Hey all,
I've just joined your fine club and thought I'd say hi.
I've stuffed around with a Datsun 1600 for a few years but am ashamed to say I've only just started to have a go at datsun motors with my new 1200 ute, so I'll probably have a few questions for you all about this.
If any of you wanna check out some pics of my cars check out the site thats listed in my profile.
BTW...if you have any questions about rotaries then ask away

Tim

yeah welcome to the site i have only been here a month or so , the site is really awsome and all the members are friendly and helpful so welcome to the CLUB!

p.s wicked to hear you got a 1200 UTE! hope you get some pics of it soon

I too have a 1600 built for the sole purpose of smashing V8's (and the occasional ferrari) similar to yours but with a built SR20DET. I also am looking at a 1200 ute on the weekend. Welcome aboard champ

Ha ha. Porsches are my favourite target! Then you ask them what they paid for it.
So where's the pics of yours??

B120dat there is a pic of my ute on my site.

Yours looks sweet too, nice work

your ute is nice!,
is it black? what other things have you done to it?
what are the mags?
year mod?

p.s A15 bet it goes pretty hard

Thanks, its a bit rough but not too bad.

My ute's purple and its a 1974 model and the mags are 15in auscars.
Its a pretty standard A15 at the mo. just a cold air intake and extractors, 2.25 inch exhaust

But plans are for a weber for now. Then suck through turbo later on. 5 speed, and I have a set of white 16in skyline GTS wheels, but i need to make some longer studs up

I've got a rotary question - why?
btw, nice avatar - burnout on a public road hey?

Why a rotary?

Well I can't really answer that here

If you wanna know then go drive a 500hp rotor and you'll understand

Plus that sweet sweet sound

And regarding the avatar....Are you a cop???

no I'm not a cop. I'm just one of the guys that gets tarred with the same brush as you by the cops. So I had to stop driving my Datsun everyday. Worked out for the best though, as it let me do all those things to make it a better car on the track that are simply out of the question for a car that you drive on the road every day.

but hey, if you are happy being a hoon, then good luck to ya. You'll need it with the laws they have these days. Hopefully you'll grow out of it before you lose your car

Hey, don't take everything so seriously, I was just havin a joke.

The burnout in my avatar was done on a public road here in Orange that is also an old race track called Gnoo Blas, made famous by Sir Jack Brabham in his hey day. Once a year this road gets shut down for a Classic Car day, when we have the run of the track to do what we want with.

I've got a gold licence and a (near) perfect driving record (everyone's allowed one mistake...going 78 when I thought I was in an 80 zone).

Hope that clears up any misunderstanding of who you think I am

btw, would you be upset if I assumed that your avatar was illegal drifting on public road(much more dangerous than a static burnout) without knowing what is REALLY happening??

Lighten up ok, I'm here to talk about my favourite type of car not upset anyone
