Datsun Dude Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks for the clip. Nice growl from those 411s. Enjoyed seeing the Fairladies humming round the track as well. Cool seeing 'em smoke a Porsche. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I would love to see the setup spec's on a few of them. Think those are R16's? Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 possibly r16 with mikunis? @gravel saw your rx2 on another forum. got a build thread somewheres? Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 ah found these wonder if its a repro or genuine? 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 ah found these wonder if its a repro or genuine? Odd. Although the grill, rear lights and cleaned up rear quarter panels are true 411 units, the front fenders and roll pan are pickup units with parking lights that span the joint between the fender and the pan. The usual 411 front parking lamps are inserted into the roll pan and are centered below the twin headlamps. Possibly a transitional race only assemblage? Quote Link to comment
Swedishcadillac Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 That's a car from the AutoShiro shop. The owner Akihito Isshiki is a 410\411 specialist. He restores cars lovingly with all NOS parts and replated bolts, fully painted under carriages etc. His work is amazing and he goes so far as to source original period correct parts down to Toshiba headlights. I've read all his blogs and follow him on Instagram, sss_sprout_sss . I don't know if those are original Grand Prix cars or he just takes donors and builds them to spec. But he has one white and one black with the same basic build specs. Whenever I see his cars it makes me feel like a hack. Which I am! Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment
Swedishcadillac Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Link to the black DR411R http://autoshiro.exblog.jp/19773342 Round gauges, competition seat looks to be R16 with dual webers. Sexiest 410 I've seen! 1 Quote Link to comment
Swedishcadillac Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Geek ^^^^ Get back to your 510/1600 group! This is for 410/411 geeks only. All 7 of us! 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 "Sweedish Cadillac" I really appreciate the rugged construction and excelent workmanship of the Toshiba headlights! My 1967 RL411 still has 3 of the original Toshiba headlights. Unfortunately the third headlight was broken in a stupid driver's [no, not me] parking lot acident. I have replaced it 3 times with Sylvania equivalent units. No comparison! Toshiba or nothing for me! 47 years of excellent service trumps any desire to use domestic replacements. Yes, they still emit full legal lumens. Quote Link to comment
Swedishcadillac Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I also have three original Toshiba headlights that came with my 1965 barnfind 410 wagon. Although it hasn't had a battery hooked up to it in 17 years, still don't know if they are good. If anyone has any doubt to how pimp the Autoshiro cars are, this is how Sprout rolls... 1 Quote Link to comment

Three of my original Toshiba are still functional. How many of your 47 year cars have any of the original headlights. or any, oiginal lamps still functional? Quote Link to comment
