That might be Matto's (speed freak) old 'goon. (I once built him a diff out of two blown ones)
If it is it's running an SR20DET.

Rego suggests the same Bart, seems he may have moved into the Hood, did he have a white 810 he was fitting a DET into, or a Mate who was?

Spotted a realy tidy 78 260z in Waikawa Bay (Picton) this afternoon. I would almost call it mint.

Had a really good talk to the guy and gave him a card so hopefully we will see him on here at some stage. and Yes I did get his details to follow it up.

I saw a crisp white rhl sunny today. So I carded it.
And talking to a guy today at one of my suppliers at work, he mentioned he's got a 710SSS that's been sitting in storage at his folks house for 20 years. He's about ot dig it out, and start putting it back on the road.

You must have an image of every Datsun racing that day just about! Did you get any lap times for any of them? None of the 240's seemed to be going that quickly.......so it would be good to have a look at the lap times if they're posted up anywhere.

The black Tony Marsh 1200 whose is that?
