"Seems to me there was a special tach"

you are right about this jeff, the owner notes this in the details of this car. it is some special 8000 rpm tach. hard to get the translation on it since my gf knows nothing about cars! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sean, I think its 50k on engines. Seattle is flooded with Japanese "Take out" motors, if fact that is what Blair bought when he got his RX7 13b Turbo 2 motor for his first gen project.
Also, Surianme is flooded with 5 year old Japanese cars. They buy em used in Japan with 50k on em and them ship them to Suriname to resell. Nothing but Japanese cars in Suriname, very weird.
Way cool site, I'll have to invite my Japanses friends over to translate for me.
Kevin. I saw one of those early Datsun roadsters yesterday. What years did they make em?

I didn't notice any right hand drive cars. Many of the non-flared cars have USA side markers. Did Japan get USA spec cars?

I love Datsun 2000s, that is quite a car, 240Zs are also cool.

geoff, the first production of the roadsters was in 65' i think. badged as the "fairlady". prob some trans to english that turn out wrong, made it sound girly and guys wouldn't have it. 3 girl's single mothers i knew in h.s. drove them. ran to 70 i believe then came the z's.

Way cool, I'm going to have my sons friend come over and help me post a message on that site. My sons friend was an exchange student and has visited over there a couple of times since. He met a girl overthere and had her and her parents visit here in the states. I think there in puppy wub... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) You know 16 year olds...

Looks like they do club meetings at restaurants too. I think the guy in the foreground is Brads Japanese counterpart, but I don't see an Iced tea or green hair.

My friend, Hisako, read to me quite alot of it especially in the members page. Pretty much the same stuff we say here "Totally restored, with new this and that, very fast car, beautiful car....."
The Creamsicle didn't have a email address that we could find, sorry.

Geoff
(PS. Hisako is a car nut and loves to ride in the 914 when Monique will let her, and she is looking for a Interior Designers job. She just got laid off)

Man I wish I could read that stuff. I'm having trouble pinning my sons friend down. Looks like a big gathering of teener fans.
