ok i finally found one in decent condition. I've always wanted one and i'm extremely happy with this purchase.....

67.5 Datsun 1600 Roadster

brought in a humongous trailer...it does not run, carbs need to be replaced.

After trying to maneuver her on the ice we finally puled her up and into her new home

Until next time...

Plans are to get it running, do some body work and drive it in the spring/summer.

Looks pretty clean for a 67.5. Any major rust at all?

empera · 01-22-2012, 07:08 PM

from what i can see and what the pics that the guy sent me there's no major rust.... Some on the fender that will need attention soon and some surface rust on the floor pans.

I'll be buying a lot of por15 soon lol

Muggus · 01-22-2012, 10:05 PM

OOO very nice. Iv been trying to find a good 510 forever but there nothing around here. I was looking at those as well i while ago.

empera · 01-24-2012, 03:53 PM

yea i lucked out....no substantial rust. I installed some 260z carbs and hopefully will find out if it turns over tonight or tomorrow.

got it running on its own...kinda. Installed a new fuel pump. I then got it running off the tank after i added about 4.5gallons but then it started to run really ****ty after 20 mins...guessing its picking up debris and junk from the tank so i'm gonna drain it and clean it tomorrow.

empera · 06-21-2012, 06:45 PM

quick updates....

removed motor after i got it running...decided to make a longer and more unique project.

empera · 06-21-2012, 06:49 PM

I had an extra motor laying around so i decided to see if it fit.

yes hood closes

and some celebration followed

stock intake fit but its too bulky

empera · 06-21-2012, 06:57 PM

Cleaning up bay and test fitting half rad, (i know it MIGHT not be enough to cool it but we shall see) had to notch the frame but everything will get some support welded on.

Another test fit with modified gte manifold and yes that's a turbo...

Haven't decided on what rear will go in and what suspension i will use. I will be fabbing up some motor and tranny mounts next. Once that's done i will be removing everything and pulling the body from the frame. The project is on hold as i've been tinkering with the supra.

I realize the car will handle ****ty after this and will def. be heavier but i dont care, i want it to be able to cruise with it.

Honduh · 06-21-2012, 09:23 PM

Thats sick, is it a 1j?

GOULET · 06-21-2012, 09:44 PM

Looks like a 2jzge from the valve covers. You're a sick man my friend

empera · 06-21-2012, 09:57 PM

yep 2jzge-t are the plans...gonna be tight but doable.

empera · 08-15-2012, 02:14 PM

ok now that my white lexus is gone i can concentrate a little more on this...here's an update/tease. Had to relocate the alternator. Still waiting on some parts to continue. Currently working on the mounts and turbo placement.

FAST of WC · 08-15-2012, 04:07 PM

Nice build. I currently have a 68 Roadster that I will be starting this winter. I have big plans too

01bb6er · 09-24-2012, 01:10 PM

Never saw this thread before. Very cool build!! I really have a soft spot for old school classic jdm cars.

jdubs · 09-26-2012, 09:45 AM

Julio hurry up and get this finished!

empera · 10-01-2012, 11:29 PM

started working on the "Exhaust" my welding is pretty bad...need practice but this build isnt pretty to begin with so ah well...

progress is slow but steady....should have the radiatior and IC mounted soon
