This guy has a serious Figaro fetish. I think he needs quite urgent help actually.

Looks like he has a fetish for multiples lol. "If i can have more than 5 of the same vehicle, ill take them"

Looking awesome Bart - although this has made me think of all my stuff thats currently outside. Time to build some makeshift shelters!!

Spotted at VinZ

For inspiration

 I thought this was LD - but might be a 3Litre Merc motor - still, you can make a diesel boogie

Grandads  '63 MK1 Cortina, would always wash it for him in my early teens, on the back lawn (1/4 acre) so i could do skids.

Inherited it in '09 and still have it. Hopefully get it to Ch Ch soon and get it going again.

What are basing this information on!!!!

I think he meant L28ET - just my 2c, this thread is amaz,

That'll make it look a bit like a 4 door version of a buick sedanette / coupe - love the 50's slope style and the rear wheel spats.

looking good

Yep - we use it (Pacer Grape Wash)at work on our Merc minibuses - great stuff, ill be taxing a bit of that to try on all things Jap at home lol

Im no expert but might be a good time to remove some stuff like the intercooler to give it a good cleanout too.

And as above look into getting a couple of new hoses.

I had a clip come undone on the air cleaner box (TD27T D21) and that sounded like shit was gonna hit the fan. Its always good to find the source of scary noises and find they are not terminal.

The one time i mistakenly let someone fill er up, the bitch snapped the key off in the fuel flap. Luckily I thought i had the keyring with 4 other datsun keys but no.

Proceeded to yell at attendant and workers while paying for gas all while wondering how to start the thing up.

Started the old 1200 up with only the stub of the key left - Datsun for the win.

Hey - Thats ED

I was all set to ask questions about this car on the ferry - but had to move off the boat as soon as i got to my van.

What a great old car, looks like it was a cool trip.

I used to go on NZDatsuns.com,

 

I took my Valiant to the NZ Datsuns Grasskana.

 

I did the most doughnuts.

 

They didn't care.

 

Picks/thread for your GTR please I'd like to see it too.

Doughnuts are awesome - i like the sprinkles ones

Heres my Fav vid of the great man - ill be watching from the couch - sandown's gonna be different with all the retro liveries, i hope more retro for bathurst.

aawww yyea sick C34

Wow cool turbo setup

While we are on the "big ups to CUL8R" band wagon, ill throw in my 2c.

Chris is a real GC, not only in a work sense but outside work too. Always willing to help, or find a way to help anyone that needs it, no questions asked.

Havent been in the new branch yet, will do soon. Drove past and thats off the chain flash.

Tell the boss you've got a great team and he owns too many racecars (ive still got a suit and helmet - he cant race them all at once lol)

Reviving this Post - much excite see the vids above

Heres some old pics as the ones fromt he post have gone

Dad has been busy stripping and rebuilding this - so far has the Frame stripped and re powder coated in red and had a general tidy up.

I NEED HELP

The engine is a Yamaha DS6 from the 70's and when it was running sounded like this thing - bloody awesome

Heres what kinda bike the engine is off

Anyway it blew up from running too lean. it melted a piston among other things and the spares we have are all haddit.

We ran some carbs we found as it used to run on methanol and they were so huge the engine would flood. It apartently had around 40Hp. It was a prick to start and was generally

missing bits and pieces aswell (no clutch or kickstart)

We are thinking for ease of running it etc to find a complete engine with the clutch and kick start like an RD250 as they look similar to keep with the theme of the Kart. Then we can kick start it, and

use the clutch to move off.

Any help locating an engine like this, Yamaha Parallel Twin 250cc (or 350 but would have to keep quiet as 250cc is max allowed) 2 stroke, would be much appreciated as there is a big meeting in Hawkes Bay in January and we would like to have it running then.

Yea Fizz hard - love a good 2 smoke on full song, but your chainsaws are not oldschool enough lol

Canadian for Lyfe haha no chain brake or safety stuff here

Highly recommend Gordon Milne Paint & Panel Ltd - they fixed my 120Y under Swann Insurance and matched a custom colour - they also painted "SKDMRX" - Johns V8 Cedric from memory.

Diesel engine? It better be a Nissan LD28 lol - the Bedford mr whippy that comes to us still smokes us out while shes parked up. mmmmm diesel
