It's true that a good driver can favor one car through and push another around. I have no doubt that this was happening in the shooting of this ad. However, the Holden's special handling package might have very well improved it's handling. If GM/Holden spent the money making this "Radial Tuned" package, there's little doubt it was a far step up over normal stock. The other cars were plain jane stock. Think if you owned one of those and bought and installed after market sway bars, shock, bushes and springs. You'd expect an inprovement, right? I got a laugh watching the Plymoth! That was sold as the Satelite here in the states and Hell Yes that car was VERY arse happy! You had to be carfull to keep that baby straight in a pinch. I wipped it around a few time myself.

Good Info! There's a set of the 13X7's on ebay now. Too bad they won't fit on my dime, since I have a big brake swapperoo. I have a set of the 14X5.5's here in the house. I don't know if I'm going to use them or not. Too American style for me. The funny thing is, My Japanese freind is always looking for Libras to ship home. They are popular there because they ARE American style! I told him I swap them for a set of Wats. Attached - photo ripped from the ebay ad for the 13X7's. They must of had like a 25 mm offset or something close to fit a 7'' wheel under the 510 fenders.

I've got a selection of Technical service bulletins, Most concerning the 74/75 electronic ignition (The big box in the kick panel type) and the 260Z refit (Wrap the fuel rail)

Do you notice that They've listed both the TORC show and the Japanese Classic Cars show as an official event on their celebration calendar? I wonder if any Nissan corporate officer even knows waht a Japanese Classic car show is?

You admit the truth! Someone did a phenomenal job putting this together

For your enjoyment a scan of the Pete Brock Interview and BRE Roadster Preparation. http://public.fotki.com/DatsunVic/imported-cars-magaz/

Where ever DaddyZ goes, there's a sudden Datsun Majority

Well, moved or not, Let's look at the truth. When our beloved Nissan was actually Nissan, The cars in question were NOT truly held in a manner suitable for a "Heritage Collection" The dusty warehouse on Griffith, Between Broadway and Main was never a "Museum". There was never a "Curator". Every so often, someone would replace a dust cover, If there was a dust cover for the car at all. It was not open for viewing, and if you did get in, you were quite dismayed by the conditions they were being stored in. basically the cars were pushed in to a corner. Could we really expect the new management to respect these cars when it was obvious they were getting little respect in the past? In comparison, The Toyota Museum, four miles away was a million miles ahead! If a percentage of these cars are now on display in a museum, that still an improvement. It is a shame that corporation that has a heritage to be proud of, ignores that fact completely. I can only take heart in the fact that many individual employees were Nissan history buffs, even if it wasn't a corporate philosophy.

The SPL212 Roadster was bought by a Nissan employee and acquaintance of mine, who would like to remain un-named. I'm hoping he's not your source for the crushing news. If so, then I would also have to believe the unbelievable!

See the jet Covers? They are long, with two screws. Only 50mm's and really rare 67 ~ 70 44mm's are like that

And that one is "Rockin trip 50 Miks"

The correct grammar in this case is - "This bad oscars even rocking trip Mik 40's". Ya gots to dig the lingo

Max - You gots a photo of the Italian Momo's? Couldn't find a photo on the web I know - Were hijackin this thread - sorry. I just love talking about wheels

Yea that's about the going rate for used Oni's 15X7.5 @+5 Si spensive~!

Mohamed, Post photos PLEASE!

I guess some people hate dish IMPUL RS III 7.0J-17 (+38) 9H-114.3 クロームメッキ 20,000円／1台分4本（税込） P11、P12、A32、A33、W10、W11、C23、etc.

Trish - I thought they had 7'' Libras. Obviously I'm incorrect

Trish, They work. They are most likley 14X5.5 @+15 A little "Tucked in" looking. That fitment is very popular for the Datsun Roadsters. Use them until you can find the Z fittment - 14X7 @0, then sell them to a Roadster owner to fund your purchase.

I think this may come into a hobby enough to warrant me buying this. Thanks Carl. I did not know there was a "lite", affordable version of the venerable PhotoShop. The whole shebang is too extensive (and expensive) for any, other than a graphic artist.

I do. I was trying to avoid hurting even my extra copy, but your right. If I want to do it right, There's not much avoiding it. Although, this whole exercise is a learning process. I recently came into a tresure trove of Nostalgic Hero's and other Japanese published vintage car magazine special editions. I'm learning to scan them properly to share them with you all. One is of particular value to me (and some of you). It's the 1982 Silhoutte Formula Pictorial (Offical Program publication?). unfortunately, It's too large of a format for my scanner, and it would have to be done in pieces and stitched together. The binding of this book is shot so taking it apart to scan flat will not be a problem.

I scanned the article about my 71 truck from Lightning Mag. However, Most of my photos are on the crease. What can I do to stitch the two halves together? I hop I don't have to by a $600 photo edit program! http://public.fotki.com/DatsunVic/photo-artical-of-my/ Oh. Can anyone Translate for Me?

That's one of the best written Wikki's I've read yet.

I've only seen one other

Hey Don't pick on him too much !!! Anybody with an avatar photo of vintage 1982 Volk racing mesh can't be too bad!!

Frekin AWESOME Link Lachlan! Good Find!!!
