1983 Datsun Sunny B11 coupe...with a twist.
Discussion
Ok, so it's not at home with me just yet, but it's paid for, so soon will be and I thought I would share anyway.
So, my fondness for early Japanese tin continues, only this time, something a little more interesting is lurking under the bonnet
because this one is sporting a Saab B204 turbo engine conversion with numerous fancy bits accompanying it.
It has only had 1 previous owner, too.
I'll probably change the wheels in time and I'm not sure of the BHP output, but it's using a regular Garrett T25 with uprated pump, custom map and exhaust upgrade etc but then even if the numbers are not huge, I still think it's going to be a bit 'lively' in such a shell.
I will report back when it lands.
A couple of quick pics for now..

FWD or RWD?
Guessing the former...
Introduced in late 1981 (at the Tokyo Motor Show), the B11s were the first front-wheel-drive Sunnys, predating by a year and a half the switch to front-wheel drive by their main Toyota Corolla rivalGuessing the former...

Looks awesome! Shame it hasn't got a nissan engine in though, would be fantastic with an RB26.
OK, an SR20 I can see working, but how the hell would you fit an RB engine in one?Got to be honest I didn't know these Sunnys existed in coupe form, not sure i've ever seen one IRL.

I remember my old man buying a W reg one of these at a couple of years old. He didn't keep it long though as his insurance tripled from a 1.6 Capri just because it was Japanese. It looked cool, went ok (even in standard fettle) and was pretty uncommon, even in its heyday. Nice car.
A W reg would have been the previous RWD car I think. they were nice in their day too - My old man had a T reg one (140Y Coupe)Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
