They went very 'american' at that era, toyota, datsun, etc, theres some very nice cars from then but they are usually mega bucks. :thumbdown:

wasnt there some old datsun estate? here we go, 610. got an element of potential cool about it.

I'll TT you if you dont shut up :lol: :2guns:

thats a good link, thanks for posting it :thumbup: not too good with the older datsuns, the 510 wasnt a uk model, was it?

I think we're on the right track here guys, I'm especially liking the datsun 510, looks ready for a VG30 engine, if it'll fit lol that white laurel looks sooooo much better! proper fugly boxfresh!

you mean make it 'rat look' to impress people on here LOL :lol:

hmmm would need to be kept jap really, liking the idea of an old datsun.... :clap:

I am lucky enough to have a spare VG30DETT in the garage, me and my mate were discussing sticking it in a classic car. I've got the engine crossmember, mounts, loom, ecu, etc etc, what would be a good car for it do you think? I originally planned to keep it as a spare and get it uprated and rebuilt for mine, but I also like the idea of a one-off project car. Purely speculation at the mo, but open to any ideas flying around? :thumbup:

I hate banging my head whilst laying under cars - may just be me, but when I bang my head the reaction makes me pull my head back quickly, resulting in the back of the head hitting the floor at some pace. done it a few times. lol :cry:

might as well do it in style! :clap:

me and my work mate were both feeling a bit ropey today... must be something going around

you can hold a bit of paper or material near the pipes and it will lift if theres a leak from a pipe :thumbup:

them toyotas arent very strong are they?

Nice one Paul :thumbup:

sounds like the engines knackered :tt2:

welcome, looking forward to seeing the piccies :thumbup:

Yep, another vote for the Scirocco here. How can she not like it lol.

that picture above is just a screwdriver to press the valve in lol :tt2:

the more systems you can do without, the less you have to check, a/c, prvr, egr, aiv etc :thumbup:

thats proper shite mate, really sorry for you :cry: you got onto the police?

not to mention easier fault finding and tidier bay! :sailor:

thansk buddy, I plan to get it done tomorrow but also got to take my sister to birmingham airport :thumbdown:

I had a spare tank in the back garden for quite a while, but I gave it away to a passing jippo lol :lol: Good job I've got a spare Z on the driveway hey :thumbup:

how about when you are driving at high revs - say 7000rpm. More than just a number, its incredible to think the crankshaft is spinning 7000 times a minute inside the engine, no wonder things break lol :shock:
