Was an awsome day even tho it felt like it was 35 deg in the shade :D

Would encourage everyone to come along next year, there was only 1 C10, 1 C110 sedan, (looked good and was packin a turbo L6 ) my lonely old C210 and a hand full of various R30's.

Here's a couple of mine from this album---> All Datsun Day 2010

Harvooo your Coupe de green machine is looking way to fine. That colour has come up a treat and those mags do it much justice, are they a 70's cheviot wheel. They remindinded me of a mates 307 chev powered escort back home in Nu Zuland.

What have you ended up with under the bonnet your so keen to show off?

Love your work Dan

That coupe is awesome.

Is that the original green they came out with?

I had a sedan in that colour and really loved it.

Got a great pic of my daughter polishing the front bumper when she was 3....time flys.. she's a 28yo school teacher now

Had a pale yellow coupe too ,got it when less than 12 months old (both manuals)

Wife just reminded me we had a black auto sedan too (wish i'd kept them)

Thanks mate, it's nice to have some photo's that aren't taken off of my phone. The wheels are oz made cheviots and they'll do for know I suppose.....

As for the engine there's nothing under there worth showing off just an old fella reminiscing "about the good old days"

current engine set up (minus the Holly/charger, standard carb still on there)

Thank you too mate, colour is not original but similar. Pretty happy with how it has turned out still needs a lot of work and it dosent help when your mates have got 400+ rwhp Dattos :(

that color is freakin awesome mate! stands out!

is that a drop-tank i see?

It dose look good all polished up and out in the sun, and thats a "imitation drop tank" just a cover for the shitty looking spare wheel well.

WHat front bumper is that?

normal one painted white?

It's just a standard issue bumper with shitty chrome and the rubber strip taken off (hence the holes along the front)

ps: I'm still chasing the trims off the front of the bonnet/guards if anyone knows of any? can only try :D

I've been looking for a C110 for a while with no luck.

Maybe I should consider one of these as they're a bit easier to find and a lot less prone to rust.

RB25DET with triple webbers fitted would be cool

Hey Chris, I don't happen to have your old coupe do I. Mine was a yellow one once. It came with the big workshop manual and it had been traded in by some people from down my way, Rockingham or Port Kennedy erea. Maybe you had it before them. Do you remember the plate number?

I took the DR out for a few hours in the morning but it looks like I missed that photographer. There are a few of mine on japannostalgiccar.

It was a good day albeit bloody hot in the tar carpark. I had to take the kids to a birthday in the afternoon so unfortunately couldnt stay longer.

Loved your C210 Harvo, kept telling my kids I used to have one just like it in orange, everyone used to call it Jaffa. Except for the ever encroaching rust it was a great car. Sold it for $1500.00!

yeah, thats my coupe, did alright at the event......

That was the stand out car of the show in Adelaide and it should have been awarded that. Not just my opinion, but most of who I spoke to thought it deserved Car of the Show, no matter what everyone else has said since.

I was branded a trouble maker for suggesting such an outcome.

It sure is a treasure!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
