A Datsun 1200? A great sleeper,for sure. It weighs,what,100 kilos or so? 😉

With those HP numbers are you guys twisting those unibody cars into pretzels? I'll probably should start a seperate thread in General Discussion on this. I think users may be interested.

This image is likely more than a decde old and  is pre-SR20



Briefly, car weighs  around 800kg with driver. Pictures clearly show "twist",Video clearly shows insanity and just how good a driver he is. Even at 300HP at the rear wheels. 650HP? Well, Im actually worried about the car needing a longer wheelbase.

I drove the 1200 Post not long after he got it and it was only a Z18. I've owned and driven some rather brutal "street cars", but nothing like this.

Suffice to say, I swore I'd never drive it again and only be a passenger.

All this Datsun crazy started for us around the time George Fury became notorious in his Bluebird at Bathurst. It was so compelling, both of us walked away from "Aussie Muscle" and would trawl the streets SMASHING really worked "muscle" in a Datsun 1600 (rear beaver panel would start to seperate within months of the first build and was always the case whenever we'd do another rebuild) with a Z18(basically what Fury started with) imported from Japan(could buy from a Wrecker firewall to bumber for 750 dollars).

Okay, last off topic for me. I'll come back and insert a link to a seperate thread
