Haven't you blokes got enough to do?

Are your cars in such a state of completion that there's nothing left to do?

You must have met 1200 drivers that are a pain in the tit as well.

The thing about 1600's is that we have to admit that they have a far bigger range of Engines, gearboxes and other components than we have.

Its just that we prefer A Series stuff---- it doesn't make us in any way superior.

Just remember, we are all in this together.Re 1600 Drivers Suck

are you a 1600 driver or 1200 cos i'm neither im a 120y guy i was just saying that there shouldn't be an attitude, we are after the same goal cool car that goes hard and looks good not who has the better model datsun

That's right. I have noticed an increase in snobbery in 1600 circles. Take for example the Datsun Nationals in Adelaide this year, the caveat.."preference will be given to 510s for track events'. It almost turns me off going, except that I want to go to show 'em how to do it..

Owning a 1200 is about being an outcast from the rest of society, present company excluded, where we are very welcome.

I think 510 owners are becoming Roadster owners in the superiority complex stakes. The lack of parts availability has created a niche for egotists who can't succeed in other areas of their life.

That's why I limit my harrassment of 120Y, 1000 or Sunny owners. I'm of the opinion that if you're a Datsun owner, you are a bit twisted, this makes you "OK" in my books.

So let's promote "no Attitude" as a Datsun owner quality.

i have nuhting againest 1600s and i dont know anyone who drives a 1600. so well yeah there ya go ........

Don't know any 1600 owners, don't see many on the road here, don't understand the fuss.

My pet gripe would be the guys I like to refer to as "young, dumb, and full of H.P.", they obviously have no taste, no mechanical ability, no originality, and no taste. EDIT: Did I mention no taste?

I am sick of seeing countless numbers of Skylines dragging there arses on the road, with a big set of wheels and an exhaust that drones like a 44 gallon drum.

Not to mention the ways in which their actions are ruining it for the rest of us!

I only wish I could make it to south Aus to kick some 1600 ass. The misses is due for our second child that week so I dont think Ill stretch the freindship and go datsun racing for the weekend.
I noticed the Datsun nationals advertising mainly 1600 stuff its a shame. I think a neat fast datsun no matter what model should be allowed to enter not only 1600's.

Here in NZ I don't think there's the same level of '1600 superiority complex' you Aussies talk of. Maybe it's because as Matt said there are bugger all 1600s in NZ, I don't know. But as the owner of a 1600 and a 1200 and even a Z, I haven't noticed any snobbery.

Actually, round here I have noticed an increasing number of 1600 owners that don't seem to care for datsun's at all. I got my 1600 cause I am a lover of all things datsun, and when I got it all the 1600 owners were datsun lovers. But since having mine so many people are getting them, and have no respect for them. It disgusts me. There are so many getting around now that are just ruined because the people who own them just have no idea.
I'm now sorry that I defended these people when this thread was started

thank you,

there is one 1600 driver thats been seriously ####ting me, i see him like once or twice a week on the way to work and he refuses to look at my datsun, im always looking across at him and stuff and he never acknowledges anything

worst part is that hes 1600 looks like its all been done up for rally and im driving my rally car so he isnt even acknowledging a fellow rally car!

but hey ya get that

"You can tell a 1600 driver, But you cant tell them much"
