Sweet tires. I know where one of these bikes sit's in a shed. I'm following this project now too.

i was wrong, they aren't shinko 705's, they are kenda K761's.

Tires are k761, nice looking and super cheap. I've heard mixed reviews on performance, but for $120, I took a gamble .

That is actually a parts car for my daily, which I am about to get rid of. It's a Cressida, which is basically like a rear-wheel drive Camry with Supra internals. I loved that car, but got rear-ended leaving work last year. I bought an identical car to replace it and swapped all my parts over, but it's not the same somehow, so I'm thinking of selling it and moving on to a new project. Here's some pics of it before I totaled it... and afterward, lol.

whaaat, i've never even heard of one of those! that thing was sweet though! a rear wheel drive camry with supra internals...sounds like a blast, haha. shame about the rear end :/

 

[timwalden1]

Neither did I up until a few weeks ago, read all about them and I'm definitely getting one when I have enough money. MX32's scream classy. Sorry about yours.

 

[shane_lxi]

I had an mx32, it was a piece of shit, but I had one, lol. I kinda wish I never got rid of it

 

[7aliveatlast7]

i've been really digging datsun's for about a year now, but i was unaware of all the other cool old jap cars!! i would LOVE to own a 510 someday...

and a 620...

sorry to take this thread in a different direction! i'll stop.

 

[shane_lxi]

Lol, I had a 521 pickup, and my brother just sold his 510s and his 620, lol. He had a '69 2door with bubble flares and a '70 wagon. You always end up dealing with cancer and high prices when it comes to datsuns, but they're worth it!

 

[7aliveatlast7]

ah, you're killing me! i'm totally jealous. why'd you and your brother end up selling??

oh, and another killer, these are for sale, each within 2 hours of me...

this is further, but i'd make the drive for it...

That first 620 is very nice, looks like the bedhooks have been shaved, cleans it up a lot. The x6 Cressida is cool too. That kid is in japanesenostalgiccar.com, I'm surprised he's selling it, that's his baby.

I always used to buy and sell cars for fun, so I never really had cars for very long. My brother sold his cars to pay some bills and ended up getting a nice jeep with some of the money from those cars.

 

[SloKrt]

That Cressida is only about 2.5 hrs from me.... Deffinately worth a drive.

 

[shane_lxi]

Admittedly I haven't touched this thing in a few days, but I have an excuse, albeit a half assed excuse. I was throwing it together and noticed the upper triple clamp (the 2nd one I've bought) has a small crack in it. I can't for the life of me find an upper triple that is not fucking cracked, so I got all depressed over it and there the bike sits. I finally nutted up and bought a billet triple from bullitcustomcycle.com. $150, but i've spend nearly that buying broken triple trees, so I'd rather pay the extra $ for a triple that I know is not broken, and is likely not to break either. Oh well, here's a picture of my shame...

Oh, btw, here's one of the few pictures I have of my old m32, in the foreground a pic of my old s13

 

[7aliveatlast7]

my gosh dude! you have had some beauties in your fleet!

 

[shane_lxi]

Got my engine in today finally. I decided to throw my sidecovers on after I install the motor to avoid scratching them to shit. Should be happening tomorrow. Here's some pics for now.
