OH MY GOD! thats like those nasty fat girl emails that people send you , once youve see it your disturbed all day NOT NICE!

[amgis_obrut]

i like some datto's

My wife had a little 1600 called DATSEZY

[EVL076]

yeah chalk me up for a lover of the datto 1600, that would be the only one i would even think about buying

[kodos]

The 240z and 260z are pretty sweet too imo, and the fairladys are cute little things as well .
Dont make me post a pic of my datto 1600 Andrew

[Sigmaproject]

1600's and Fairladys were big in their day.

[tandanus]

I used to have a Fairlady 1500. It blew MGBs into the weeds. I took my mates little sister for a spin once and she reckoned it was more fun than the Mad Mouse (a roller coaster at the Adelaide show). Then, after a complete rebuild, some drunk drove into the back of it when it was parked
And be nice to my 120Y or I'll post a pic of her rear end

my first car right there mate. Loved it... It was a great car just died of cancer im afraid.

[wheelnut]

guilty, i,ve had about every datto known to man about 20 at last count but i saw the light and got my galant. wat bits you after for the z18 i hav a mate that had a 1600 with one it and is a massive parts horder.

[Frosty]

A 240Z with a twin cam RB30 and ITB's would be cool.

otherwise no, not really my thing.

[A112H]

I am a fan of the 240z but if I was to go Datsun looking it would be for a very rare 200B SSS Coupe.



I think they look a bit like my Galant Coupe with a extra window.

[Tj.]

My car club's full of em.... well, used to be. Most are scattered in pieces around various NSW forests now.

I infact compete in a rather clapped out 1600 (cringes, waiting for things to be thrown)

And i shouldn't stir the pot more but the absence of axle tramp in motokhanas/khanacrosses is a big plus.

And I'd cut certain parts of my anatomy off for a 2000 sports.

[amgis_obrut]

this is my wifes old datto

[wheelnut]

ive had a 200b and 180b sss coupe. still got bits of the 180. i remember seeing that 1600 at the nats years ago, good to see its still about.

[psshhhht]

that brown 1600 looks like a toy car lol! Gotta love the ol' dattos though!

[scoop075]

this is my wifes old datto

I remember seeing a feature in a mag on that datto quite a few years ago, did you own it when it was featured??

father in law owned it when it was in hot 4's

Wife got it done a few burnout comps with it then sold it

[DanTurboLancer]

This is a good example of a 240Z

and a couple of mates have 1600s
one with a stock CA18

The other really done up with SR20,
and he just put in the R200 mechanical LSD
Great fun!

[Xaser]

I love IT!

Me! I had a 1200 coupe with a worked L20B/TRX 5 speed/TRX diff for my first car. Only problem was, it had a habit of breaking traction on the very slippery roundabout near my school. Dad confiscated my keys and sold it on me
It stands as the best car I've ever owned, given that my forays into the world of the Mitsubishi have always been in clapped-out old bombs. Oh well, I've got my GJ to keep me entertained now

dont mind the datto 1600 or the datsun/nissan bluebird with the group C flares and spoilers

[75wagon]

I had a datsun 1200 coupe too.
A14 in mine imported rally 5 speed in it.
It was pretty quick in the early 90's, (slow by todays standards).
It had a habit of breaking things.
9 gearboxes (until I put the 5 speed in)
4 diffs
1 tailshaft uni
1 engine mount.

I remember DATSEZY.
Hot 4's car show.
Doing burnouts on the drive day.

It also won the burnouts at summernats didn't it?

I bought a '77 lancer hatchback after the datsun 1200 and was so impressed that it didn't break all the time.
I had 3 lancer hatchbacks and now 8 galants, I wouldn't go back.

won top 4 at the nats and got a 4th overall but never got the top prize

[GC75]

id have one yes

[boyracer]

Mother had a 1600sss
Grandfather had a 240c (kinda like a Toyota crown 1970s)
Folks have a Patrol 3.0 turbo (2008)

For me I don't anticipate buying one, got enough on my plate.

[77galantv6]

the old man had a SSS Stanza which was pretty cool but didn't compare to his 510 (1600) Bluebird. The Japanese import 2 door version

was supposedly rare as rocking horse poo as he puts it. it is now sitting in a collectors shed.....

[woops]

Yeah i've got a mate who imported one of those 2 door 510's from japan about a year or two ago. Scary thing he is actually making it a full track car. I think i'd still prefer a GTO MR twin cam over the datsuns with the independent rear.
