Post by AZhitman »

Hi guys!

Wanted to drop in and join the community, and introduce myself and my "herd" of Dattos...

I'm in the midst of restoring a trio of 69-70 SPL311's, an SRL311 and a '72 S30.

I'm also the proud owner of a beautiful 63 NL320 - My Datsun NL320

Just completed work on a pretty radical '93 S13 convertible, with a 400-hp KA24DE-T (the way Nissan should have built them) that's probably the nicest in the world... [url=http://www.nicoclub.com/articles/vert-proj/vert-part1.shtml]Project 240sx Convertible (a 10-Part Series)


Daily driver (and HPDE track slut) is a modded '03 G35C 6MT, and the support vehicle / parts hauler is a stockish '00 Frontier Crew.

Looking forward to getting to know you guys, and learning more about my Roadies as I tinker away at them...

Also, if anyone knows a cure for this dreaded habit of hauling home underappreciated "mutts", I'd be interested in hearing it!

Cheers, and thanks for a great resource!

Welcome and forget about a cure. It only gets better or worse depending on how you look at it. Enjoy!!

There is no cure....only remission.....

Glad to have another racer in our midst. Got to get one of your roadsters out on the track!

That peanut is a very cute little car, you must be proud owing it.
I like those caps on the head light, wonder if it is something that could be put on a roadster.

That's the one. Funny thing is, since it didn't meet reserve, they pulled it and put it on CL. I stumbled across it again by accident.

If you're ever in AZ, you're welcome to come by and take it for a spin. :)

Hi Al,

Probably a 4.88. As it is listed as a truck gearset...but you never know.

I would like to find another detroit locker for a roadster with 5.13's :)

I did finally find a 4.62!!

Best,

Ron

Hi Alvin!

I'm a web guy, I kinda have to know about Nissan / Datsun resources! ;)

Thanks for the info, my friend!
