My "Checkerboard" 240... the A+ drivetrain 4 the DATSUN!

[sedan20]

i picked up this 5spd GEM in delaware when i was stationed there, and used it to travel across the united states when i relocated from Dover AFB DE, to California to where im stationed now in fairfield. i bought the car because it quite simply was TOO good of a deal to pass up. i needed a drivetrain for my 1970 datsun 510 sedan hence the name "sedan20" i have one other project to knock out, and then its on with this build. till then my SR20det swapped 240 is a daily driver. has plenty of supporting motor mods, suspension mods, and it has long ago recieved its "driver mod" lmao. i love driving, and this has been a blast for me. i look forward to the long years me and this nissan are going to spend together. lol. - a picture is worth a thousand words right? heres some shots of her in the 2 months ive had her.

thanks guys. owning and driving a nissan (yes daily drifter) is a completely diffrent world than what im used to in my previous prize car (fully modded 93 civic)... the nissan community is very accepting, and generous. with my civic i had to constantly be on alert for thieves, until one day my trophy winner was snatched out from under my nose in the middle of the night. ill never do a civic again. it was a great car to learn on but i think we all have a turn at growing up.

this WAS my civic


this was what happened . im sure its a pepsi can somewhere right now in canada. lol

oh well, time to try it again.. this sr engine will go great in the datsun, and i wont have to deal with the "JDM" kids again.
