1980 Datsun Sunny B310 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Go Sunny Go!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Differential problems. The car is running a 4:9 diff out of a Nissan vanette with a LSD.
General comments?
This Sunny has been highly modified insofar as the engine has been bored and stroked to get capacity from 1400CC to nearly 1600CC.
Car runs an Escort competition rocket box which is fantastic and strong.
Diff is LSD 4:9 Vanette Diff as per note above. Sure I have had problems with the Diff, however they are very cheap to buy and replace (AUD50.00)
This car, in its present guise, is incredibly quick and very very strong.
