Looks like they are sticking to their guns and focusing on zeds. I'm not criticising, unfortunatly they will get complaints either way.

I find it strange that although it is pitched firmly as a "Z" nationals, it is still "open to all Nissan/Datsun Vehicles".

If it is to be a "Z" event, why invite others ? The more cynical might suggest that "all Nissan/Datsun Vehicles" are invited (perhaps tolerated might be a better word) purely to make the event more financially viable ?

There is no way they can win. The 2009 event was made totally open with no focus on Zeds. We received complaints from Zed owners saying it was not focused enough and still received compaints from other nissan and datsun owners saying it was Zed focused.

Guys,

Just as a matter of interest, are we on this site the equivelant of the two old farts in the Muppets who used to sit in the balcony and just watch the world go by?

Why dont we hold an event in Melbourne in 2011 ? and if its a matter of money, well Im going to jump from that balcony and kick things off, I will tip in a $1000 in 2010 before the event to help finance it because I well intend to have my Z finished by then and it would be a privelage to have it along side the many other fine examples ppl are working on here.

Now you can all let the knives start flying saying it would be imposible for us to do so........

The bigger the event and the wider the marque of Nissan/Datsun vehicles on show the more interesting is the spectatorship. Dam fine by me!! Lynton 8)

Well said Chris... As long as you have fun, and there are heaps of great looking/sounding Nissan/Datsun cars, that's all I'm interested in seeing. Call it what you want...who cares?

My opinion is that there are not enough Zs to make an event just a Z event. I mean, I spent 2-3 hours at Warwick for the car show this year. If it was only Zs, I would have made the huge drive just for 1 hours worth of viewing. Yeah right! Some of my favourite looking cars at the nationals were actually 1600s/510s.

Yeh i have to agree.
Zeds are my fav datsun nissan but i think a show of all the same model of car might be a bit boring

I owned a datsun 1200 before i had my 240z and was a regular on datsun1200.com they seemed to think all zed drivers are prats. I would like to prove them wrong
meh


240z in the making

Ha it's just down the road!  I love Goulburn, beautiful town - a friend who grew up there calls it God's Country and I have to agree!
