New Zealand Datsun Club

Hello fellow Datto heads. My name is Steve and I am making a trip to Rotorua NZ near the end of September.

I was hoping to do some Datsun things while seeing the sights and was told this would be the place to ask about that sort of thing, so I here I am.

If possible I'd love to rent, borrow or maybe purchase (if cheap enough) a Datsun to drive instead of one of the crappy new cars that are typical of rental companies.


I'm the same user name on ratsun.net as well and here's my current Datsuns if you wanted to check them out.

My lowered KA620.

Thanks in advance for any advice on sights to see, things to do and places to go.

I would be happy to help you out in the South Island. But if you are only go in to the North Island I am sorry. You are missingg the best bits.

I'm hijacking my brothers trip for work, so no real choice on the location. We do have an extra 3 days after his work is done to go wherever though.

How long are you in NZ for?

Hi Steve, your vehicles all look awesome. Can't really think of anything specifically Datsun to do in Rotorua for you, sadly the closest you will probably get is mini stock racing at paradise valley speedway. It is not far through to Taupo Motorsport park, you might see something there. There is a self drive 4wd and go kart place not far out of the city too, not Datsun related but a bit of fun. I was wondering where you are from, I'm guessing WA doesn't stand for Western Australia as your cars seem to be left hand drive

Monster01 is in Rotorua.
He has a pretty Mint PA10.

Thanks. 4wd is my kinda thing, I will look into that and the speedway.

WA stands for Washington State, USA. All RHD here.

Would he be willing to rent it out maybe? Not sure if a mint ride would be the best idea as a rental lol

I wouldn't treat it like a rental for sure.
