FrankRizzo Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Lives in my neighborhood, Ive never seen it around. Clean set up though. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-620-pickup/ . 2 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Wow, that's a clean truck. Not a big fan of odd-fire V6, but it is a really clean install, and probably runs as well as it looks. He could have run it into a single tailpipe for a less odd-fire sound. The short center caps on the western wheels look awesome. I wonder what they are off of. Obviously a body off resto too, as you could never get the frame that nice without removing the body.

Dusten Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I think it's extremely clean. And anyone who's done the amount of work it takes to get it that clean knows the cost. That said that V6 sounds awful 2 Quote Link to comment

I have a super clean one sitting on a pallet in the shop and I refuse to use it in anything. Maybe I should just get rid of it. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I detest the sound of the 4 cylinder Subaru. They sound like old Vee Dubs. Pretty sure it's the dual exhaust. 2 Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 WRX with the boost regulator venting straight out sounds like a fart in a jar. Nuff for a good laugh, but not much else. Quote Link to comment

When my buddies fox opens the wastegate dump it's on obnoxious. 1 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) there was a truck just like this when we went to meet at a garage in downtown Portland .. i'm sorry i cant remember his handle on here, but he was president of Datsun's northwest for a bit .. Not his truck was just there at his place . Edited October 31, 2023 by bananahamuck Quote Link to comment

If you ran them all into one pipe it would sound like an inline 4 cylinder. The exhaust on a boxer WRX is 2*2-2-1 out the back. From my days with my gf rally racing them, and my time owning them, simply going to equal length headers completely changes the sound. Edited October 31, 2023 by Dusten Quote Link to comment
