Tiger Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 $10K for an NA 4AGE swap into a Datoo 1200 ute with a new paint job and a cd player/seat/steering wheel upgrade.... Try $5500 or maybe $6K... not $10K My 2 cents worth :down: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Heavens, why would you ! I once worked for a company that had one of those little Datto utes for a town run-a-round, pickup thing. It was horrible. So light in the rear end I could just about pick it up. It handled like a shopping trolley with arthritus, and I can't image adding extra power without lots of work to the suspension would do anything to improve it. However the 4AGE seems to drop in nicely. Looks like it's got more room than Fook's 4AGE in a KE-35. Maybe this guy had a bigger trye lever to shoe-horn it in. Like the blue cam covers to match the body work. Oh well, everyone to their own taste. That's my 5 cents worth ! :down: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Datsuns tend to have bigger engine bays than Toyotas of the equivalent size. Hell, SR20's fit into Datsun 1200's without too much mucking around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitephyre Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 although it looks nice, and it sounds like the engine has been rebuilt decently.. even with new rubber bits in and out ($$$$) still, dunno bout $10k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Old Datsuns (1200 utes in particular, it seems) also seem to fetch higher prices than equivalent old Corollas... Although parts tend to be cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwarf Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 1200 utes are the AE86 of the Datsun world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
