The Australians can always be relied on for a good laugh. So in the spirit of the
GTI-engined AX
Chris wrote about, here's what appears to be a rather sweet and standard old Datsun 120Y. With a 300ZX engine in. And a bigger turbo.
There aren't any power figures disclosed in the video but, given its clocking sub-12 quarter miles, we would have to assume there's Quite A Lot. They aren't easy runs either by the looks of it, the car squirming and wriggling the entire way down. Of course there are gear changes to fit in too, making the process look really rather intimidating indeed.
The attention to detail in keeping this car looking as unaltered as possible is fabulous. There are bowls left on the parcel shelf, a beautifully beige original interior and unmodified bodywork. The LPG conversion maintains the illusion of this being an economical runaround.
The start of this vid is probably a bit too long, but it's worth it for seeing this magnificent motoring mongrel get to 120mph in 400m. Alright, the huge slicks give the game away once on the strip but this Datsun remains a very cool car. Top work lads!
