Does anyone here know anything about these cars. There is one that has been parked in a driveway near my school for over 5 years...and I was thinking about picking it up if i could...any info on how they drive?

great cars.. fun to drive.. lil slot but respond great to a few mods..

the only prob is that aftermarket is not heavy on this for exterior, but lots of potential on engine.

my friend has one and lovesit


2004 Nissan Maxima SE w/ Elite Pkg
2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe w/ Sport Pkg

A kid in high school had one. '80 or '81 I think. I liked riding around in it, the thing was a blast to drive. I'd say buy it, shove an SR20DET in it from a Silvia and go smoke some Mustangs. Or do a Chevy 350/700R4 swap. That seems t obe a popular swap for old Datsuns.


Be kind to dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

However, the 350/700R4 swap is EXTREMELY expensive.

The Gm parts you can get for cheap, but the conversion parts cost alot.

My g/f had an 86 300zx (close enough I guess) and I loved that thing. It talked to you when you got in the car.
