Hi all, In completing my replica works rally car I am looking for a nationality plate from Japan. A metal one would be nice I will attach a picture so you all know what I mean.

Hi Ben, I like to point you to our ‘own’ rally forum we have at this club. Have a look at http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=64 Here you will find many discussions about the rally cars. Even the RAC number 5, your picture, has been discussed there. Hi Alan, I agree of what you say about the car but how about the ‘mud flaps’ in front of this car? It looks to me they are safari option? Or aren’t they flaps at all…….:stupid: If you like to have a view at the victory lane of Datsun check my site below:classic:

Hi Ben, For myself I do not have any knowledge about this rally car. I think it is a private entranced car with options from a works car. That, you can see if you look at the front bumper. The mud flaps are common for a safari type car. I never heard of the SLB rally or any sponsorship like Bapal or Marpeixe. But who am I? (Sport Lisboa e Banfica) is in my opinion the football club of Benfica. If it really from Portugal, which I do not doubt, I suppose it is a private entrance in the TAP rally of Portugal likely in 1973 or 1974. Maybe Alan will read this and jump in?

Nice movie of a race between a 350Z, BMW M3, Honda S2000 en Porsche Boxter with a Nissan Skyline GT-R34 as camera car. You are going to love it! :love: http://300zx-twinturbo.com/vidz/350Z_TsukubaBattle.asf

A proceed with the making of the Monte bumper. Finally, I welded a strip of metal at the TR4 (or was it the 3?) rosettes (overrider). Next job was to cut out the wholes where the up and under bumper would fit in. This is also al lot of measurement. What you see on the picture are rosettes already de-chromed and rusty. I tried to lain the rosettes a little bit backwards and also tried to find a smooth rear end. They are ready to be chromed.

Here’s an other one. Now you can see what’s going on there and more important what’s driving there!!! http://bagpuss.swan.ac.uk/dunk300zx/W_L_S/Nurburgring%20system%20of%20a%20down.wmv

Hi guys, If found a link to practice the RING!! http://bagpuss.swan.ac.uk/dunk300zx/W_L_S/Nurburgring%20lap%20one%20Annie.wmv You’re driving a twin turbo and you passing and getting passed. However, it’s an idea. The movie is about 34Mb BIG!

Rolf, I followed your instructions, nice girl. I do not think her friend knows what she is doing above his head. She even made her bra loss!! Naughty naughty! I did some calling to the festival organisation. The entree is 15 euro. Per round at the ring will cost you 15 euro. The ring 20km long, did I understand it good? I will call up some friend and see if they want to come.

Rolf, I can remember last year my fellow clubmembers drove their cars at the ring. I don’t the name or kind of event but is this THE event, to do it?

Hè guys, As far as I can see, there is something to do at the Ring next 14th September. Can anybody confirm this?

Alan, Great picture. It’s if Dominic is preparing for the hit.:nervous: Can’t recall I flew that high last weekend.:cheeky:

Hi Guys, The result after a very busy weekend. Last weekend we took part at the 11th Classic Scheveningen-Luxemburg-Scheveningen. A rally, 1350km long driven in three days. After the start at Friday 12.20 we drove, guided by ‘Bol/Pijl’ map, to the direction of the Haringvliet/Zeeland. It was mainly a quick route to get out of the busy ‘downtown’. There the rally really begun. I did not know the province Zeeland had so many roads. We stayed on track although we missed some markers. Along the route, the organisation pointed markers, time controls, and ‘self’ stamp markers. If you are good, you have them all, if you are less good………. As I said, we drove on a time schedule and we managed to stay in time arriving at the overnight stop in Brussels. The next morning it was an early start. Again we drove, guided by ‘Bol/Pijl’ map, to the ‘inland’ of Belgium. We started with regularity. This means a curtain distance with an average off 48kph and somewhere along the route, you are clocked. That is very precision driving I can tell! The first we screwed up, the second one, a very spectacular route for the driver, we did great only six seconds late! You can imagine driving though Belgium and Luxemburg will take some time and kilometres. Therefore, a big step further, we arrived at the Luxembourg. We parked the car at the main square and had for the local ‘china man’. The square stood full with all the 180 competitors, a great side! Again, on time we started after a break of two hours. Just before the word “Go” there was Japanese family and as we where equipped with our names in Japanese we ask the person to translate. Great was the hilarity when he spoke our names in broken English. He directed his wife and son in front of the car and made pictures!! We drove into the night. The ‘new’ four Cibie’s did their work good, a hugh pile of light stroke the road. Driving at night is always difficult but spectacular. Of course the organisation likes to confuse you, making tiny ‘de-tours’ in the route. Even the best will miss something, and so we did. Then you feel the pressure of the time schedule on you and under that pressure, you are going to make more mistakes. That is what we did. We missed our TC with at least 30 minutes. The regularity after that was also not one of the best. We agreed to go for the route (“fishbone”) and not for the time and so we did. Surprisingly we managed both until we past a muddy path, then it was over. Lost again! After all, we arrived at our overnight stop. Tired and disappointed we felt a sleep, it was two a clock in the morning. A new day, new chances. Lost time is lost time. You cannot do anything about it. It‘s one the rules the organisation made to avoid racing at the public road. That morning was not our morning if you know what I mean. The ‘urge to score’ was probably a little bit gone and so the mistakes came. Missing a TC and regularity brought us further down in the ranks. The entrance at Scheveningen made a lot good. The warm welcome was very nice. Our result is 65 of the 86 starters. 75 cars finished. http://www.historicrally.org/pages/sls/sportklasse-2003.htm www.z-point.nl/SLS/SLS.htm The car is save, sound, and ready to go for the new adventure.

Thanks Alan, I’ll give it a try and will inform if they still got it. There’s no price at it, so that will be a question too. You’re just like the ghost in the bottle, call his name and he will appear! Great! :classic:

http://www.datsun-freeway.com/products/index.html just click at the pics. it's funny we find lots of pics overhere of the American meetings????

This is an outcome (?) of visiting the link through the Clear Headlight Covers thread. They got plenty pictures, enough for an hour fun!

I use Altavista translating!! http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr Alan T are you in? There's a comp. streering at the site, does it fit the normal 240Z?

As I wrote before the prices at Courtesy a couple of years ago where $120 a piece, so 200 bucks for the two is “cheap”.

I do! What a nice cars and also very expensive ones too. What was the reason they all came together, just fun or a day at the racetrack?

You know, that sounds exact the way I got it when I visited you country two months ago. Somewhere around Paris it started with a noise, like there was a coat hanger around my axle and was ticking and ticking and ticking. That sound went over to another a sort of screaming, just what you tell us. When you accelerate or slow down. This story is exactly written in the manual. If you jack your car up underneath the diff. you must be able to see if the UJ has movement! New UJ costs €30 in Holland. I replaced all four of them in one time! Good luck.

Hi Bpaccaud, I use 80W 90 in my R180. That is normal differential oil which you can buy at every auto shop. You need thick oil because it’s getting thinner by his own heating. About the noise I can’t say, hopefully it’s ‘only’ the bearing what you hear. By the way, Are you a member of the French Z club??
