I have a few JAP mags here and there is a sunny meet in it with loads of cool pics.

i will have to take a few snaps and post em up.

Im liking the plan for yours, just take your time and dont rush it. If you cant afford to do something, wait and do it right the first time round!

anyway, like I said, I really want a B210 (4 door like above or a coupe!

) and if you see any, let me know please!

Yeah, I am on the look too for a Sunny myself, passed up an early shape B310 a few weeks back due to no money at the right time but when the right B210 comes along, I'm gona snap it up!

Heres a quick long overdue update. I had been toying with the idea of an engine swap for my 310 since I got it. Initially I wanted to build a period styled car with a 1.5 a series engine running webers. The price and availability of a 5 speed box is just ridiculous and getting a good engine built and setup would probably run into a few thousand pounds when finished and still only produce 150ish bhp. By a freaky twist of fate a mate of mine bought an Integra Type R and realising that his jamjar was a bit cagey bodywise suggested he give it to me and we use the engine and box....

Take one perfectly reasonable FC3S with tax and ticket

Add a little Datsun 310 in the mix!

This all makes perfect sense to me, a lightweight revvy turbocharged 13b wrapped up in a retro stylee 310 would rock so thats what going to happen!! Its going in the garage this weekend so we can make a start on the tear down. I have never done a project this big before and its going to be a very steep learning curve for me but with all the car mad mates and facilities to hand I know it'l get done in time!

Updates might be slow but rest assured they will be coming from time to time. Get ready for a heavy ass retro rotary Datsun to see the light of day!
