OK, I would change one thing on the Silvia, Center caps on the wheels. this is just a huge pet peeve of mine. But otherwise, it's flawless. The U20 is an awesome upgrade.
"When all else fails, force prevails!" Ummm, we're gonna need a bigger hammer here.

Re: Vintage Auto Salon 8.10.13 by HJCG
The Silvia needs lots of help from someone who knows U20s. It idles on 3 cylinders, and is running so rich I'm surprised it didn't have fuel dripping from the exhaust. The owner says its jetted correctly. He also said it was a 2.2L with a huge cam, but I'm not sure I buy it. Right off the bat I noticed that the distributor was at full retarded so my guess its that its got a smog distributor in there. There were a few other things that made me scratch my head in wonder.
None the less, its a beautiful car and was very cool to see in person.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

I think the ragtop civic and the wagon are Canadian... They were at the Datsun Matsuri in Kelowna the last two years - the workmanship on both is awesome. The whole family - She drives the civic, him the wagon.

Yes they are. Justin and Tywla came down from Canada for the show! They are good friends of James, one of the organizers, and his cousin Lay. Justin has also helped build a few other awesome Civics over the years.Datsun.David wrote:I think the ragtop civic and the wagon are Canadian...

They were super nice. I chatted with them for 1/2 hour last year. They showed up late this year but were right next to the Datsun crowd... Amazing workmanship.

I made the cut as well. http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2013/8/16/C ... s-7715738/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I thought it was kinda odd that the one roadster that won something is the only one that hasn't had a pic posted of it.
