"I think I saw this car on 1200.com, many years ago while it was still part way through the build.   My memory of it was that he chose the G13B because of its light weight and available potential HP. But was a long time ago, so hopefully my memory is ok on..."

"All of my windows except for one are the brown tint.   I sorted out belt alignment and kept the small twin pulley, so yay to that. I also sorted a belt for my alternator and made my new lever with an adjustment screw.   "

"Today I made up a bracket to mount an anti-deiseling-solonoid to hopefully have a second idle adjustment for when my AC is on.   I chose to use a standard A-Series one as I know it is up to the job in an engine bay environment. (Plus it was free because I..."

"Yip, I dont see myself letting go of it D I love it too much, I would sell my 1200 and then drive the 1k as my daily before letting it go If I needed to reduce my Datsun total from 2 back back down to 1.   Thanks Dundee, some of the work is about to be..."

"Today I decided to cover up the indicator wiring on the drivers side of my engine bay.   I simply covered it all up with a thin aluminum plate, painted the plate black and added a JNC sticker to the new wire hiding plate.   Im loving the cleaner look.   "

"This afternoon I made up a 2mm diff spacer to enable fittment of a H150 Center.   I wont fit this until I swap motors... but my process was this...   Draw 2 circles @ 155mm and 186mm then cut the center out with a bunch of smaller cuts on my grinder.  ..."
