Re: Datsun 620 Parts Needed

Hey cool ute, i used to own it. The trim you speak of isn't chrome its just a painted steel moulding. The bonnets are notorious for rusting out on the leading edge, usually rusting the trim out with them. Try horopito motors, possibly have one there.

Re: Standard 510 or 160B SSS Seats?

The high back seats re trimmed the same as the originals would look cool and be a good compromise between the two.

Re: Hawkes Bay Datsun's

Nah it didn't happen Bart, nobody else keen. I did go along for a look & there and there was an immaculate 240z and a rough but cool 1200 coupe on display.

Re: Datsun SG 720 Diff Ratio

My 85' 720 (L18 powered) was 5 speed and sat at approx 2500rpm at 100kph. not sure if that was due to the 5 speed or diff ratio but i suspect both. so possibly a diff from a king cab 5speed could be a better ratio? just an idea.
