Has anyone on here ever built or driven one of these cars? Iv always loved the way they look and have been tossing around the idea of starting one.

If you're gonna build a Datsun it should be a 1970 Datsun 510 [worship]

A friend of a friend had a 240z with an SR20DET swap and that thing was crazy fast. I could only imagine how awesome one would be with an LSx engine.

I had a 280z a long time ago and they're great cars. I would love to have another one.

Pretty common to put a small block chevy in those.

Yea I was thinking of taking my motor out of trans am am putting it in a 240z 70-73 so it will be smog exempt, I figure 400hp in a tiny car like that would move pretty good!

I didn't know what those little cars were until now. Ive seen some that actually make me wanna get one and fix it up. Maybe sometime in the future.

+1 on the 510 I almost got my ass handed to me by a turbo one running around El Sobrante this last Friday. So if anybody see a primered 2 door 510 around Pinole, beware if your stock. It was funny because he couldn't get any traction.

I've got a Nissan 240sx with an LS1 coming in for tuning the week of the 4th. I'll post pics and a dyno vid for you guys if you'd like.
