My FJ20 Datsun 1600 Race Car
My FJ20 Datsun 1600 Race Car
Here's my Datsun 1600 circuit car. I've had it for a couple of years and just got it going again in time for the supercar support races up here at Hidden Valley.
It has a worked n/a Nissan FJ20 running off twin webers, rb20 gearbox, Nissan Navara 4.9 diff. Pretty self explanatory really
It's only been out to one race meeting, the supercars, since the engine rebuild and new paint scheme so I don't have many action shots of the dear old girl just yet.
Happy to hear any questions or comments everyone

Thanks guys!
Fish, front brakes are rx7 s4/5 4 piston calipers, disc is roughly 250mm diameter. Only juuuust fits under 14's. Rear is a R31 Skyline single piston set up.
Pedal feel hasn't been as good since the last time I drove it before the rebuild, and the rears were seized at the supercars, so I have a bit of work to do there before next meet.
We had the option to convert to injection a while back, but we stuck with the webers. They have more character, and god dammit the FJ sounds sexual down the straight running off webers. Last weekend was the first time I had heard the engine from outside the car when my dad took it for a few laps.

Get Quad Throttle Bodies... YUMpaddles wrote:We had the option to convert to injection a while back, but we stuck with the webers.

Quad throttles would be very nice, but I'm a uni student so they will have to wait until I stop playing with the rest of the car so I can accumulate a bit of money. But don't worry, they'll be coming one day
You missed out big time on the supercars, it was an excellent meeting!
Good call Dave they are a nice caliper. Fairly light compared to the volvo 4 spots we have on the other race car, the mk1 Escort.F|sh wrote:nice!!!

12 seconds of footage of the Datto tearing down the main straight at Hidden Valley at a recent practice day. Turn that sound up!!!
Bear in mind it hasn't been tuned yet and I wasn't getting full throttle
