I made it. Went on a cruise to Hawkesbury Heights, over 3 hrs (down in daylight) from home and 3 hrs (back at night) to home no breakdowns. Got on the motorway north of Newcastle set up in 5th with the rpm at about 3700 on the Tacho all the way to Hornsby (used minor bursts of throttle to separate out from the occasional traffic). joined the moving car park on the roads thru Pennant Hills, Thornleigh, turning for Castlehill, Kellyville and thru Windsor to Richmond. Short run towards Penrith on Castlereagh road to Agnes Banks, cross the Nepean on the rickety old low water bridge at Yarramundi , then of exorcising the suspension up the pass to top of the escarpm…

I have noticed here in Australia there are two very distinct classes of Datsun enthusiasts. In the blue corner we have the 1600/1200/utes/sedans/wagons and in the red corner we have 240/260/280/Z cars. Can anyone shed some light on the reasons for the seperations between Datsun enthusiasts? Cheers

Cheers Chris

Well I was in the local model shop today near uni, trying to kill some time between uni finishing, and the drinking starting, as usual on the prowl for a nice and ok priced 240z model. Well having just about given up, finding only a 432R model, I looked up on the shelf to see a limited edition re-released model by (can't remember, could be koyosho? some japanese company). However here is the problem, it costs a mint, and the guy wont open the box unless i buy it, in which case i can open the box anyhow. Well its a re-released model kit for one of the EAS cars, its a good scale 1:12, I'd rather have a stock looking car, does anyones local model shop have one of the 240Z ki…

MX5 seats

They're finally in!! I had originally intended to use the front rail mounts and some flat steel and have the rails extend past the rear mounting holes on the floor. However, on the passenger side the rear rail holes lined up perfectly with the floor mounts, so I then measured 320mm forward from the rear holes and drilled a hole though each rail which lined up with the front Z seat mount hole. This meant that the front rail mount extends past the front floor mount by about 80mm or so. Ultimately, if I am happy with them mounted this way I will cut of part of the front mounting bracket. On the drivers side I found that the seat rails were about 25mm wider than the passenge…
