    On a dark, drizzly day in the San Francisco Bay Area, Petrolicious caught up with Ivan Jaramillo, the owner of not just one, but two Skylines: the Hakosuka and the Kenmeri. With epic histories, straight sixes and little effort, both cars roared through redwood groves and past horse ranches on Lucas Valley Road before posing for their close ups along the bay. In this feature interview, Ivan passionately describes his love of Japanese automobiles and more specifically the Hakosuka and the Kenmeri.<br /> <br /> Drive Tastefullyâ„¢<br /> <br /> www.Petrolicious.com<br /> www.Facebook.com/Petrolicious

    Thanks Blue! Hey, can you add this to the media center?
  6. I used the B-Quiet material. Works ok, but, maybe something thicker would have been better:
  7. Yep! It's a "goodie tray" that mounts in the center console on an early series S30. I say "goodie" because it seems like everything makes its way into it... including spilled coffee. The tray mounts just under your right arm (if you are in the USA -- left arm if you are in the UK). I found a pic in our gallery: m
  8. Very cool, Carl. Don't you wish you would have picked up all those parts back in 2001? I wonder how many parts were lost in the hurricane.
  9. 'Identified Flying Object' TV commercial from Nissan/Datsun of the new fuel-injected 280Z model. That's some hardcore music for 1975, folks. Space suit not included.
  10. Against All Odds Nissan Datsun 1600 / 510 BRE Racing John Morton, Mike Downs, Peter Brock and Kwech in the Alfa. Datsun verse Fiat, Volvo, Alfa Romeo, BMW. Sports car club of America 2.5 Trans America challenge.
  11. CarCast's Adam Carolla and Sandy Ganz take Adam's recently restored Datsun 2000 Roadster to Willow Springs race track for a few laps with legendary racer John Morton.
  12. Experience the BRE Reunion ! In the Fall of 2008, BRE (Brock Racing Enterprise) team members reconnected in mass for the first time since the end of the 1972 race season. The BRE team changed the perception of Japanese cars as they won the SCCA D Production Pacific Coast Championship in 1969 with the BRE Datsun 2000 Roadster, the C Production Championships in 1970 and 71 with the BRE Datsun 240Z and won the professional Trans-Am 2.5 series Championships in 1971 and 72 with the BRE Datsun 510s. If you want to hear insider stories of what it was like to be on the BRE team and some of the crazy things that happened, you can get a two hour DVD of the reunion at www.bre2.net. Also a favorite moment of the night was when each team member shared what they are doing today. Don't miss it!
  13. Damn, he's a smooth character.
  14. After seeing many of the edited versions of the meteor that hit Russia, I decided to go on a search for high resolution images and some uncut raw video of the incident. What we have here is a VERY close call! How ironic that it happens around the same time a larger asteroid just about hits the earth later in the day?! The chances of having an impact with injuries on the same day as DA14 are beyond astronomical. Enjoy.

    Headed to a cruise in for Memorial Day in Ringgold GA. Had to pass a couple cars on the way down.
  20. Hmm... it doesn't have the big bumpers, so, it's not a late model car. And it doesn't have the vents underneath the hatch glass, so it's not a rare early car. Judging by the bumper, it's probably a '71, '72, or '73. Then again, it could be a late model car that someone replaced the bumpers. Why don't you knock on the door and ask? m
  21. Absolutely! We need to create a member spotlight about him! I'll start something and let you know.
  22. Here's to you, Enrique! You will be missed.
  23. Thanks Gary. Enrique was a big help around the club as well as a good friend of mine as well. He helped several times with my Z and showed me many different ways I could improve the website. We had many discussions over the phone about establishing an easier to understand user policy and was directly involved in helping many of the members of this website with their own personal car projects. He was a valuable asset to the Z community as well as someone I could count on. Enqrique also purchased a '68 Datsun Roadster from me many years ago in order to restore it for his wife. During the summer, we would spend hours talking about restoration techniques and walked slowly around the shows together critiquing other cars. Enrique always made me feel like I was important and he always had new and fresh ideas about how to improve the way we look at these vehicles. I will miss him. A toast to Enrique!
  24. Ha! Really cool fix, thanks for sharing!
  25. Hey, I recognize that license plate!!
