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.

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!!!

Left hand drive dash + adapted steering rack for this car (tamiya 1/12 datsun) is available, see http://www.bestbalsakits.com/tamiya/tamiya-detail.asp?kitnumber=2724

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. ;)

Thanks Guy's ...

Other than a few small details I think this Nitrous blown 4bbl'd 6 cylinder is done..

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

Thanks Ben..

Kris... I thought about adding a turbo to it also but I didn't want to over do it LOL...

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...... ;)
