Howdy do All. Stumbled upon this forum a few months back whilst looking for "rivet on arches", As "RangerBob's" thread > retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=pfsw&thread=66146 Popped up. Must say RR is packed with very very cool pieces... My name's Jonny. And I'm a young busdriver from Dublin. Picked up this '81 Datsun Sunny B310, Via Ebay, from Darlington/Duraham about 9months ago. There was 13991miles (alot of paperwork accompanied) on the clock, but ive since added 3500miles as its my DailyDriver. Its a 1.2 RwD lil Gem. Under sealed (With cert) from factory, which now of course will need attention, but very very clean and straight n strong, And engine bay has been wax-oiled so is particularly mint (if a lil dirty)... Only modification so far is new wheels, Which being half the weight and twice the width, Have been a surprisingly good upgrade, tho the spoke colour is temperary. The're 13X7 STR Superlites. Plans are Black arches, one of the KE70 style chinspoilers and the black ferder mirrors (which ive already bought), And ITB's , and a lil lower n stiffer with disks all round. Glad to have finally posted

Welcome to RR Jonny, hope you'll find plenty of inspiration here. Love the car, should be even better still with the mods you have planned. Looks like Lucan......

Thanks a million all, for all the nice comments and warm welcomes. And yes to my local'ish fellow enthusiasts, --If your "Old Stock", it would be Clondalkin, but Liam Lawler fixed that for us (God rest'm), So its now Lucan... @uncle Silvia: Still learning to navigate the forum, so will check out your Coupé when i find it. (In "MembersRides", no doubt), Any links, Ta??? Anyhoo, will get a Thread up in M'Rides and let the "lil Maiko" tell her own story with pics n updates. But for now, into that thread, bout the rivet on arches...

haven't been on RR in a long while now. The Sunny is still my dailydriver, so only really started on changing the look of it a couple of months ago. Put the fender mirrors on. Chin spoiler on, (sourced locally too) and just last weekend, got rid of the rear fog lights And debadged the rears 2 emblems.. Before Happy with how its tidyed up the rear end. Ive doubled the mileage too, so now at 30K'miles. Absolute dream to drive... Next is suspension. tired just thinkin bout it, ive that many options...

Awesome car, are you based in Lucan by any chance?, I swear I've gazed longingly at this a few times on visits to family around Dublin

Cheers all... mrnice23: yeah man, I'm living in Lucan. cheers, well I own the lil Maiko, and even I find meself zoning out just gazing at the lines on her. looking forward to having here in better shape, but I'm in no hurry. I'll get there. by all means pull me aside Pal, anytime anywhere. .. sunnyjim31: no, haven't got the arches yet. TBH, rangerbob's arch thread on here, is what got me signed up on here. There is a specific order to how things are being done with "Hiroko"(TheLilMaiko). Next is ride and height. Will service her during da week, but I'm reading up and will continue to, until I decide what to do. Arches are next, so will be on to ya lad. Cheers. All and any suspension advice is welcome All. I'm no Neo, so the simpler, the better. Ta for all the comments guys.

Convert the front to adjustable coilovers using 2.25" ID springs and either the factory struts or from a 280ZX if you want bigger brakes and use camber plates for the demon camber look... the rear can also be converted to a coilover set up quite easily.
