Yeah, we get lots of imports. Nissan Skylines, 300ZX and Pulsar GTiR's and S14 Silvias. Not seen any S13 imports but there are a lot of S13 200SX's here anyway. The ones sold here are still a bit expensive for engine donors but occasionally a cheap one turns up.
Subarus we get Imprezza Sti and WRX as well as Legacy's. Toyota, Supra, Sera and some Corollas. I've seen a few AE86 imports here too. Mitsubishi Evos are the popular one at the moment but the Galants (VR4 or VR6 or something?) and GTO's were popular for a while. GTO's are getting pretty cheap now as are Skyline GTS and four door versions. I looked at a GTS that was

definately!!!

no rotas is a surprise, i guess you dident get many early RX's though to kick off the enthusiasm

do you get all the imports these days such as

nissan skyline
nissan silvia, 180sx, 300zx
nissan gti-r pulsar
mazda familia gtr, gtx
toyota supra, lexus
late model mazda RX7s

There's aren't many Datto enthusiasts here but interest is growing steadily. Old Japanese cars never used to get a mention in classic car magazines but they are beginning to get noticed now. Shame really. It's all a bit too late as there's not many Datsuns left now

I use my 510 for track days now and it can hold it's own against mdern stuff and even some smaller engined Caterhams. That ensured it gets some interest in the pits

The scene if different here to Aus in that there are no old Jap motors with modern turbo power at the drags and no Rotas. Fast fours are generally Escorts with Cossie motors in them. I really need to get a little 1200 out there with a CA18DET to show them the light

not sure, girlock is prob an aussie copy of girling or something

is there many people into dattos in u.k., or do they even know what they are?

ive always had the impressiong that as far as older cars go they like to stick to their own and frown on the japaneese gear, is that true?

one good thing about u.k. is "thunder races"!!!!, i get it on foxtel but im geussing you guys get it on normal t.v., best show ever making up all those cars/contraptions in one day then racing them, what could be more fun?

Hmm, sounds like an Aussie only thing for sure. Is Girlock and Girling the same company do you know? If so there's a chance we got the same callipers etc on another make of car here as a lot of older British cars had Girling brakes.

I'm pretty sure the A10 and B310 brakes we got here were all pretty much the same.

this is how i put stanza struts in...

my site

um, i think girlock is an aussie brand???

anyway im guessing the stanza struts you had (mate put in b110) are not the best ones we can find here and therefore are similar to sunny, where as the ones i recommend on my site have the bigger discs and calipers which can not be found on a sunny

thats my best guess, becuase im pretty sure ive heard of people with sunnys (b310) putting stanza struts in and that wouldnt make sense

What I wrote wasn't that clear. The A10 and B310 are the some bolt pattern here too but neither cars are that easy to find for parts. Wreckers here do not have Datsuns at all. Ever I have had to hoard Datsun parts like crazy to have enough stuff available to play with.

Glad those books are of some use, Errol. I forgot those A10 SSS bits so I'm sending them separately.

Eddie,
We were lucky in OZ as the 310 struts we got here have the same bolt pattern as the A10 (stanza) struts.

By the way I got an extremely interesting package of reading material yesterday. It will make the C30 project much easier.

Your the king Eddie

Thanks for the info guys,
I want to put 16x6.5 rims with 195/45 tyres on my coupe but I don't want to flare the front guards. Does anyone know what offset to use to get this size rim to fit using standard coupe struts. I'm going to roll the inner lip but I want to keep the standard look on the outside.
Thanks for any help

I gave a pair of A10 Violet struts (Stanza in Oz) to a friend who fitted them on his B110. He had to use the A10 bottom arms, ball joints and steering arms but from what i gather it bolted straight in.
I've compared the A10 stuff with Sunny (B310) and it looks the same so I don't see why they wouldn't bolt straight in but like the a10 bits you'll have to use the bottom arms complete as the bolt spacing on the strut bottom is different.
