oh, as for powerplant. it's got the L20B motor which i understand has a ton of potential, But I do live within 20 min of the US Nissan plant and 30 min from their northamerican head quarters, so i may find some local gearheads that know a thing or 2 about these and see what can be done. I wouldn't mind a 240sx motor as they had around 150hp which is plenty for this car's size.
SF, you crack me up!! Noguice, that looks like a nice Dat wagon. From the pic, the paint and wood don't look too bad. I'd try compounding and waxing it first, spray some Pledge on the wood and then see what you have. I bet you'll be surprised. I'm loving the wood on it. I guess the Japanese were really trying to cater to the American market back then. Welcome to the forum and best of luck with your long roof. (Hey, it may not be as long a roof as a Country Squire, but it's still a long roof, guys!!)
SR20 SWAP! or a KA with a small turbo can be had for real cheap! I think some old steelies would be wicked as well! It is to old for any new style.
