    Handz Detailed: 1966 Datsun Roadster Silver [Modded Sake Rocket]

    I dont usually post pics of cars without paint correction but i had to post this awesome car up.

    I really enjoy working on cars like this because i know the owner REALLY takes pride in this car and really cares about it

    The Owner contacted me Via Local Car forum. He had stated that he lives in The Bay Area and was driving his car down for the Japanese Classic car show in Irvine. He was looking for someone to clean the car up the show since the drive will make it filthy. I agreed to do the job Over night so the car would be fresh for the show in the morning!!! Since the paint was in very good condition and the car is VERY well maintained, The owner requested no paint correcting.

    Since the car was going to a show and the owner wanted that "Pop" i went with my favorite Silver Pop Combo, Wet Mirror Finish + 1Z Glanz Wax

    Wheels:
    - CG Wet Mirror Finish
    - 1Z Glanz Wax
    - CG VRP

    Underhood:
    - CG Wet Mirror Finish
    - SmartWax NuShine

    Interior:
    - Invisible Glass
    - CG Wet Mirror Finish

    Wash:
    - Adam's Shampoo (For Wheels)
    - CG Citrus Wash+Gloss
    - Natural Sea Sponge

    Clay:
    - CG Medium Claybar
    - CG Speed Wipe

    Protection:
    - CG Wet Mirror Finish
    - 1Z Glanz Wax

    Metal
    - Master Formula Metal Polish
    - Meguire's Synthetic Sealant

    Anything look odd about this tag?



    Washing in The Dark



    Tiny Little car in the garage lol



    Wet Mirror Finish REALLY made that Valve Cover POP



    Wet Mirror Finish on the CF Dash









    Another shot of that SR20

    OMG what a vehicle! Nicely done. I bet it was a treat to get to work on it, I'm so envious we don't get cars like that around the Midwest

    Thanks for the kind words regarding the car! Greg did an awesome job cleaning up the ride after 400+ miles down I-5 + I-405.

    'SAKE RKT' picked up 2nd Place -Datsun Roadster category over the weekend at the 5th Annual Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS).

    ...and then we drove it another 400miles back home to San Jose. Rinsed/sponged it off and it looks like new again!

    Thanks again Greg.

    I'm guessing that's not the original engine?

    Definitely not. SR20 came in Silvia's if I'm not mistaken.
    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

    That car is awesome. I don't own one, but the Japanese classics are growing on me.

    I think they actually used the R16. Possibly G, but I'm pretty sure it was R series.

    Must be a custom catalyst/information plate that the owner got, cause it says it's a SPL311 with a SR20-DE.

    Beautiful car though.

    Stock Engine in the Roadster 1600 (SPL311) was the R-16. The U-20 was found in the Roadster 2000 (SRL311)

    The SR20DE engine in this Roadster is a non-turbo S15 engine. That means it was originally sourced from a 1999-2002 Nissan Silvia and has the Nissan's VTC variable valve timing.

    The Model ID plate was a custom job done by yours truly. Cost me >$10
