 times. This is a site devoted to Datsuns. At least one of the 200 active members is on the ball and jumps on any news right as it comes out. We appreciate your enthusiasm though. Welcome to the site. Lets just lock this and OP can go update his build thread or something. Quote Link to comment

floyd17 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 That's a wrong wheel drive Altoids tin with 5 doors. Agreed it should be rwd. But still rather cool looking if you ask me. I'd much rather own a 70's 240z Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I think yes If this hopefully prototype tried to enter almost any real life driveway it would leave about 3 pounds of mangled front air dam on the sidewalk. This "stuff" [better than the originally intended "S" word] may look good on the turntable at Tokyo, Los Angeles or New York but it would not survive the real world of Building Permit required driveway entries.

This "stuff" may look good on the turntable at Tokyo, Los Angeles or New Yoek but it would not survive the real world of Building Permit required driveway entries. So A purpose built car isn't practical The splitter is mean for maximum downforce, meaning little road clearance. FYI it always look good except in the city, thats like having a cheetah as a pet, only the rich can afford it and not worry lol 1 Quote Link to comment
