Hi, Many of you are probably searching through a few of sites in search for next (or first) Datsun. At least I was in last few months, though for something a bit more British In the meantime a combination of covid lockdowns and somehow uninspiring 9-5 created prime conditions for me to spend tens of hours on a project to optimise something that takes 10 mins, a search aggregator! With some head scratching, learning about fronted frameworks, helping Jeff Bezos jump on his little rocket and a lot of help from my better half to make it look good Quisit.io was born. The idea from the start was to build something that would be helpful for others and I'm at a stage of development where I'd like to open the door a little bit, gather feedback and decide where to take it next. Being on this forum for few years it was my first choice to share before going to FB groups and others. If you want to give it a go and let me know what you think about it, perhaps suggest few improvements or features. Contact me through the form on the website itself of just throw me your email in reply/PM so I can create your account. Cheers, Kuba

Yeah, that's my old car and it looks like the seller is looking to make a cheeky 10k profit!

Almost exact year later and I've finally forced myself to put my car up for sale! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/383941792029

Hang on tight, I was in the same shoes few years back. Almost settled on an 86 and then out from nowhere a '77 260z popped up checking all the right boxes! Unless you're dead set on matching numbers series one

Been to the SDC skids, they're good fun but not really what I'm looking for. MX5 events look interesting, thanks for the info! Will need to wait for the whole pandemic to finish though to get some in car instruction, seems like this is off the cards for now. Our cars already look way too look alike, at least the seats should be different I have saas seats, they're quite low but there's way to much foam. If only the padding would be removable!

Hi Guys, I'm looking to take my 260z for a track day around Sydney, Eastern Creek or Wakefield, and wondering if there are any members who take their z's to the track? Can't say I'm too experienced driving around the track, even less so with a classic so would be great to meet and hear some tips in between the sessions. On the side note any recommendations for seats which will seat low enough for 1.88m dude with helmet?

Thanks man, I'm running 16" rota's with 0 offset from what I recall and 205/55 tyres.

Took me the better part of isolation, but did my first bodywork and painting job. Finally I don't need to bother with ramps to get out of driveway!

Created a little abomination by sticking together ebay special retro style radio and original hitachi fascia, few finishing touches and it'll be only distinguishable by the little buttons instead of traditional ones. If there's any anyone on the forum with 3d printer the fascia could be easily printed and you have a good alternative to retro-sounds without breaking the bank!

Anyone's using the brake kit mentioned in this video?

Was close to it but the sale fell through, may still put it up for sale at some point but not in a rush.

Hi Guys, Updated with Ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/383941792029 Certain member on this forum is poking me to sell my Z for a few months now and I'm starting to seriously consider it. It's not an easy move on my part as the car puts a big grin on my face most of the time (other than those few times it decided to snap a throttle cable, shit its clutch slave cylinder or suffocate my better half with fumes were exceptions ) but a change could be a good thing. I'm toying with idea of something more track focused (Lotus Elise, Super 7), something modern (1 Series M) or another classic (budget auto 240z or Alfa series 105). Where I live parking space is a luxury so my red z would need to go to make space for the next car! I bought the car in 2017 from a seller in Newcastle, car has been restored by him and converted to a VL Commodore sourced RB30 in 2011. Rust repairs and paint has been done around the same time. Body condition is very good in my opinion, no visible rust in usual places and very straight with panels nicely lined up. It's not a concourse condition though, few rock chips here and there, a crack in the hatch hinge area. Interior is complete with all gauges working, dashboard without any cracks, centre console had cracks repaired and is out of the car at the moment to be painted. Mechanically car is in good condition as well, maintained by Brian Potts during my ownership. He looked over the conversion and mentioned that it's very clean. There are few quirks such as homemade fan controller but all documented together with invoices for parts, engineering certificate and more. Few slight improvements made of past years are new wheels (Rota 16") with KYB shock inserts, rebuilt drum brakes, upgraded cabin air and wiper motors and plugged up the hatch area to minimise the fumes in cabin. A number of members from this forum and Sydney Datsun Club have seen the car and said only good things after a quick look around. In terms of issues, there are a few minor ones. Second gear changes crunch until warmed up, lowest point on the under-body is exhaust flange - if you scrape over some speed bumps or steep driveways, bolts can get loose and create an exhaust leak. At parking lot speeds, throttle response can be twitchy, solved with new fuel pump. At the moment this is only expression of interest as my mind is not yet made up, but I hope to make a decision rather soon. If you're looking for a reliable classic to have fun on the back-roads with a bit more modern engine send me a PM and let me know your budget!
