I'm proud to announce the 3rd annual Datsun Day. To be held @ the Prospect Hotel. 3 Prospect hwy  Prospect. (Sydney).  The first year we had around 100 cars entered, last year ,162 cars entered & we are hoping for over 200 cars this year!!!!!

Show your cars, shine from 9am, and don't forget all your spares you wish to trade, or sell with our monster swap meet.. For the kiddies, we will have the water jumping castle, so bring you towels & togs.. (under 10s), plenty of food & ice cold bevvies inside the pub to consume... We will also have the monster raffle with loads of prizes up for grabs, and loads of Datsun apparel for sale on the day..

I'll post up the catagories, in the next week, for this years show n shine..  With under 7 weeks to go, better get cracking & have your datsuns ready to go...

For the interstate travellers, The Prospect Hotel, have newly refurbished rooms, available at reasonable prices. A few of us are staying saturdaynight, for a bit of a video night on the projector inside the hotel & a few bevvies & a feed.  

Looking forward to seeing you all there...

I went to the 2010 one.

It was superb!

It just lacked the 240K then.

Terry I saw you there last year... You came in the black GTR... I was with my brother's, we had 3 1600's and an old bluebird

Hey all, Sorry for the late reply.. I must have turned of ( or not turned on) the notification reply email..

Thanks for all the good comments on our event. Really appreciate good feedback.. Takes abit to put on these shows. Glad everyone is happy with our efforts !!

First year (2010) we had 108 cars... Last year we had 162 (datsuns) way over 200 if we included all the 85> nissans... Aim this year is for 200 + Dato's in one spot.

Definately a Southern Hemisphere Record by far ! :yes: ..If this event goes well, we might upgrade to a track day/ Datokhana/ show n shine weekend next year ! :rolleyes: .

Look forward to seeing you all there.. Even if your not a pre 85 niss/datsun, come along and support our event. Top bunch of people , just mad keen on their cars !! Even if we are all in the same family !

Come and say Hi , if you come... I'll have the dirty porn moe (for movember), with the vegas hat on !!..

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
