Jezza's 1600

Datsun 1600 running 2.2 ltr Z series block with Lseries head , 48 mm Delorto carbie R180 locked diff . Car has long history of auto X . Driver has 0 history of Auto X . Should be fun

So what happened to the pics Jezza?
Will you be there on the 17th?

who used to punt that around the rally scene? looks familiar... looks good though should be fun!!

Try that . I'm new to this Forum stuff . Couldnt remember how i did the photo of the westy and stuffed it up but now i have fixed it .

It was once green and driven by Ivan Murphy . Then it was owned by LRT but i dont know how much they used it .

ok i was thinkin a different car looks good though should be fun!

I know Ernie Hastie built the engine & I believe Ivan Murphy had it in the late 90's. If you have a chat to Ernie at the first auto-x he will probably be able to fill you in on most of the long history of your car. Good luck & see you on the 17th.

prior to Ivan Murphy the car was datto light blue and owned by Matt
Robinson. that was about 3 auto cross tracks ago

Yes I can see where it was light blue at some stage . Old Datsuns just keep going . Can anyone tell me how to find out what year it was manufactured in . I have looked at all the numbers I can find but a date is not very obvious . Maybe the number on the fire wall P510**** means somthing . I will be there on the 17 th . Ment to be working but have taken the day off .

Cheers Jezza

The P510**** is the model / chassis no. Ernie is the man. He told me what year mine was just by looking at it.

I am quite sure that it is a early model. you can tell by the dash, grill, and the direction that the wipers work. If it has a long rectangular speedo in it that means that it was manufactured in either 1968 or 1969. I have had a little bit to the with that car throughout the years so if you have any questions send a PM

The wipers go in the same direction, so it is the newer model, mine go in opposite directions & is the early model

We only had the 1600 for a season. It did win the SWTCC vs LCC Autocross Challenge at Rally Australia 2003! Nice to see the old girl looking so good.

looked good on the weekend jezza, looked liek you had plenty of fun, and some respectabel times for your first event!
