Brilliant - it's fair old irrigation system on the rad/inter too.
So good.

[@tyriestarrs6346]

haha yeah that was an experiment to help with temps at summernats. Didn't get to test it because I broke 3rd gear starting the first burnout of the weekend... I think the flow rate is too high.

[@grahamerosewarne6656]

What a build, every part colour, wheels, the whole pomegranate absolutely gorgeous. Power to match 🤙👍🤘💯💪

[@MrAndrewdenniss]

Great episode guys. What an absolutely gorgeous car and all round good guy.
So much mate ship and passion for cool stuff in the Datsun community.
The best part was fat arming around the track laughing our heads off... Not a bad skid either

[@aaronfitzpatrick2020]

This by far is winning the shed skid comp. Well done!

[@rayban5737]

Not that there is anything wrong with Simmons it's nice to see a different rim combo they look good 👍car is a good package

[@trickhotspot9452]

Is that coolant pissing out from under the bonnet??? (When he rips the shed skid)

[@tyriestarrs6346]

water spray in front of the intercooler

[@jeo282828]

Mint car.
Solid skid

[@peteanderson2533]

What doesn't he like about the Jatco?

[@tyriestarrs6346]

Having to drain the pan every 100km to get the metal filings out! Four trans coolers and still overheats.

[@peteanderson2533]

@@tyriestarrs6346 yea, that would be annoying. I ask, as I know they still throw them behind rotarys (if not using C4 or the like).
