New Zealand Datsun Club

Well took her for her first big trip, went to nelson on friday night and just got back into chch today. One of the best drives ive had the car was nearly flawless. the front airdam almost fell off overtaking a bit too fast and the exhaust scrapes going through big dips so a few things to sort oh and...

Its road legal!!!!! Got the tag this afternoon then trailered to get the WOF. I've been driving it all afternoon. Went to Littleton then back up over dyers pass. It drives so good just a couple of small things to sort. One brake pad is rubbing on the rotor so that just needs the caliper bracket mach...

I decided ill just trailer it in just to save the headache if things go wrong. On a bigger front Donn text today asking for the ownership papers for the car to confirm the chassis number but i havnt got one. Turns out some lazy idiot an NZTA entered the chassis number in but missed the "HGS130&...

Its tempting but then i wont be insured

PASSED CERT!!!! just need to wait for the tags to turn up then get fitted, stupid how the certifier has to fit them, i tried to convince Donn to come do it at mine so i dont have to trailor it, even offered to pay his hourly wage so ill wait and see.

These brakes are really getting on my nerves!!!! Pulled the culprit caliper apart again today in case i missed something and looks fine, so filled up with brake fluid on the ground then refitted and bled again and again and again and im still getting it pushing the rotor off to one side so i gave up...

Dam was hoping to take it for a maiden voyage next weekend, oh well. Anyway so i got the brake pedal feeling good but took the car out to test them and it was locking up one tyre before the other. but then it would swap side so im confused. this is a video of what one of my calipers is doing. Ive tr...

Well List is all crossed off now just got to get it back in for the recheck which is booked for Wednesday. Does anyone know if Donn stamps the tag straight away or if i have to wait before going for my Wof recheck? I am slightly concerned about my brakes though, they are nice and firm now but pull s...

This is a couple of things ive had to do for cert. first was the brackets holding the clutch line rigid so it wont crack and then the flares which arnt much but i think they look good (Not too much of an eye sore)
