Steady on there. Less of the "Guru" stuff please! Most UK-market cars, and just about all Japanese-market cars, came with the front wing / fender indicator repeaters - but without the rear ones seen on the USA / Canada market cars. I don't have any data about when they stopped using the front ones on the Australian-market cars, but the early cars had them - didn't they? For the most part, I would expect the NZ-market cars to conform pretty closely to the Australian-market cars. Maybe there was the odd difference and change here and there? Considering the unexplained / undocumented spec. and component changes we see on most of the early "Export" RHD cars, I would not be surprised if there were some differences with other market versions of Export RHD cars. How's that for answering a question without answering it?! It looks a nice car, kyteler. I for one would like to hear more about it. Steve ( sjcurtis ) will be wanting VIN number / engine number data from it to add to his Export RHD database, I'm sure. I've heard about some nice early cars living in NZ, but have not seen pics of very many. Good to see! Cheers, Alan T.

No Guus, Two completely different cars. The car that Schuller / Weitman used on the Hugenotten Ralley was "TKS 33 SA 8514" ( a full "Works" car built in Japan ) - which Fall & Wood drove on the 1973 Monte Carlo Rally. It came back to Old Woking Service Station in the UK after the Hugenotten. Quite distinctive with its Overfenders and the sponsorship from "Nippon Speed Car". It must have had the Overfenders fitted after the Monte. Here's a pic:

1973 Tour De Corse. ( the island of Corsica - French territory, for those who might be wondering ). Crewed by Y. Nishimura & A. Tanaka. Fairlady 240Z - privateer car / privateer entry. Not a "Works" built car - but it had lots of Nissan Sports Option parts on it. Sponsored by Winston tobacco brand and Esso.They were journalists. They actually finished the rally ( no mean feat on its own ) and came in something like 18th as far as I remember. Alan T. :classic:

That is GREAT news. If you need any little bits or pieces, let us know. I'm sure everybody will be more than happy to help out. Very happy for you.:classic: Alan T.

They're up! Exactly 23 pics. ( spot the significant number ). Thanks to our Administrators for creating the new section, and for approving the pics so quickly. This event saw Nissan celebrating another year of racing success ( the 2003 JGTC crown ) and linking it to their current product. All of the Nissan Gallery showrooms in Japan had a visit in 2003 from a selection of sporty models, and actual race cars, from Nissan's long history. Hope the pics prove of interest. Alan T.
