Max the Datsun, 2012-13 LCR full build, left the start line for the 2013 Peking to Paris Challenge. Less than seven months from the day we took on the project it had finished the event 4th outright and had arrived back in Melbourne.

The L20B engine we built for the job was designed and tuned for reliability and strong torque on low grade fuel. It still produced 160bhp at 6000rpm.

Check out Max's Facebook page. Take a look also at the excellent website for the event.

More photos and information about this project to come – check back again soon.
