If anyone's interested, there's a new car magazine out there called "Japanese Retro Auto". It looks like it's going to be similar to "Japanese Nostaligic Car" magazine.
 
I just bought issue one, and spotted a datsun 1000 coupe in the article about the Classic Japanese Show 'n' Shine at Lakeside Raceway.
 

 
Who's coupe is this?

Coupe used to belong to Rob Souter, the old school Datsun 1000 racecar driver from way back in the day, his username is be off Datsun1200.com. T car runs little wide 10 inch wheels wrapped in what look like yokohama A048's.
 
The car now belongs to Matty (datsun1200.com username) I think. I think he called it tiger.

I shouldn't say way back in the day, he's still racing now I think, in a SR B310.

Hey Mikey, 
 
What's a TS Celica? Do you mean the Bosozoku TA22 in the mag?

I have a theory about retro Japanese cars being more popular these days... With the P-plate laws, you can't have anything that requires a mod plate. So original is the new cool. I could be way off, but hopefully it means less cars will be molested to make them "fully sick".
 
X-Zibit may start a show called "stock my ride"...
