martinfan5 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 nice rice twice! I am so glad my mouth was empty when I read that, I have been trying to get my hands on this kit for awhile, overall, I like it, I just cant stand the camber on the wheels and tires , I dont understand what the reason is
Danno Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Hey, Johnathan! That gray, yellow and black thing under the hood is ... wait for it ... you're gonna love it ... don't put anything in your mouth you don't want the whole family wearing ... ~ ~ ~ ~ a rice steamer! :lol: You may resume breathing. (That's humor, Jim.)

dadaman Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 thanx guys I am so glad my mouth was empty when I read that, I have been trying to get my hands on this kit for awhile, overall, I like it, I just cant stand the camber on the wheels and tires , I dont understand what the reason is just to answer that question. the reason why the japs stretched their tyres was they had restrictions on the tyre sizes they were allowed to use. By putting on wider wheels they needed wider tyres but were not allowed to as the wheels would stick out from the fenders. So they would stretch the tyre on so that they could still use the wider wheels. The camber is used in track racing so they would use it on the road for drifitng etc. This car was build with the jap culture in mind not rice. there is a specific Jap car culture that grew from the 60s with a distanct style. i tried to capture that with this hope this helps a bit lol
hotrod59f100 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Raees you did a good job. I love the look of it . Datsuns have a special place in my heart. Edited June 19, 2012 by hotrod59f100
datsunsss Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Well well well... Look what we have here!? Amazing what one can find while browsing the net at work! Again, such a sweet build Raees!
Intmd8r Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Hey Raees, I'm getting ready to do my own Datsun build and was wondering where and what kind of fender flares did you use? I bought an assorted flare package by Fujimi from Japan. It's going to take some work to make them fit, but yours looks like it beongs on that car. Thanks, Steve
surfjunke Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 That is one beautiful Datsun ! Love what you did to it. Some really nice clean work.
ChevyCoupe41 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Very cool Datsun! Stance and wheels looks very good and that engine looks fantastic. Nice job!
Daddyfink Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 That is very cool! Now I need to get back to my project!
