So had a trip to Bothaville, and the reason was we inspected and negotiated a deal for a client......On the sweat little 510 coupe. He is two sneak peaks. She is a stunning example and we were super happy to help a client with his dream purchase.

Had a visit to the Datsun Heritage Museum yesterday. I could not leave before snapping a few shots of my two favorites. Would sell a kidney for the Gtr to be honest 🤣. What would you pick if you had a choice?

This is a special one, probably one of the luckiest deals ever buying a own owner 510 deluxe in 100% original condition. Was bought in our town and never left for 40 plus years. Now, she is still safe with us, and gets used almost every week.

Package arrived today from , and a custom-made plug leads to our specific needs. Have to say, as always, the quality and service is just top notch. The leads are black Msd ones with white lettering for a more subtle look. Love the end result and one step closer to the final product. Let us know what you think below in the comments......

This is the one we definitely should have kept but such is life😥. This was the best little Bakkie ever and made a great daily. Started everytime even in the middle of winter first crank. Maybe have to get her back in the future. What cars did you let go that should have stayed? ........let us know in the comments then we can all cry together 🤣.

Hi all, got the custom Aluminum radiator fited, fans installed and what a headache as the front pulleys would not allow a big fan, the core height is also very limiting a 510. So twin fans it is then. Cfm is nice and high so cooling should be sorted. Plug leads are also ordered so cant wait to see the engine bay coming together. Have a great week all. #510

Hi All, cant keep smiling about how nice this setup looks in the bay, loads has happened after motor has been installed. Alternator and starter is in as well, busy mocking up the msd plug leads and coil. Dizzy needs to come out still as it will be running of a trigger wheel setup. Throttle cable is almost done as well, loving the jenvey stuff, quality is just amazing. Fuel pressure regulator is mounted as well, Radiator arrived and fits as well. So keep posted as we will post some more pics of it coning together.

Thought we would share a bit of info on the infamous little 160z. Not as decorated in racing as its older brother the 140z but nonetheless a truly iconic car, and very sought after in our country. The last few ones were gold in colour without the decals but some owners specced them differently as well. Let us know in the comments if you had on or knew of one. Would love to hear the stories......

Another item ticked of the to do list. Brake lines front to back done and dusted. Tried to do them as visually pleasing yet functional as well. The car is equipped with a rear bias vavle and hydraulic handbrake so it should be balanced and all the fun can be had as well. With the proper stopping power provided by big brakes. Let us know what you think.

Merry Christmas to all our followers, hope all of you are having an amazing day with your friend and family's.
