Shit I can't believe you lot moaning about the HUGE distance to the Mount!! WHATEVER!! Well if any ARE interested in the Mount, if it's say... Saturday avo next week... then you could possible tent it on my lawn and have some drinks too... I don't think I'm busy that weekend...

Saturday would suit me better cause I've gotta work in the morning. So that throws out any ideas of me goin Friday.

Hey Alistair, good to see a few more pics of the beast Yeah, you're STILL beating me with my build progress!!

So is that going to be a monthly Escort cruise or an oldschool one?!? You lot should all come down to the Mount

Sounds pretty good to me then!

Yeah well not being near my computer cause I was in Auckland didn't help We only had 3 Dattos after the show on Sat anyway. My phone went flat when I got to town and had no charger either SUCKED ASS!! Otherwise I would have tried to get hold of someone somehow! I know we WERE invited after I said something But I mean if you wanted more then it'd pay not to just head up the topic as ESCORT MEET etc. Just an idea... Cool cars too by the way

I might be interested aye... depends when it will be though. Got Datto cruise to South Island at the end of Feb, so sometime AFTER that would be cool

If you wanted numbers then you should have run an OLDSCHOOL cruise... not just an Escort one! We could have had 5 DOCNZ Dattos meeting at Cornwall Park before we went to the show on Sat. What day did you lot end up meeting anyway and where were those pics from?

If our Datto convoy crosses paths with your Escort one, we'll all have to stop and say hi!

Yeah that's why me and a bunch of the Datto guys and girls aren't going to the drags this year! Taking the risk of parking the Dattos at the show, but probably do our own Datto mish somewhere on Sun after we recover from our booze up Sat night. Rather just go to Nightspeeds and see most of the same cars with less wankers around and a cheaper price!

Yeah man, something that can't be guessed aye! Dyno the only REAL way! Seem to be a few Supercharged 1200s around the country now! The others are using the bigger SC14 unit from the 1G-GZE though on A series and a CA18DET... now without the T Guess it could now be called a CA18DEZ

Why so many so soon? Problem with the head being warped or cracked or something?

If goin L20, might as well make up a L31 stroker Haha, that's ME coming down! But yes there will be a mint 120Y SSS sedan from out your way following us in the growing Datto convoy down to Dunedin.

Why so many times? Are you a mechanic or something?

What are you finding hard about setting the valve clearances?? That's one of the EASY jobs when you know the correct process!

Yeah I'm with the others... WTF is an A20?!? Heaps of datto info at http://www.datsun.co.nz Kerryn with the SR20DET 1200 ute is DRFGRL There are PLENTY of different engine and aspiration options for the B210s, but as always it fully depends on amount of money and commitment you've got! I'll be down in Welly on Waitangi weekend, would be keen to come meet up with ya and check this beast out! Prob won't have any of my Dattos down there though... will have to see. Otherwise there will be a convoy of Dattos heading down to Dunedin at the end of Feb for our big Southern Festival of Speed show/meet. Gimme a yell on 027 2548017 if you are keen.

Hope all that go have a wicked time! Couldn't make it this time, kids presents to buy, cars to fix, short of money etc Better be some pics up of the night though!! I also wanna see K1's ute dry out a patch of driveway and get some smoke goin, time for MORE 1200 rubber on that driveway

Well IF I can make it, I'll be keen to come for convoy mish with everyone, as long as I can get away from work early enough!

Oh, sorry K2. Just thought it was a combined effort cause it's advertised on the DOCNZ forum too Yes you are right, K1's ute has changed HEAPS though since I last saw it... that's why I only mentioned the 1200, of course I'm comin to see the Crown too! I'm still waitin for a ride in this BEAST!

Will have to see how much time and money I have for the weekend. I've SOOO gotta come check out the ute though! But you'll have it at my place for New Years anyway won't ya? Could bring the 240C and crash out in that... Will let ya know K1

Only thing that makes the difference between 1-3-4-2 and 1-2-4-3 is the camshaft. The bottom end stays the same with both orders, 1-4 are always at TDC at the same time and same with 2-3, so it all just depends which cylinder they wanted to make fire first. Michael said bout the 1-5-3-6-2-4 order, they can get REALLY confusing! On a straight six you've got 1-6 together, 2-5 and 3-4. So this means you can have possible firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4 1-2-3-6-5-4 1-5-6-3-2-4 1-2-6-3-2-4 But that's just with that crankshaft setup... also possible for a straight six to be 1-3-5-6-4-2 1-4-5-6-3-2 1-3-6-5-4-2 1-4-6-5-3-2 Lucky I didn't pick a V10 or something!

I might head up to it this time, dunno if it'll be in a Datto or the Primera yet though

Oh well, was worth a shot!! Lucky I'm pretty comfortable here in this hole of mine Sorry Kerryn, that rule only applied to the tent! I don't remember hearing anything about the flat!!

Ok, I'm taking back what I said before... Hamilton chicks AREN'T easy

Great to hear it was a good night! I WILL be there next time for sure!!
