New Nissan Fairlady 400z

The Nissan Z is a sports car which has been manufactured by Nissan Motors Ltd, since 1969. The Datsun 240z was the model that most Datsun enthusiasts dream of owning and now its seems that Nissan is trying to bring back that heritage.... with the Nissan Fairlady 400Z. The question is, does it live up to the hype?

Datsun 510 - Little Beasts

The Datsun 510 Bluebird is a car that has captured the mind of many over the years. Its a daily workhorse that can be used over the weekend and on the track, with many options and possibilities to make the ride suit the driver.

Look at this 2015 Video by Petrolicious on Datsun enthusiast Troy Ermish.

The Datsun 510 really is a little beast.

Here's to an awesome drive and eventful event at Hermanus Whales and Wheels Car Show!

.

The Whales are always the star performers at the festival and will be joined on land by great food, quality crafters, great sport events, 3 day coaching clinic, kids entertainment, a Music stage with over 20 artists performing over the festival, Marine ECO Village, Vintage Car Show and thousands of people celebrating Spring in the most beautiful place on earth - Hermanus

.

Over 250 vintage and classic cars dating from the 1920s through to the 1980s will be on display at Hermanus Primary School during the annual Hermanus Whale Festival, from 7am on the Saturday morning you can view these classics and  around 11am the Saturday Morning these vintage cars will take a spin through Hermanus.

AAD - We're all FAMILY!

What's in a name?

Sometimes I just need to explore / create / drive / rant & rave... anything to get my Datsun fix. Other times I think I can design. This is what I came up with this time. Hope you like it...

AAD Meet: 1st of May (Part 2)

It was a quick drive from Vangate Mall to Nantes Park (refer Part1 for more info). There was more than enough parking for everyone... We headed inside to sit under a lovely covering where we had an awesome get together and family time.

The mood was relaxed. Everyone had something to say or comment on. People got Nostalgic on previous AAD Events and how we should get together as a group for this year. One great suggestion was a regular meeting say the first Sunday of the new month and more informal "Breakfast Runs" to just get out with the rides (no need to HAVE breakfast - Datsun's need to be DRIVEN!).

Doc making some schweet suggestions...

 A sample of a new proposed AAD Golf Shirt was sent around for everyone to see and inspect. Certain changes were mentioned and suggested, such as proper embroidery, the addition of a peak cap and perhaps smaller / kids sizes. Watch the Facebook Page in future as the design is finalised and pricing is determined.

AAD Family truly are a jolly bunch. Wish you were here?

Let us all build on the future of the All About Datsun Movement & Family way of life. Feel free to interact with us through the Facebook Page, WhatsApp Groups, commenting on the Blog Articles and interacting with fellow Datsun Family in your immediate area.

Plans for the year include monthly meets, breakfast runs, Mosselbay Halway Run (with ECape), Hermanus Whale Run, Eastern Cape Visit, Montagu Run. Watch this space for more info.

But for now, let these images put a smile on your faces...

A DATSUN STORY WITH THE DIFFERENCE.

So i made my way to the quiet but beautiful town of Middelburg just outside of Pretoria.I met up with a like minded Datsun individual by the name of Riaan Jacobs.What a humble and bubbly person he is.I could not believe all those nice Datsun's of the model 160z series.

                   

Riaan showed me the current project he is working on!48mm weberside draughts to speed up the process and make it faster.a nice 2.4 engine very nicely built and by the way he is hands on every step of the way.

Engine is very neatly fitted to perfection.riaan will be us ing this ride for everyday use, say what?yes he said this will be a nice road car.so where did it all start for him.it started with his very first ride which was a datsun.A very well organised workshop to match the cars!

The body of this blue 160z is very nice.i think i will let the pics do the speaking!!!

Nice wheels to match this monster! Some nice alluminium panels to go with this build's

good looks.

And what a sexy ass!Riaan knows how to make them sexy and some mean ass scoop,gonna look awesome!Thumbs up bro.
