Been looking for a while for a useable project while I make my mind up about my next build.
Ended up with this
Its got a naughty L28 janspeed turbo engine fitted
My first play with turbo's so lots to learn.
Initial plans are to sort out some niggles, fit 4 matched tyres(2x 225/50/15 and 2x 205/50/15 any suggestions). Then work out how to get it running
as good as it possibly will. Looks like my laptop wont plug into it though....
circa 1000kg too so its not porky.

Nice.
I see the grille as having a cheeky smirk face.
fantastic!!!
looks like a old skool skyline in the engine bay
wind up windows !!
how 1970's
looks real nice though!!
I was going to say period Samuri conversion but with the turbo it's already a Ninja.
Very nice.
But look after the gearbox because if it explodes it'll be raining datsun cogs.
Sorry
That is well
I could live with that for a long time
Cheers all
Its nice to have a car older than me!
Love it
I'd be very happy tooling about in that - it looks pretty tidy too!

Very very very nice! love it!!!
Sub Zero is that
Looks really nice... hope it's got metal under that nice shiny paintwork
that is very cool indeed!!! Love it.
You bought it then? Looks ace. Not 100% sure about the wheels though? Could it be lowered a touch?

Ah, didn't know you'd actually made the final decision and handed over the cash. Nice one, how does it drive?

Sooooo envious!!!!!
Very cool fella
How does it drive with the turbo sucking through that big old SU? Good potential for adding FI (megasquirt) and an intercooler, just so you can plug
the laptop in
The retro rims work for me, but wide minilites have to be a consideration.......?

Minilites are such a cliche though.... they look cool, but wwaaay over done
Always loved the 240z was looking for one before I picked up my Manta A.
That looks fantastic. I didnt know Janspeed did a draw through system with an SU. I though Elford Turbo were the only ones on the first generation
RX7.
Depending on what you want to do with it, an option for easy power and reliability would be an early skyline RB25 egine and box. Will probably go in
the like it was made for it. Very basic FI, can be had cheaply, great power and pretty tough.
Nice motor very clean looking as well. Surely I'm not the only one to have a chidish chuckle at the reg plate though??
