Datsun!!!! That's a really cool car... Nah... That was the Datsun B210 for the rest of the world. In Japan cars were Nissan, and they had only the small-truck lineup called Datsun.  Yeah, I loved that car, it really scooted. Great sounds, too (not only the intake/exhaust), I had what back-then was serious stereo ... Pioneer 200W component system with Jensen 6X9s in the door panels and Bose 301 bookshelf speakers angled to reflect off the hatchback. My girl (now wife) said she could hear me coming from 5 blocks away. Japanese roads were a bit rough back then, with rough cobble-stone, trolley tracks throughout town, and generally not low-rider friendly. Therefore the stiffened, but not low rally suspension. And wide rubber actually hindered point-to-point time. I won many a street race against much-higher-powered Fairlady Zs (Datsun 240Z),Toyota Truenos (DOHC Corollas), and Bellett GTs (Isuzu's sports coupe). |
