Oh man! E21!

Coolness!



I'm fairly well versed with the M20 platform, and the Bosch fuel injection system that runs it (it's the same as OEM Nissan/Datsun stuff).

If you ran into any snags, which I doubt, feel free to pick my brain.


What a lucky girl :D

so far its been a good little car, havnt had any issues, and the previous owner rewired the whole car and labeled everything super nice, so that was a plus

im gunna leave it alone for now till she gets the hang of it then i might put some more work into it to cheat it up a little lol

i was told that this model might be a 2 year run? 78-79? so it might be a pain in the ass to get parts for?

they are slow out here

before they opened up the rules, the Honda/Acura integra's are the most popular, the Chevy Beretta also and Nissan Stanza

those were the most popular cars

but car count is light now, so they opened it up to rwd also

i know a guy who runs a 93 accord in that class, and his brother had a civic, fastest cars by a good bit

closest were a couple of sunfires, half the cars are neons or cavaliers though

and then of course the saturn crew, theres like 5 guys who all run the same sentra

i know they can run RWD at the local track, but nobody does, and i heard a lot of crying about the guy who had a mustang, but he totaled it the first night of the year

e: uh nissan sentra
