The nitro efficiency of this car takes it out of the question for a good nitro-only car. Although it relies on nitro quite a lot, you have to tune top speed so it doesn't seem 'weak.' This is the reason why the Ford F-150 is not a super good MP car. Its top speed is WAY to low to rely on, so you have to nitro tune it. But its nitro efficiency is the same as the Datsun, so it runs out quickly, and on tracks with sparse nitro refills, it does terribly albeit with a very high total speed. I have a max-speed F-150 at 0505 3333 at rank 985, and it goes 197 mph without TK. On Alps and Barcelona, however, I always lose to 959s, just because of nitro. So, for the Datsun, upgrade nitro and top speed equally, like the article mentioned. Try a low experimental tune like 0202 2121 to get a feel of what's right.
