71DIMER Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 And I never noticed your unique interpretation of the Sunny GX grill emblem. Well done. :thumbup: Ha, I did that paint scheme before I knew it looked like the GX grill emblem! I just knew I didn't want the full width painted and I made it look like arrows in the middle...lucky coincidence but thanks! :) 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 GX uses a standard center grille emblem. Export models use this one: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 GX uses a standard center grille emblem. Then what is this? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 That is a 1972 Coupe grille. For the Japan market, coupes & sedans got a facelift for 1972. Same center emblem is used by DX Coupe, GL Coupe and GX Coupe. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hey that is cool! The way you painted half the grille's center strip to create chrome wings. Well done. I did not notice it til DF brought it up. It looks better than factory I think. Quote Link to comment

I hadn't seen the winged center emblem before I decided to paint mine that way...jI just thought it would give it something different. It was ust a coincidence. :) Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I finally found a way to keep it clean! Lol Also my buddy gave me a 'gently' used stock air filter assembly! :P 1 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I dig that. Fits good with the video too. :thumbup: Need to see if that app lets you fade out the song at the end though. ;) FYI, WIndows Movie Maker will do that if you have a PC. One I made testing a dolly I built... 1 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Is that your Avanti? It's one I built for a customer. He wanted the bumpers, not me. I just did the fab to install them. ^_^ '63 Studebaker Avanti, dropped 2" all around, upgraded shocks, 17x8 Bullitt wheels, dual exhaust through Flowmasters (sounded mean but not too loud) original supercharged 4 speed car. Was a blast to drive, and quite fast too. Sorry for the threadjack 71DIMER. :P :P 1 Quote Link to comment

dimas1200datsun Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 So I have never been thrilled by the red Sparco seats that came in it… So out they came: And to replace them were these clean tan E30 seats (shown on the left of my garage) J Here they are installed, what do you guys think?

dimas1200datsun Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 This seats are 100%better I dislike the red seats Quote Link to comment
worksnaDELUXE Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I just want to bang chicks when listening to the music in your vid. Just saying. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 LED's anyone? :) Are those the Sylvania LED headlights? The rear looks killer. How much effort/cash did it take? Also, is that "Shake Everything You Got" in the video? ^_^ Quote Link to comment

Also, is that "Shake Everything You Got" in the video? ^_^ No, the ones I bought are GE Nighthawk, but from what I learned during my purchase, they seem to be the same exact design with different brand names (not generic). The LED retrofit kit cost me a lot of $$$...haha just kidding it didn't cost me a penny! I won it in a Datsun 1200 contest from the LED maker...and the song was one of the choices when loading it on YouTube, so I don't know, it was under 'FUNK', and it fit the bill :P Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Anyway here is the LAST of my LED Tail Light videos...it shows all the functions of the LEDs for you to see...shows parking, brake, blink, and reverse. :) 1 Quote Link to comment
