Tell them you are driving your Datsun, and then you call and say your car stopped running in a small town called Canby!!!!! Actually, I must agree with those that have claimed a great time at the gathering, whether judged or voting, or not. I have done both. I think this is a highlight of the year. Unfortunately, I'll be out of town this year. Sitting in the airport as I am writing this. Everyone, please post lots of pics!!. Somebody start a "Datsun Driving" photo thread. I'll drink a liter to you all!

Seems someone told me that, on the 240Z anyway, the wiring harness from the MT won't work on the AT. I can't say from personal experience, cause I haven't swapped to an Auto. Might be worth the investigation. I also know the 240z distributor was dual points on the AT. Can't say why the difference.

Kudos, Randy, on the new paint and the deal. You've got a beautiful car there. I'd be proud to own it as I'm sure you are. Especially since, you've made the effort and investment.

HI Dave, Really nice effort, but I think one row of LEDs doesn't cut it. The last pic is pretty nice

Greg, The swap will not require any cutting into the '72 and '73 240s. Only the series one cars '70 and early '71 need the opening expanded. I thought it was because the shifter on the tranny sat farther back. The 4 speeds in our cars match the 5 speeds.

Got a spare $30k lying around. FYI http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971-Datsun-240Z-Vintage-Program-Car_W0QQitemZ330236225282QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330236225282ebayphotohosting

I believe anything you can apply with a syringe will give you a very poor appearance. I saw why mine looked so bad after removing it. 3 different types of adhesive, 2 of which were a tube product. It yielded a very uneven look. Dimples and such. I would suggest you work it to an edge and then apply a spray. Don't oversaturate it, or stick it too early or the figer prints will be permanant. If you replace it, I have found some of the more expensive headliners that are supposed to be closer to the original are no better than what you'd get from MSA for a much better price. My opinion. Good luck!

I have the Tokico setup with their springs and 5 way struts. In my wife's car, it is too stiff. I have ridden in Beandips car and think this is the best solution for a fun street driver. I am planning on replacing her suspension with his setup and installing the Tokicos in my car, where I don't mind the stiffness as much. I bought the Euro spec springs and the struts will come after a couple other projects are done. #1 project is to accumulate $$$$.

Hey Arne, Looks like the plan is coming together. Really looks great. Just a thought. Maybe thats an easier way for me to get the headline glue off for that new headliner B

I happened to get a pic of James personal car. He had 2 other very nice cars, a Z31 and Z33, but I didn't get pics of them. Enjoy.

Why have I not seen this thread before. Oh well, my favorite. Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish. Steven Wright

I have insured by them. Never been dissapointed. They don't like it if you want to drive your car to work once in a while, even to show it off. Not sure what would ever happen if there was an incident, but it is rare. I have 1 Z insured with them and one with Safeco, so it can go to work when ever the mood strikes.

So Bruce, If there are about 100 cars registered for the judging, you think it will top 200 cars? I bet it will beat 200 by quite a few. What is the goal? How many will fit in the area rented? With the swap meet and camping, I'll bet there will be alot to look at.

Perhaps I can tow the Silver with the Burgandy. , In the 2 previous Canby events, a great time was always had. Good Datsun/Nissan folk from all over the western US and Canada. In 2005 a beautiful early 1200 roadster showed. Was bought here locally by someone from Central Canada I think. The restoration they completed was a thing of wonder. It was the highlight of the show, IMO. I think it was the long distance winner as well. Very cool and just some of the things available to see.

Nice Link Juan, I had not seen this club site before. I appreciate it.
