I now live in California so my Dad now fully owns and drives our 1600 back in Australia

There are some really nice Datsun's over here, particularly the Z's. I don't have the garage space to restore one so I may buy another one down the road. Really interested in getting one that has an EV conversion, would make a great daily driver

Hi all,

I registered with a new account as i couldn't get the old one going (Previously was MR1600)

Had a circa 10 year break from datsuns, had 2 kids, worked alot and then got the itch back.

Bought a 4 door 80' model Sunny (B310) 1 owner a year ago not because I always wanted a sunny or liked the look of it. It was just in such great condition that i thought why the hell not.

Have since bought another sunny in pretty bad shape but has a running CA18det in it which I will do the transplant over the next few months.

So devastated how face book has taken over this place. I grew up with this forum.. Bit of a ghost town now.

Cheers

I finally remembered my login.

Still got my coupe, just bought a sedan to go with it.

Planning on getting out to some Datto events again.

Hey Nik,

I somehow missed this sorry.

I moved to Switzerland for a bit, now I'm in London. But I'm writing this post whilst drinking a beer in Italy and about to head to France.

Not that many Datsuns out here. I know of a rough LHD 240Z in North London, and one night in Central London I spotted a Vanette. Lots of Zeds and some F10 Cherrys pop up on eBay, but rarely anything else. Strangely I have seen a couple of C210s, one C110 and a few Zeds cruising around London but registered in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia!

Zero Datsuns were spotted in Switzerland.

I did look hard for a Datsun, but couldn't find anything. So I bought a new Datsun instead:

It's not a 180SX, but in fact a 200SX, as sold in Europe. I've done a few long trips around the UK in it and it's super reliable, bur doesn't have that old Datsun feeling (vague steering, no power, delayed everything, all the things that make us love them).

Still here, got to drive my 510/1600 when I went back to Australia for a visit for a few weeks but don't own one here in California

Still see the odd 510 and Z on occassion and a few nice old Datsun pickup trucks too. I don't have the room for one anymore so might be a while. Importing my Datsun back in Australia to the USA is not completely out of the question but I'd need to be earning more money to afford that and keep it, and convince the missus it is a sound decision as well!
