Hey guys, Firstly sorry i didn't make it to the JAG club the other night. If your looking for a cruise thats a little hilly and high speeds, the 20th annual Picnic at hanging rock is on this coming Sunday (11th). I know there are other clubs doing a trip up there (Victorian Monaro Club are meeting at Calder Park at 7am and heading of at 7:30 for example). I'm already heading up, but if it was something people were interested in (i know its really late notice) could possibly be arranged Link is here: http://www.mradmc.com.au/ Massive family event, $20 per car load entry

ill be there

When i got my BP Ultimate 98 octane fuel the other day i noticed a pack of 10 tablets on the counter which you add one tablet into the tank and its meant to give more power, more milage and cleaner emissions. Was about $35 for 10 tabs. Anyone heard of or used these? Does it make any difference?

Greetings all Well i had the first class on Thursday night, which unfortunatly went off with many problems as first classes do. The extraction system in the room was not working as it had been switched off at a master shift which the teacher didnt have access to, stupid school forgetting classes started today turned it off. Because of this we didnt get to have a go with the MIG welders, however we were allowed to use the oxy's as the fumes are not as bad. Did get some paper work on welding from a text book which i assume we get every week so will look at getting this up online for people to have a read through and try and pick up the basic idea of welding. Only advice i can give so far is practise makes perfect....you really cant pick it up first go....i put a hole through the steel (and this was a fat bit of steel as well). But with practise i eventually managed to weld two bits of steel together.

this isnt exactly cool as far as im concrened but it says rare http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-DATSUN-Z-ZX-SHIRT-hawian-240z-260z-280zx-300zx_W0QQitemZ140038754735QQihZ004QQcategoryZ52679QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Considering purchasing an auto rotisserie just to make life easier with re building. Has anyone used them to do their projects? Does anyone know where you can get these and how much? Is anyone willing to part with one they no longer use? (PM me) Cheers

I have heard about a place in warnambool that has a massive tank of "acid" that they drop cars into and it strips the car of all paint etc and rust? has anyone heard of this? has anyone used this? costs etc? also, is anyone familiar with one in the Melbourne metropolitan area? thanks

for someone who has never used a mig welder in their life but interested to learn can anyone recommend somewhere to learn? I have kept an eye on short courses which seem like a safe bet, but if anyone has any better ideas that would be great

i ended up having the alternator re conditioned and i havent had a problem since, except the battery did die after not having touched the car for 6 weeks

Herald Sun Cars Guide- 2nd June 2006 Datsun is not dead. Nissan has no immediate plans to dust off the name-plate it shelved more than 20 years ago, but admits the Datsun name could be used in the future. The Japanese carmaker changed the name of its brand from Datsun to Nissan in 1983. If Nissan does reinstate the name, it will probably be used as a youth brand in the US. Toyota has introduced the Scion brand to the US, an arm of the Japanese carmaker aimed at attracting young people who would have not considered a Toyota. Nissan has investigated launching a youth brand using the Datsun name, but decided it is not needed at the moment. "We have less of an issue in terms of the average age of our car buyers (than Toyota)," Nissan global communications vice-president Simon Sproule says. "We are not struggling to attract younger buyers. Frankly at the moment we are still developing the Nissan brand. "We have only just started repairing the Infiniti brand, so to go off and start a new brand with the enormous costs that entails with dealers, brand awareness et cetera; it is not in our plans right now." Infiniti is the luxury arm of Nissan set up in the US in 1989 in a similar way to Toyota's Lexus luxury brand. Infiniti struggled as Nissan came close to shutting down in the mid-90s, mired in debt, until Carlos Ghosn led the company back to profitability. The Datsun brand generates mixed feelings in Australia. Cars such as the 1600 and 240Z have cult status, but others such as the 120Y (120 why?) and 200B (180B with 20 more mistakes) are ridiculed. Sproule says there are mixed feelings about the brand name Datsun around the world. "Any brand carries good and bad baggage," he says. "Some people get very misty-eyed and say, 'Oh, remember when I had a 510 (Datsun 1600) and I thought it was the best car I ever had and why did those idiots change it to Nissan?' "Other people think Datsun is completely irrelevant. They have no knowledge of the brand." "If we were going to use a brand like Datsun, you bet we would do research first." The most appropriate model that Nissan could use to launch a youth brand is the Cube. The next version of the cool, boxy Japanese model will be engineered so it can be sold around the world.

Hi all Just saw in the optus tv programme, tonight (sunday 2nd April) History Channel (Digital 644 or normal channel 20) has a show "Full Throttle" at 6:30pm. Tonight they are focusing on a 1971 240z, doesnt say anything else about it but ive seen the show before and they do some nice work customising and restoring cars... well worth a look i think. Anyone who cant see it at 6:30 im pretty sure history channel has a +2 channel (so would be on at 8:30 instead) wish i saw this earlier as im sure many people would be interested Chris
