i live in launnie, picked up a bargain, 75 120y hatch for $220 and yes it does go (most common answer to "i bought a datto for $220") bought some mags of an old galant from murphy st wreckers for $80 talked him down from $100, bought some wheelnuts from that tinting place on the pointy end of wellington and bathurst st (near metro) for $30 which is semi cheap i spose, dont have my licence yet so its got no rego, but i've joined the motorsport club of tas and planning on competing in motorkhanas and autocross with it. im currently using my cousins 75 "corolla" (can i say that here).
Look i could go on for days, im in the process of building my website so you can all have a geeze at it soon.

Goodaye I am from hobart
I used to own a datsun 1200 coupe but unfortunatley it never made it onto the rd.
Also owned 200bsx with worked l20b and twin solexs (went pretty well) and then i had a nissan bluebird Trx 1984 model.
The only thing i didn't like about datsun were the diffs, the only one that seemed to keep upto me was the bluebird 10 bolt (H190)

Good to know that there many datto lovers in tassie!! Bridgewater wreckers?? they pretty good ey?> i mite have to travel down from launnie and have a gander!!

I see a few datto 1200 utes around Launceston, 3 ive seen are nice, barrys white 1200 utes pretty smick, dat16's ute i FINALLY saw the other day those falkens look good!! umm and some guy whose girlfreind i work with light blue ute with sidepipe

DOes anyone know of many people with the 1200 coupes or wagons? ive only seen 1 coupe and that was yesterday parked on wellington st...
Surely we should get a meet together or what is that club that you talked about floody?
And can someone please find me a 1200 wagon around tassie!!!!!! I WANT ONE!!!

Cheers
Dave

hi there , theres heaps of us datto 1200 fanatics in tassie, for pics of my car see my profile, i buy my car stuff from everywhere from around tassie to Queensland (my new 5 speed), i think brigewater wrecker is my fave (although i havent been there for years now) they had probably 8 in there main paddock when i was last there, although they have probably been crushed and have new stock now.

Oh , also, I think there may be some sort of Datsun/Nissan club down here, as I have occasionally seen a big group of Datsuns/older Nissans parked up together here and there (last time I saw them was at the university a couple of months ago), but I have no idea who to get hold of or what the story is.

Here is my modern Datsun...

G'day guys,
I'm down here in Hobart, I've only got a late model Datsun unfortunately - a 1989 R31 Skyline sedan.
I do call myself a Datsun lover though, I've had a B10 2 dr sedan (R.I.P), 120y, and a 200B SX at various times.
I'd like to get a 240K coupe and build a GT-R lookalike with a stroker L28.. Came very close a year ago but just missed out on a low km 240k for $1300
For now my old datsun plans for the near future are to buy an L28 to build slowly. The plan is to fabricate some mounts so that I can sit the cleaned up motor+headers+triple carbs in my loungeroom with a plexiglass top as a coffee table.. (probably with the crank and internals removed though, at least until it was all machined up).
