    Datsun 120Y *Update 04/09/07

    Thought I'd get in the spirit of things and post up some details about my 120Y.

    Engine: CA18DET, stock internals as far as I know, S15 non-roller turbo, Microtech LT10S, custom dipe pipe and 3" exhaust, PWR Cooler, Just Jap alloy radiator.
    Wheels: Simmons Gold V4 15"
    Diff: R31 Skyline LSD cut down.
    Suspension: Reset leaf springs in the back, S13 struts in the front.
    Interior: Toyota Supra leather seats (electric drivers seat), S13 dash with custom surround, carbon fiber door trims, autometer carbon fiber gauges, momo steering wheel and a few other bits and pieces.

    Performance: 186rwkw on 18psi.

    I bought the car a few months ago with a stock computer and TRX rims. From there i've basically cleaned it up, put my Simmons on, fitted a few Autometer gauges (not pictured), fitted venetians and had the Microtech fitted.

    Plans: If anyone remembers, I used to own a Bluebird TRX with a CA18det. The engine out of that car is going in the 120Y. It has forgies, ARP head studs, GT2871R turbo, Tial gate etc etc. It made 228rwkw on 20psi. I am selling that setup, and I will be high mounting a GT3071R to this engine before it goes in

    Behind that engine, will be a Jatco which is currently being built, which is a full house box (transbrake, reverse pattern, billet valve body etc etc), and should be done in a few weeks, and I cannot wait

    I won the best Non-Skyline on the weekend at the Skylines Australia day, and also won a trophy for best modified car at the show up at Grenfell festival a month ago.

    These shots are a little old but I sorta rushed this so more updated pics will be up this weekend..

    Nice car. It's very tidy. I was trying to get my mate to buy it a little while back. Can't wait to see some progress.

    I have always liked 120Y's for their crapness... but that one looks really sweet in white with the V4's. I love it!

    I usually point and laugh at 120Y's but hey, that actually looks cool...

    I was about 8 years old when my Dad made Mum trade her beloved 120Y in on a brand spankers 351 XD Fairmont Ghia. She still hasn't forgiven him and still refers to it as her favourite car, despite having owned a million better cars since then ??

    you can always hear them when they break and they stop the engine immediately so you can't do any more damage.

    I took the 120Y to WSID on Wednesday night (18.07.07), and ran a best time of 12.59 @ 111mph (1.88 60ft!). This is using shitty Nexen 195/50/15 tyres and full street trim. When we let some tyre pressure out to about 17psi, the thing was an ANIMAL out of the line.

    The first run was just a "hold it flat" sorta run jsut to see what needs improvment, big dump off the line, mostly wheelspin, revved all the way out etc etc. It ran 13.2...a good starting point.

    When I got back to the pits, the dipstick had blown out and there was oil everywhere. The breather filter had also blown off. So, we fixed that, and went out again. I shifted very early and took it easy as I was a bit paranoid, which resulted in a 13.4 with no breathing problems.

    We let some tyre pressure out and went out again, left the line very hard but shifted 2nd to 5th...still ran a 13.3.

    The last run left very hard again, and shifts were perfect, resulting in a 12.59@111mph. VERY happy, considering I still have another engine to put in, and an auto, with slicks...

    Heres some pics, video to follow very soon...

    Yeah, this thing is super neat. Should be going a hell of alot harder by the time Supernats arrive. Congrats Mick on running that 12. Too bad the Pit Stop Tavern was closed for pizzas, kebabs just had to do.

    A few more neat little touches will be going into it aswell for a full package at any event Mick enters.

    Got a few updates here...

    GT3071R is mounted and exhaust is done. All work was done by Stuart @ Racers Choice Performance Exhausts in Seven Hills. Tial 44mm gate is mounted underneath the turbo (not pictured). All thats left is coating of the exhaust manifold, and running the oil and water lines (which I already got from GCG Turbos). Hopefully its 4-5 weeks away from running.

    That's the nicest 120Y I've ever seen. I know that doesn't usually mean much, but that IS a nice ride.
