Stumbled across this, an interesting read.

"The absence of rigorous safety standards that would be applied to models aimed at the US or European markets will also help keep the price down"

Love it.

I remember reading an article before about the Datsun brand be revived so that Nissan can start targeting developing markets like Africa. But the brand will only be sold in those markets and not developed ones like Australia.

Well my VL turbo has 360 000 kms on it and still going strong. If Holdens had such terrible reliability why would they be chosen for every other taxi? Compare the reliability of the GTR to the Commodores when they were racing in the early nineties. The current Camaro and a bunch of other American cars are based off the Commodore. Thanks for trying but:

Back on topic, I hope they do bring the Datsuns out. Even if they aren't in the developed countries it shouldn't be too long before we can get imports...can't wait for a Datto 1000 wagz return.

I guess that I was considering a car to be more than an engine. Also it was only one of a bunch of points I made.

^ And I also bet you have to inflate it yourself upon entry.

Really want to comment but not wasteland so won't :)

Taxi? Anything to do with stimulating the economy? Same reason they use mercy in Germany?

Also your car has done just over 200 thousand miles. Wow. I owned a 74 mini that did more than that was better build quality too.

Now take your self to bed.

FYP

I don't want an Australian built Holden. What I REALLY want is to meet two proletarian Russian brothers and for them to take turns at roughly ploughing my bottom in the back of a horse-drawn Trabant.

Moving on with constructive conversation.

Would be interesting to see some concept cars, text under picture in article says design may be similar to the 120Y, however this is just stipulation.

There is this one, not a real Datsun concept just some designers take on a 240z, interesting but I hope a Datsun designed 24oz concept would turn out better.

Is there really much of a chance of them releasing anything remotely interesting or is just gonna be the cheapest FWD they can make?

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
