Hi all lyn sifu's !

My grandfather just bought himself a new car and he wants to give his old Datsun 120y to me. He's a mechanic so no need to worry about the engine. The engine is in pristine condition and everything else is also in very good condition. (no need repair anything. Just get it and drive).

So, im planning to convert this car's engine into a better one (1.8L / 2.0L). I would like to know where can i find an engine which is suitable for this car ? And also, is fitting turbo to this car a good idea ?

As for the interior, there's some leaking problems. If i changed the rubber seals for the doors, trunk etc., would this problem be solved ?

I also want to know that is there any shops in sunway that do custom seats ? I want mine to be leather wrapped.

Thanks for the help !

I'm sorry for not replying to this thread as i was back in my hometown for raya and i forgot to bring my broadband along.

Thanks for all your comments. After reading all one by one, i've made my mind NOT to change the engine.

I've checked the engine condition and it's excellent so i thought why not use it.

I'm also dreaming to get my hands on a second hand proton wira so i guess i'll be selling this car.

So, anyone who needs this car can contact me. I'll open another thread in automotive garage for the sale of this car.

Thanks for all your comment guys !

He doesn't want me to change the engine. According to him, the original engine is very good already.

fyi, i already got a Wira. Yeah, i guess i wont be changing the engine. Malas wanna bring to jpj for inspection. (if i have to la)

I'm planning to do these. (give your opinions on these)

- re-do the interior.
- wrap all the seats with cover which looks like leather (imitation leather lah )
- Kenwood DVD player with slide in monitor (taken from my dad's waja ; he's using dual din kenwood now)
- window tints ( according to jpj specifications)
- lower the car
- get small rims like this ( Picture) Not exactly la but the rims would look like this.
- redo exhaust and make it twin exhaust.


What you think ??
