Springs installed and theyre great! Seems to be a good match for the extra v6 weight.funkaholik wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 8:45 pm Just found this thread & subscribed. I remember this beast when you drove it over here, and how shocked I was when you popped the hood! Did you get the comp springs installed yet?

Re: GM V6 datsun roadster
How about posting some video, and of course, audio? I would like to hear that bad boy run!

Re: GM V6 datsun roadster
I don’t know why exactly but this car reminds me of the Andy Cost (nomadtrash) car, Brucephalus. Wonder where it ended up.

Re: GM V6 datsun roadster
Absolutely love that thing. When I first found out a week ago that was I was going to be getting one, I firsts thought about and S-10 or camaro engine and tranny (5 speed) swap. The more I have watched videos of the stock 2.0L revving, the less I have thought about that... and then I watched your video, haha
