Basshead_Stewie Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hello everyone just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Thomas but most call me Stewie. Im a big time car/truck fanatic literally cars/truck run through my head constantly. As i assume it does for most of you as well. I mainly have experience with hotrods, though in the last 10years or so i have really shifted to imports and modern tuners. But i believe now have found my happy median with classic imports main datsun. I have been a datsun addict for about the last 2 years, but as luck would have it i have recently purchased a Datsun 521. Which i have decided to make into something special(at least to me). Basically looking to build a skyline truck. Datsun body/frame skyline drivetrain/suspension. Anyways i love what i have seen on here and eleswhere giving credit to ratsun. So much so i have felt compelled to join and share my datsun journey. But anyways thanks for posting and really helping me through my deconstruction of my 521. So many helpful threads can't say enough bout this forum. Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Drift truck? 1 Quote Link to comment
Basshead_Stewie Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Not really a drift truck as it will probably not be caged, basically a daily/toy for cruising and track days at gingerman as it only 20min from me..but drift/track inspired? Yes it is. Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'm assuming you've seen evorays's rb powered 521? It's bright orange. He didn't do the swap itself, but did tons of other work on it. He has a small build thread here and might answer private message questions. I believe he's sold the truck now though. 1 Quote Link to comment
