Hi all, though id stick up some info and pictures of my datsun 120y.

Have had it for just a couple of months but have made a bit of progress.

Was stock standard when I got it, 120,000kms (about 80,000 miles)

have lowered it about 2 inches all around, blocks in the back, and slightly shorter springs with b310 strut tops in the front. Also fitted bump steer spacers to the struts. Wheels are genuine Hayashi Streets, 14x6.5, 0 offset with 185/55 tyres

Has standard a12 with automatic (urgh) next job is manual conversion.

Further plans are manual swap, a15 engine and a little lower.

enjoy!

Nice. For a why. Don't bother with manual til you put a15 in too. Or go straight to L series with a 180b or is it stanza cross member.

I remember as a kid 6 of us going to school in the hatch (hatch open too sometimes) with my neighbours mum driving. Ah those,were the days

Nice work. Wheels & stance make a world of difference.
