Friend of a friend, owns an orange 240Z with no bumpers, looks neat and goes pretty good, he used to own an SR20DET 1600 in light blue (swapped cars i think?)

Oh and one of the service advisors at holden owns a 260Z (2 seater) with a 350chev in it, very neat conversion with no chassis mods at all
The orange 240Z, is that the Arcadia fella, he hillclimbs and khanas it? That's a nice car that, although he desparately needs to buy new shocks... :lol:
The 260Z is the red one? I saw that at the Stadium motorkhana this year, man is that a nice car or what!

At uni there is a green Stanza (round headlight model), as well as a little 120Y and a S3 Bluebird (rough as guts). A young guy (still on his Ls AFAIK) in our club has a real nice early Stanza (blue), he uses it mainly for khanas and a bit of course car work for rallies, he can drive pretty good too.

The orange 240Z is Gianni's (spelling) yeah he does some knana's no and then, i used to do heaps with my S13 but havent lately

That 260Z you see at motorkhana's might be a different one again, there's two ive seen around in the last few years, one has a 9inch and drop tank, the other is done so it can be returned to normal, forget which is which though

There used to be 3 going around Springwood all the same colour. My old one :( So we can count that one out. The guy who works at the mechanics behind Scotty's which is a restored stock one with bathurst globes and another Mech who owns a FJ20 Powered one with silver Mags. That thing puts out 410 BHP.

Yeah, i dont know that guy, but i have seen him a few times around springwood or blaxland. I have seen his car, and photo's will only be able to be taken from one side of it. Last i saw it had a nice basketball sized dent in the bottom of one of the guards.

So I dunno about that one.

Yeah it was the guy that works behind scotty's that i saw yesterday, and i think the FJ powered one you are talking about is owned by a guy named Jason, that car has been around for years, he used to work for my father in law as a mechanic.

Oh nice, Haven't seen the 120Y yet. There used to be a blue coupe that lived down past Sprinwood Primary School that an old lady drove. I hated the look of it until i found out how rare they were. Apparently someone picked it up not long ago.

See heaps of customers coming in with 1200 ute's. But nothing else in the datto family.

I know Jason sort of well, works for Mountain auto's and he's my mates mechanic. Been speaking to him a few times about getting another datto shell for me. He said he knew someone who might have something, but when he looked at it for me advised against it because it was all in undercoat or something. So in terms of that, i'm still looking. But he's a good guy as far as i can tell.

My brother in law took me to the drags a couple of times with Jason, this was back in his Kerry's Motors days.

There's a guy that's started work at CC Tyres next to my work that has a couple of dattos, a 1200 ute/ 1200 sedan (stocker)/ and just sold his project 1200 sedan with z18et to one of the boys at my work, so i spend most of my day staring at dattos... :roll:
