Jim3 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) I've wanted this kit for a long time and finally scored one at tax time .. Started with a set of Foose wheels, cut the rear rinds 60/40 to off set the rims .. They look a little better now.. Gotten some of the motor done, added a 1/16 scale blower as a super charger and a four barrel. Edited July 25, 2015 by Jim3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bestbalsakits Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Any datsun is a good datsun, blown datsun is super datsun... Nice build so far. I'm watching ;-) Love this car and will follow your build....so far so good! Would get this kit if it had the steering wheel on the proper side!!!

stump Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Jimmy, you have my attention mate. LOVING the mods on that six-cylinder motor....a blower is something I would not have given thought too. And it suits perfectly, GREAT start mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim3 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Thanks Guy's ... Other than a few small details I think this Nitrous blown 4bbl'd 6 cylinder is done.. Edited January 17, 2015 by Jim3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher5150 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 A super....with a carburetor....you mean a to say your "tuner" doesn't have 8 turbo chargers, and ten bottles of NOZ in it. It's different I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim3 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks Ben.. Kris... I thought about adding a turbo to it also but I didn't want to over do it LOL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Jimmy, the motor turned out a treat mate. nice details without being too over the top. And yes, it's so pleasing to see some different (outside the box) thinking with regard to induction....the blower actually suits it very well. I was pressed for ideas with mine....with 4 to build, each has it's own unique induction...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
