Well i thought the time had come this year but yet again it passed with no problems. I think the thing for me if it keeps passing then i keep it but the day the testers hammer managers to break through then bye bye s12 as i spent nearly a year doind up my Mk1 when i had that, welding etc, i did enjoy the Mk1 but when i put the kit on the Mk2 i now wished i had'nt.
I reckon with these cars, its like an addiction, you know they are more than capable on the road/track but how far do you go.
With any hobby/interest you need to draw the line somewhere its different for everybody i reckon i would probably put the motor in something light or even make a chasis to go round the running gear so the engine will live on for me .
I did always enjoy my old datsuns when i had them, Car History was :-
Datsun Violet with sss running gear.
Datsun BluebirdSSS 1.8.
Datsun 260z with carb modsand different exhaust.
Datsun Laurel with the 260 z in it after it fell apart.
Nissan 300zx single turbo Z31( boost upgrade).Fast enough.
Golf Mk1, Lowered usual stuff.
Astra Mk2 1.8 GTE. Exhaust, filter Plugs and Re-map.
Nissan Silvia Turbo MK1 1985.
Spares Mk1 1984 Black over silver
Spares Mk2 1986 Bright red auto
Spare car which i gave to my friend to put onto the road,
1988 black mk 2 G reg.( should have let him have it , he wrecked it )
Spares Mk2 1986 Metallic blue, then sold to a friend now on the road.
Now the beast i have today, so i reckon i still done know what i would get after all of those.
