"What I want, but fear that I will never find, is a small alloy V8 that will fit into my KB10's engine bay without sheet metal surgery.   The Toyota Hemi V8 from the 1980's looked good at first.      Mmmmmm, Hemi V8. Sadly, it's too big. Buggerbitch..."

"How many of you still have your old BMX bikes?   This April 1981 built Quicksilver is one of mine, & was photographed the morning before the 2010 Retro Grand Nationals in 2010. Yes, it still gets raced. We got 4th in the final.   "

"For me, in the end, it was all about collecting up as many of the rarest parts that I could find & put them all into one car. I've come close to succeeding.   The A13 was not sold in Australia but I have two of them & capacitywise, it fits right into a..."

"The first of the 4 Door sedans was the 1968 model & in my view, the best looking version too. There were no 4 Door Sedans for the 1967 model year Easy to pick, they are the only ones to use the smaller tail lights.   This was my 1968 4 Door with big..."

"Well it was a year or two ago but I simply went to my Nissan dealer & ordered some. They turned up a few days later.   Yes, the part number was still current & may be current even now for all I know. Worth a try."
