- Part of what excites me the most about this thing is just not caring. The first car I've felt confident to tune myself - and do much other less than ideal modifications to get it driving how I want. 13B Bridgeport Datsun 1200

More rotaries?! I salute you sir
Adam has to many rataries now.... colab?
More piston cars?!? I also salute you sir
Collab time 👀
when worlds collide
also thoughts on his 4 rotor🤷♂️?
Chelsea is such a good friend man, stopping the lift from making the clicking noise. Can tell how much he’s caring about RUclips, and not just his videos
Lol it’s the locks of the lift engaging as it goes up “the clicking noise” that was funny
You and collette building this car together, and doing EVERYTHING yourself would be the dopest.
doubt they could pull that off
Yeah 10k rotary build aren’t expendable
Dopiest?
That would be a liability
The light falling out on the first dyno pull had me weak.cant wait to see the plans ahead for this awesome pickup
Same 😂
was just about to comment this lmao
I love how Adam has a literal fleet of crazy custom fast racecars at his disposal, and he is completely obsessed and totally fascinated with this little frankenstein car 😂
Drinking and vlogging with adam and the boys.....classic......doin it for the fans, thank you adam.
That front bumper needs to be tightened so bad, lol 😂
Rear bumper
You had to say it didn't you.
Light’s falling off mid pull 😭😭😭😂😂😂
@@phoenixrising7047 batman was busy someone had to
@@SpAzZzZz_ Dilla is that you?
Convert the leaf spring to traction bars or trailing arms to keep the diff from moving forward and backwards, then to keep the diff from moving from side to side you need to install pan hard bars on the back of the diff and front.
Oh here we go with the know it all
You can install trailing arms with the leaf springs. Thats what people do with trucks. Won't need a pan hard doing it with leafs.
And there's probably no good solid mounting points for the trailing arms to attach to. Same with a pan hard bar which you only use one, you don't put one in front and one behind the diff.
Watts Link :o
The fact this has 103 likes tells me nobody understands leafsprings. A traction bar bolts under the leaf springs using the axle U bolts. It had a rubber snubber in the front. When you get on throttle the snubber tilts up against the front leaf spring eye thus stopping axle wrap. You could also use Cal-Tracs which are similar-ish.
Since its a series 5 transmission, make sure you get the delrin bushing from LRB speed which goes in the shift block of the trans. It makes a lot of the slop go away, as long as your shift block hasnt been worn away too much.
Adam and Collette bring me so much joy when they’re together. I can see the purity and the genuine love for each other. Grateful for y’all both!
Caltracs are your best option and they will make custom kits for cars based on measurements if you call them.
Do a 3 link. And on your center link instead of a solid bar use a shock and spring. Look up asphalt modified rear ends.
Agree. 3 link for a simple street car.
And they are pretty easy to fit.
3 link but no crazy asphalt car setup, its just a street car.
You need a torque arm conversion fabbed up for that thing, or some Cal-Trac bars to control the wheel hop.
Hi....Collete ... I'm happy you're collaborating on the Datsun , The colored socks are nice 🧦 😀👍
I really enjoyed the low budget DIY tinkering. Please keep this build a DIY theme! The full restorations are epic too but its super cool seeing you do it. Really relatable content.
I just realized that LZ has all the best and most knowledgeable Dorito masters in his corner. Those rotaries adams acquired lately are absolutely amazing
He doesn't have Dahm bro
I love seeing the rotary projects because here in east LA theres a house that fixes nothing but datsuns and rotary's. From little pick ups to the 510s.
A workshop operating out of a house eh.....and what was the name of this business?
@@phoenixrising7047 ITS THE FEDS EVERYONE RUN
Im not saying anything anymore without a lawyer lol
@@badboymorales Heheheh!
@@von... Still surprises me and the boys back at base how many fruitful stings are formed here in the "innocent" RUclips comments section. WE ARE WATCHING. WE WILL TAKE YOU DOWN.
If you’re keeping the leafs for now look into traction bars like caltracs or the old school slapper bars like what old muscle cars used to use, another option is a pinion snubber (not ideal) but ultimately a triangulated 4 link would be best if room allows
I vote slapper bars! Old school for an old school car!
I would 4 link the car, wider wheels, 13B-REW bridge ported, elite manifold with bigger turbo, new ecu call it a day
The slapper bars are gonna work for sure . Just let them hit leaf mount and not the floor . adding the rear mounted torque bar will fix it all on top of that, make it adjustable, cause pinion angle is also playing a factor . Loving all this rotary action between you two 👊🏼🍻🖤
I missed this style of content, I know its hard with the super high end cars but getting to see you just tinker and work on a more average car will always been enjoyable
12:25 moved like the flash in the backround
That’s why I came to the comments 💀
Collette is going to love her engagement present when you propose to her in it all fixed up!
The fog light falling out mid pull is so funny and Adam talk to the camera and buddy pulls up in the cart to talk to him as soon as he stops the cart Adam pulling away is so hilarious 😂. Loving this ‘care free’ build you have going on so relatable as to what some people might do to there build
I think he was following to make sure the GoPro didn’t fall
Such a sweet ride. My first car was a 1972 Datsun 1200 with a A12. I really miss that car. Had a lot of good memories.
All you need is Lakewood Traction bars. Make sure when mounting the the rubber snubber it presses against the spring eye. They are universal and can be cut to length. Then a good limited slip or even an air locker for that 9" and some decent front brakes with 5 lugs.
Lakewood is still around? Had those on my 74 AMX. Definitely an option if so.
This is one of my favorite kind of videos, loved every second of it!
One of the key ingredients to rotary cooling is the oil cooler. Those factory coolers that came on the older 12a motors are excellent but there's an internal thermal bypass that can fail and restricts flow. If your car had one of those units then remove it and just make sure you get the engine up to temp before you rev it.
Pretty sure he showed in the last vid it has a beefy aftermarket oil cooler
Love videos like this. Workin on cars, hangin out with your girl and friends. Doesnt get any better than that.
For a road car just do tramp bars or look up the A-frame kit they make for mk2 escorts. That's what I have in mine and it's a great job both track and road.
4 link is really only for track not nice on the road
so many cars came factory 4 link w/ panhard and are great on the road. its poorly setup suspension thats the problem, don't spread misinformation about 4 links.
That factory oil pump you talk about is called the OMP (oil metering pump) just a small FYI. This build is super cool and shows the magic of old cars that only old cars can give. The radiator mods came out so good, you did an awesome job, mate. Keen for more!
Even a set of Caltraks that bolt to the leafs will DO WONDERS.
I love theses types of videos, keep them coming!
Love this build! It's great to see you working on your cars again! Reminds me of the cream S13 days when you would work on it in your garage in college.
There are numerous Datsun 1200s and late 60s early 70s Corollas with leaf springs going as fast as high 7s down the quarter.
Good springs, good shock absorbers, and good bushes.
4 links are great, but unless you get the geometry spot on with a 4 link it's not worth it.
Great project.
Seeing you and bert having the same kinda friendship after all these years since you first took him your cream s13 is so real
I respect your builds man 😊 keep doin it ❤
What would he do without your respect Ergene 😩
Idk if it’s me, but the outro hit differently today 🥰
Track bar for the rear end mustang track bar should work for a fox body 👍I used Lakewood traction bars for a 9 inch 👍
Awesome video Adam. So cool seeing you have the time to get more involved in a build again like the old days 👌🏼
Personally I’d say 4 link, future proofed for whatever you end up finally doing with the car, you’ve then got a super solid rear end setup
Man it’s so cool to see you so excited about a car I wouldn’t mind if a lot of your time went in to this build and had a lot of detail!
want to see this thing vs Jimmy's FC
Jimmy will win
This is such a beautiful car. Being Western European I always found this one of the most beautiful coupes ever build. But so rare and all died out. Just as the RX3, 818, 810, 510, Colt Galant, TA23 and TA28. I would love to own one of these 70's beautiful coupes.
12:25 - is it me or does the person in the background do something trippy 😂
Bro became the flash
Yooo loving the Collette and adam content! Got the wholesome feels with Collette riding shotty while you tweak the tune.
"Not intending to be a huge project" lol
3 link with an equal length setup, and ae86 front subframe, and arms/ knuckles that thing will eat and drive super nice for minimal work
plsss give this car a full adamspec 💯❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Every straight man needs a girl like Colette. Loves the same stuff as her man, seems chill and supportive all while being drama-free. At least what I can see from the limited exposure we get here. I love them together
What a great find your channel is. I love the way you explain things and that you talk a bit faster.
🙌👏🚗 Chelsea is an amazing friend, going above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience for his viewers. It's evident that he genuinely cares about his RUclips community and strives to provide high-quality content. The attention to detail, like addressing the clicking noise on the lift, reflects his dedication to creating enjoyable videos. It's intriguing to see the progress and increased boost in the rotary-swapped Datsun 1200. Can't wait to see what's next! 🏁🔧🎥
god i’ve always love you track at ur place so much literally perfect for a car guy
This build is so much fun🥳I am absolutely loving this car
definitely the kind of “build” your channel needed.. love it so far
Love the longer videos and in depth talking while also having a laugh with the bois. Keen to see you and collette work on this together to
Awesome little runner! I’ve been reviewing your past FD ORL runs for nostalgias sake. I’m super excited to see what happens this year! It looks prime for a ton of fun.
The turbo noise from the outside shot actually sounds pretty nice. That little thing is a ripper though. Can't wait to see where the build goes!
Thanks for sharing the excitement with us!
When you talked about the rear end shifting I figured 4 link it. I still stand by it.
Make the attempt Adam. So much cooler then spending money...also I absolutely love when a car is small enough to roll down the passenger window from the driver seat.
I would 100% get ahold of James tall he's real good with leaf spring cars
Have had a few mates with 13-B RX-3s they are a beast. I imagine you would see the same in a Datto. Much love from down-under.
Thank you from all 2 door coupe owners in the world for bringing up the value for us :)
Absolutely loved the video, this format and content is absolutely perfect!
Definitely like seeing you more and more actually in shop putting in that work! You can’t put a price on All That Knowledge! Man it looks so good at that end shot!
I had a Celica 2000 GT when i was younger a 1976 i think it was, It had anti-tramp fitted as standard. You need it to stop wheel hop. Sweet car btw. My brother has another one sat in his garage needs restoring.
I love this mix. For what you want just add track bars or another leaf to the springs.
Gotta say ... I love the lz tune and fab diy series 👌🏻
This thing is like a baby rotary mustang
Mad Dat Motorsports makes an awesome front suspension kit. Had it on mine and loved it!
Nice to see you hyped up on a project
Some traction bars and good lsd centre is all ot needs at that power level.
Liking this diy type of build and Adam learning on it is entertaining.
Reminds me of Aussie street scene in 90's when we could silly shit on the street.
I love seeing Adam with Collete, she was good for him.
Chelsea is such a great add to the video!!! we need more Chelsea colabs!!
I would love to see an Adam and Collette fab series with this car!
One of the coolest cars on the compound
Damn feel like I'm getting spoiled all these back to back videos! Let's goo.
4 link that ish....
After fixing those leaks it doesn't sound like it falls on its face for that split second like it did in your first video. Love that car so far!!!
You can also get thicker leaf springs, traction bars and new shocks 💯🔧🚗🏁®
Adam, Pick up a watts-link cover for the diff and install a watts link for axle centering, and then just pick up a pair of slapper-bars (Google it, they bolt to the u-bolts and brace against the front of the leaf spring) and bolt em in, wheelhop solved. Add some good shocks and that's all you need. Classic muscle car formula.
This is probably the easiest solution. You could go with a panhard bar instead of the watts-link, but since you have a ford rear end in there anyway, they make watt-link kits that replace the diff cover.
Can't wait to see more of this build in the future
This is one of my favorite builds you now have. We gotta get this and our white RX2 to cruise on the island 🇵🇷❤️
Chelsea and Adam are hilarious together. I hope he visits more often.
Traction Bars AKA Slapper Bars AKA Anti-Tramp Bars are the way to go. I've been into the 9s with a set of them.
I feel like people under estimate adams skill. Very talented and very smart.
I love this build series.
loved this video. It's nice to see u getting stuck in like the old days
I’m so hyped Adam with the Datsun content keep up the awesome content homie 🔥🔥🔥🔥 can’t wait to see your added touch’s on this beautiful classic
New rear leaf springs and shocks that aren't worn out and weak. Then, look up Calvert Racing CalTrac traction bars. Wheel hop fixed.
My friend all you need is the best, you need a Fourlink. Do it right the first time like the pros and you will see, you are going to love it. Keep going and GOD BLESS YOU ALL. ❤
BRAKES, BRAKES, BRAKES! Add a piece of spring steel 2/3’s the length of the leaf spring between the axle and leaf spring for quickie fix. Get an”ADD A LEAF” kit (may have it at autozone) and cut it to fit your car. Traction bars will help a lot, but those old leaf springs are probably shot. Looks like a ton ‘o fun!
This video reminds me of old school 240 Adam doing the build himself. Much love more like this bro 🤙
I would enjoy watching you build this thing dude! We can all get to learn with you on this journey.
New favorite build. Stoked to see where this thing goes. Maybe a street/drag build would be cool
This is way more my speed. I love that little Datsun.
I love Chelsea's sly cheekiness! 😂 Such a cool guy!
Adam, call Tim Soldiers they can set you up with everything you need and their customers service is awesome, installation support is on point.
Adam, I agree with Chelsea……do a 3 link….just put a brace on top of the 9” towards the back….just weld a bar between the frame rails and then a bar centered to the top of the 9”..this will eliminate wheel hop…..
510 has independent rear suspension. If you're gonna spend money on rear suspension retrofit a subframe in there. You could use mazda miata with an 8.8 center section
New bushes, add an extra leaf, good set of shocks and make a set of Caltrac's. You can even add a panhard rod if you want. Really not that hard.
