The Vortex for Homeless Datsuns - Intervention Needed (UPDATED PICS)

Post by **AZhitman** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 4:52 pm

Oops. I did it again.

Some of you may have seen this one for sale on ebay... Just for fun, I emailed the seller (who was selling TWO 411's, a sedan and a wagon).

He calls me today - Turns out he's a cool guy, knows his Dattos, and regrets listing the sedan for sale, as he wants to keep it.

15 minutes later, we've arranged for the wagon to have a new home.

Ugh. No clue where the hell I'm gonna put it. Time for a lift in the garage at NICO HQ.

I'm driving out to L.A. Saturday at the buttcrack of dawn with Jason (rotorimp) and driving her home.

WOOOO!!!!

You could get a normal lift.

Or you could get THIS

Post by **Otto.** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 4:57 pm

Post by **Razi** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 5:04 pm

Time to send it over to me.

How many Datsuns are left that AREN'T owned by a NICO member?

Pretty slick. I hope there is a safety that stops the lift if it senses weight on the upper portion. I'd hate to put that Rat through the roof.

I had a feeling you would "need" one of those cars in the auction...

That flyer is priceless!

How much land do you have in AZ dude, does your front lawn look like a parking lot?

Post by **Papi Chulo** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 5:43 pm

Excellent.

Post by **Koshin** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 6:28 pm

you can keep it at my house Greg

PC, is that your dime in your sig?? I just saw a pic of it on another thread....thats a bad b****

Post by **ADDirishboy** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 6:38 pm

You can use my garage! I'll take the vert. That should free up some space.

Post by **qat727** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 7:15 pm

Bring an extra one of your cars out with you when you come to pick up Becky. You can leave it at my place. There's already 10 cars living on a half acre lot.... what's one more With any luck, you'll forget it's there and I get to keep it

Seriously, tho.... that's a cool car. Maybe one of these days I'll land an S30..... the Datsun that started me on Nissans.

As much I like a 71-72 240z... I can wait later on it..

Right now my current delimma is bouncing between:

- 03-05 Yamaha R6, helmet, jacket, insurance, register, and course for cheaper insurance...- MILLER SYNCROWAVE 250, with tube bender w/ mandrel...- Or just save for a vertical 3 axis milling machine, retrofit with cnc...

Skip the bike, build your own TIG box for a good stick welder, buy a decent tubing bender and learn sand packing and buy an older Bridgeport with DRO's and learn to use it without CNC....

That way you knock out 2 items on the list for less money than you'd spend for one, plus you can upgrade later. I'm still in the market for a Bridgeport, but I may go ahead and get a Kearney Trecker if I can find the room.

I like the color on the Z, and I like the fact that you're keeping the bumpers.

I'm having trouble picking the "right" color for my car.

That's the plan.

Gonna start researching an AC retrofit so I can drive it in the summer.

Greg, I want to see you rocking one of those 50s-style window-mount swamp coolers on one of your restored Dattos.

Post by **AZhitman** » Fri May 01, 2009 5:19 am

Yep - I want one for the 320... they're prcey!

Post by **Encryptshun** » Fri May 01, 2009 7:53 am

I would rock that bug so hard my swimmers would start speaking German.

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Fri May 01, 2009 7:58 am

Ja. Ist gut. The fender skirts are definitely not gut, though. Fender skirts over cragars. WTF? Pick one and go with it, man.

Post by **AZhitman** » Fri May 01, 2009 8:13 am
