1978 Datsun (210) Sunny... Got one. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Sentra Champloo · 05-08-2007, 01:08 PM

I just recently picked up a new project car. Its a huger orange 1978 Datsun 210 automatic (better for swaps do to the larger tranny tunnel). I've been doing alot of research on doing a swap in my car. I recently picked up some suspension stuff for it 280z springs, struts, and brakes. I've been really wanting to do a FJ20et swap. I have been having a real big headache trying to sorce on up. I must have really bad searching skills. I guess if I can't find a good deal on a FJ I'll more then likely end up putting a CA18DET into my 1800lbs hatch back rear wheel drive old school Datsun.I assure you this will be my fastest project yet. I'm hoping of putting around 300whp out of what ever engine I can get my hands on, but would more then likely be much more with a FJ20et.If you or anyone you know has a place where I can buy a FJ I would be very happy if you could share.I'll be sure to post pictures soon as possible.

arkive43 · 05-08-2007, 01:57 PM

very nice lets see some pics!!! did it have any rust?..

anumeric · 05-08-2007, 02:57 PM

AH man I'm mad jealous. And good choice in motors. Try calling Jhot motors. I almost picked one up from them before, but someone snagged it before i could.

PICS OR BAN!! lol

from what i've seen, the most abundant cource of fj's is australia.

but, i'll let google confirm or deny that.

Sentra Champloo · 05-09-2007, 10:19 AM

Other projects...

2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R spec V PTi stage 3 338 on 10psi 380 on 14psi
1975 Datsun 280z SCCA set up... L28e about to be turbo..

I really just now started looking into getting the swap into works..
I'll post pictures soon as I get my camara back from my wife.

I bought it for 250 bucks from a junkyard. Apparently someones mother died and they didn't want to mess with it.
76,000 original miles 0 rust.. Blown A15e The seats have small rips over the years... But, I'll still some out of my 77 280 parts car.

I plan on turning down the boost on my sentra and driving it daily and making a full out race car out of the 210. Cage, slicks etc... I already got the slicks and other suspension stuff.. I have a KA24DE laying around.. But, I would really love to have a FJ.. Those things can handle some crazy boost stock.

Yeah, def. need pics now!! nice pick up. Look forward to seeing the finished product with whichever engine you end up using.

Sentra Champloo · 05-09-2007, 05:30 PM

Sentra Champloo · 05-10-2007, 07:25 AM

All my friends are honda boys and they don't like it..

"It sure is ugly as F***" "why don't you build your 240"... blah blah blah
