I got confirmation today. The datto is alive and will be tuned later today. pick up tommorow!!

nice interior there leigh ... luv the plush red carpet, i reckon the red interior in the whites a great match.

well i've had a little set back for anything i was planning for tonight ... the guy doing my rear brake shoes had to order pad material from melbourne and it didn't turn up but should be here tomorrow lunchtime.
.... fingers crossed .......

Well my coolant leak was just the overflow bottle (phew) cant wait to see all the dats and catch up with you guys guna be a awsome weekend i havent polished my virgin paint either just guna wash it

Well im all done and 100%, just polishing now

Good work lads i cant wait!

Well i have been having fun trying to get the car sorted. The shop had given us the blue slip to get registered, but apparantly on the condition that we replaced the ball joints, which i happened to find out yesterday. so they wouldnt let it leave the shop until they were done. So after much mucking around I have found a set in melb, so the shop was convinced and I will wack them in on thursday night. Phew!

Cheers

well fellas its datnats eve eve. I'm just about ready now. got my wheel alignment all sorted and spent the afternoon with sikyne trying to dial the suspension a bit more as it is just a massive handful at the moment!

it is a little better but you cant really expect a fresh car to be a good handler its gonna take lots of track time to get it just right.

tomorrow i have to make up some brackets to mount my race seat, fix a massive exhaust leak and lots of other little things that will no doubt once again fill my entire day.

to all those who have put in the rediculous hours and prevailed well done, for those who have tried and not quite made it good on you for trying. the datsun community salutes you

bring it on!

Are we going to have a repeat of last nationals lag of 20 datto mechanics getting your car ready for scruitiniring (spelling?)?

i freaking hope not! oh yeah i'm just running with the 'baby' tune factory 6 psi which creeps up to ten in the higher revs. not enough time to get it back to the dyno and its not all about power... apparently

I hope everyone has a sweet weekend.

I want to see lots of photos and videos.
