New Zealand Datsun Club

Since my R30 is just about to leave for its respray. I thought i best start a build thread.

Very cool -I am so jealous.

I would love to get into SMNZ too.... thinking I could put my coupe on hold for a bit, and redivert funds into a track car.

I thought maybe track down a 910 like my old junker I had, and cage it out, would be good cheap fun (all be it at the back of the pack..)

alternatively my old Y that is for sale would be a good cheap way to get into it - might have to go check it out.

DO you know if you can run A15/A14 in Datsun's, cause that rule sheet suggested you could only go 40' o/s, ie a bored out A12 <1200cc.

Im just doing it to play in the back also, Im not spending huge money onit. just enough to play.

Any car is eligable i think as long at 70-83 i think. Give them a ring first of course,

Haha, that's awesome

Ye-Ya, great progress. You'd better get into the 1600 or this will be back!

May I ask....why bother going through the effort and costs of panel and painting ? Especially for what looked like fine for race car purposes condtion paint ? Especially when that 510 could benefit from the funds to get it on the road? Or have I missed something?

Did they find any rust so far? Hope they don't make fun of my repairs to the sills

A mate is a tutor at the polytechnic.
Since Ive been doing jobs on his cars since we were sprogs, about time he owed me. So he put it though as a class project

To be honest dude, Im trying to distance myself emotional as I can. So i haven't asked. That way when i roll it, I wont care so much
apparently very rust and bog free tho. I only care that no bog goes back in, don't need any unnecessary weight added

On a side note, still haven't decided on a color
