I jumped onto Sydney Datsun Club's home page and sent them an email so hopefully I'll hear something back. I noticed they have a central coast cruise in their calendar for the end of Feb. That wouldn't be too far to travel! I looked i into the MG car club. They do some fun events pretty close to where I live but I wanted to find a club that was made up more of Nissan/Datsun lovers.

What is the best way to contact the club? I am following the Sydney Datsun Car Club Facebook page.

When I first heard about the new log book scheme I was given the impression that it was intended to be more open to allow engineered, modified, vehicles to be club registered. After reading further, it seems to still aply the same guidelines of that the vehicle has to remain close to original. My 1200 ute is running 4AGTE with most of the driveline and suspension modified. It is all engineered though. I wanted to know if there are any car clubs that accept modified vehicles for club rego?

Was wondering if anyone else has been looking into NSW's new modified historic rego? Also can anyone suggest a good nsw datsun/nissan car Club to inquire with?

My other option is leaving one fan on the front and mounting the second in pull configuration on the rear of the radiator. It's snug but does fit. Just a bit ugly!

I've installed a larger radiator and had 1x10 inch thermo fan mounted in to the old radiator support. Unfortunately this isn't providing enough air flow so looking at installing another. My question is how much does the front apron flex with the stock radiator support removed? Will I need to weld in additional support along the top of the apron to compensate?

Definately sounds like adjustment. I had the same problem with mine. It seemed fine when it was cold, but when I jacked up the back wheels, they still slightly rotated when in gear and clutch fully depressed.

Cheers ddgonzal. Not much is standard on the ol ute nowadays. The charcoal canister I have is not fitted with a check valve like the one in your picture. I'm pretty sure there isn't one leading back to the tank either. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm getting alot of fumes in my 1200 ute so I thought I should hook up a charcoal canister. The question I have though is do I need to run a one way check valve on the vacuum line between the manifold and canister due to having a boosted system?

Can anyone recommend someone in the newcastle/hunter region to do a complete front end suspension alignment? I've used a couple of tyre joints around here before and I'm not that confident of their expertise.
