Ant-dat Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Here is my Australian 1978 200b Imported to the uk in 1987 I first restored it back in 1993 (bought it in 1991). It's had a few changes over the years, Manual conversion 4 speed then a 5 speed upgrade (dogleg) and lastly a VG30E engine and box upgrade Sadly time has caught up on the old girl and I'm planning a full restoration in time. I have managed to gather quite a lot of NOS parts for it (panels too) It was also featured in a UK magazine [url=http://datsuns.co.uk/Images/MYDatsuns/200B/Retro/retomag.html]Reto Mag Feature[/url] Edited April 26, 2019 by Ant-dat fixing links 1 Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 isn't a VG30 too powerful for a dogleg? Quote Link to comment
Ant-dat Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 It's not a dog leg, It's a VG30e box ;) Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 oh? Your post is unclear (beside the fact that an L tranny wont mate to a VG) cool car for a Scot. How's the MPG (LPKM?) on that thing? Quote Link to comment
Ant-dat Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 ah, sorry for the confusion, Thanks did you check out my 180B? It was actually very good, was getting 35-40mpg on a run a little video 200B enjoy :) Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Couldn't read the dyno sheets, too blurry. Love the VG!!! Quote Link to comment
Ant-dat Posted April 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 thanks, I can post more pictures up and better copies of the Dyno if you like? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 That would be nice. Quote Link to comment
Ant-dat Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 sorry the best pictures i have at the moment new intake Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Torque doesn't make sense. Surely not 500-600 ft lbs? I like the straight climbing HP numbers. It would indicate a flat torque curve. Quote Link to comment
Ant-dat Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 your spot on with the torque figures, during the day there as an issue with the machine, they gave us all a calculation on how to work out the correct values which i cant remember. The graph flow it self though that is correct, Funny thing on the day was they enclosed the air filter in cardboard and the car gained 5hp lol a little video i made I'll see if i can find the video of the actual RR day.

datzenmike Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 130.5 hp @ 5K is 137 torque HP=Tq X RPM / 5252 or Tq= HP X 5252 / RPM Quote Link to comment
