I am a huge datsun fan. Considering the history behind the Brock Racing 510s in the trans am series, they absolutely 100% fit the pro-touring bill. Import or not.

I've always wanted to build an RB26 or SR20 one and run it hard as hell.

Some inspiration:

overkill and too heavy IMO. Plenty of worthy import motor swaps out there...

In Australia they were sold as Datsun 1600's here is one that scored heaps of trophies over the last couple of years

"Aaron Fitzpatrick’s 1969 Datsun 1600 was the huge crowd pleaser with its House of Kolor ‘Rockmelon’ paint consisting of Spanish Gold (KBC14) over a Lemon Yellow (SG101) base. A relatively unique aspect of this car is under the bonnet. Not only had hundreds of hours gone into the detailing and modifications to the engine bay itself but the late model 4 cylinder SR20-DE which now shared its home with a 750hp supercharger created a rarely seen powerhouse. This awesome “Datto” collected not only the number one spot of Grand Champion but also the Meguiar’s Peoples Choice Award and an honorable 3rd Top Special Effects Paint placing"
