Despite a peculiar year to say the last, a new event debuted here in Ontario in 2020; The Japanese Classic Track day.
As the name implies it’s a show that catered to Japanese cars, late 90s and earlier. It took place at Shannonville, a track not to far from my house, so I ventured forth.
One of the first vehicle’s I spotted was a tidy, and rather orange, Datsun 510.
The car both looked and sounded pretty healthy, so when it came off after a session I poked my camera around to see what was up.
SR20 motors in Datsun 510s are not a new swap, but, they are mighty effective in the car, even in relatively stock form.
I appreciate the fact that the owner of this car took their time to make sure the swap looked fairly tidy under hood.
The custom name plate is also a nice touch. One of those little pieces that’s easy to overlook but nice to catch.
The car proved rather durable too shrugging off a late day four tire off with not even a hiccup.
Doesn’t get much better than a light rear wheel drive car with a powerful engine.
