The R/T mount, is this the one your speaking about.

TECHNO VERSIONS

Differential Mount

I will chime in as well, in no particular order

Different seats ( I refoamed and reupholstered mine and still didnt like them )

Different stereo

Poly bushings

Front air dam

Lowering springs/shocks

R/T style diff mount

Toyota front brake upgrade

Upgraded dash lights

New rims and tires

dynomat

The best thing would be to get Datsun to make all-new wiring harnesses using the latest wire

This is the FIRST performance thing you should do. Right behind making the car road safe, ie. brakes, tires, ball joints...etc. Suspension and tire mods are useless if your steering rack moves 1/4" in either direction!

Pop your hood, roll down the drivers window, now grab the steering wheel with your right hand(unless you have a Fairlady) and peer down at the rack while you rock the wheel. Is the rack moving? It shouldn't!

Fantasy:

1. Limited Slip Diff.

2. Shocks.

3. Tires.

4. Bushings.

5. Springs.

6. Anti-roll bars.

7. Seats.

8. Steering wheel.

9. 4 point harness.

10. Exhaust.

Reality:

1. Rust repair.

2. Bushings.

3. Ball joints.

4. Tie rod ends.

5. Wheel bearings.

6. Engine, trans, and diff mounts.

7. Rebuild steering rack.

8. Shocks.

9. Window, door, and interior seals.

10. Complete engine tune up.

I just did the steering wheel last week - went with a Momo Competition - should have done it years ago!! Much better grip on the wheel.

Glad you like it. I'm looking into R/T Mount. Trying to get a list of things together so I can do all of them at one time. My brother-in-law owns a gas station, so that helps.
