So, whilst the Datsun community North and South did their thing, the oldschool.co.nz community also had a bit of a get together. Being oldschool caters for as many vehicles as are made, the variety is exquisite though it can always be improved upon so if you’re into old cars then be sure to join up [...]
That’s right, not more than one week after I sold the ’81 DR30 RS sedan on behalf of the elderly people down the line, two more examples have appeared on trademe.

It’s been an exciting last few days for me, in that yesterday I received one parcel from Japan, via Palmerston North and today I received another.

zeki has updated his Minkara blog with more choice DR30/general OS Nissan meet photos from this weekend just been. Sometimes I wish that sort of thing happened here – but I guess that’s what the annual Auckland classic Jap meets are all about. (fake edit: Also some photos from the same event by SKYHAND, here) [...]
