The 1st of January and I took delivery of two new components to be utilised in my C110 Project.

Ah yes, more pieces for the puzzle. The L28 is from an F30 Leopard, which simply means that it’s front sump and I don’t have to change anything to bolt it into the Skyline. Win! Nissan Lego strikes again.

Summer driving through the country-side always yields some interesting results, such as this 330-series Datsun 260C laying in what looks like it’s final resting place.
Back at work again… what’s all this talk about an xmas break?
Anyway, I’ve been perusing the Google Books service a bit lately and there are all sorts of interesting magazines and articles from all eras to be found (a lot of them for free), including this nice little piece titled Japanese Micro-Mini Cars from a 1985 edition of Popular Mechanics. At the risk of sounding like a lazy contributor with nothing of his own to write, you should go read it.
No, not that sort of 'rex'
Not sure how I came across it, was originally looking for some Nikon camera articles – but that’s the wonder of teh innerwebs for you I guess.
(it’s almost worth looking through just to chortle at the contemporary print ads!)
Popular Mechanics, Jul 1985: Japanese Micro-Mini Cars »
I had a brief visit from a few friends this morning and so decided with the small amount of time available we’d shoot down the road quickly and take a few photos of our cars together. The commonality being they’re all Inline-6, 2600cc, manufactured by Nissan. Ignore their lacking in retro or classic this time around.
