texasz Posted March 5, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2012 Has anyone had any experience with Datsun Spirit in VA? They advertise some impressive motors and I'm curious if anyone has dealt with them on anything and what they thought of the experience and products.

Travel'n Man Posted March 5, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 5, 2012 I have purchased a few items that were priced fairly and shipped quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diseazd Posted March 5, 2012 Share #3 Posted March 5, 2012 Eiji is a very good friend of mine and is "honest as the day is long". He sells high performance goodies straight from Japan. His engines are beautiful and make big H.P. numbers. He sells an engine bolt kit that is well labeled and has every new cad plated external bolt needed for your rebuild. You can trust Eiji.

SteveJ Posted March 5, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 5, 2012 Eiji is also an active and respected member of the Z Car Club of Northern Virginia. Though I haven't purchased anything from him. I would if he had a part or service I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Head Posted March 5, 2012 Share #6 Posted March 5, 2012 If this is his web page - http://www.datsunspirit.com/index.html - you should let him know that it needs some serious work. It's all 404 errors and broken links. Maybe he has enough business that he doesn't really need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedyone_kenobi Posted March 5, 2012 Share #7 Posted March 5, 2012 I have been considering getting my engine rebuilt just to freshen her up, and I have been considering only going with Rebello. But if Datsun Spirit does good builds, I can consider them as well. Any body hear of how their engines stack up? Again,I am looking for a mild rebuild, not a road racing scorching road terror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again,I am looking for a mild rebuild, not a road racing scorching road terrorMost of the pages won't load (as Zed said), however, the one page of the website that seems to display refers to a mild upgrade/rebuild, just up the scale from overhaul and just under some serious power work-ups. "Street 2.8liter setup is for an entry level enthusiasts, most ideal for those who want a bit more power than the stock engine, or who are in need of an engine overhaul, and want to upgrade a few things. Nothing secret about this, this is basically a high-compression 2.8 liter setup with a street cam and valve train. L28 block (or overbore L24 block), L28 crankshaft, flat top pistons, slightly milled cylinder head with our street cam & valve train to give it a bit more punch. Perfect for daily driver, street/show car, auto X, light road racing.Price range appx $2000- $3000" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoManMike Posted March 8, 2012 Share #10 Posted March 8, 2012 His orange Z is phenominal. It certainly is a work of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
