Hello from Carlisle, England

Post by howe »

Hi all,

I have found this forum a wealth of information on Datsun motors and I'm joining for advice and out of a general interest.

Currently, I have a Datsun Cabstar pickup truck that I'm looking to kit out into a camper in the coming months after extensive restoration work, it has a H20 motor (Something I've seen discussed regularly here!)
I won't be posting van content obviously as this isn't the forum for it, but will be involved with info about this engine etc.

I do also plan to buy a roadster when one comes available around here (rarely..)

Welcome, that sounds like a cool project. I personally don't see a problem posting van information.

Welcome Howe, glad you found us & glad to see yet another Datsun vehicle. Please keep us informed on your progress. And remember, the only stupid question is the one that doesn’t get asked.

Peace,

Hello fellow Uk'er.
I used to live near Dumfries, over the border, close to you during my childhood years.

Roadsters in the UK are something that is sometimes brought as an import by companies who bring iron over from the USA. Quiet a few 240z's, but the odd SPL311. Keep an eye out, as I see a few each year (tempted but too big a project to add a roadster too).
1965 Nissan Silvia (CSP311) for total restoration

Welcome! I agree that we would welcome info on this unusual vehicle... all are welcome. I also have a soft spot for our English friends and can hardly wait to be able to visit the island again soon! How can we help? Ask away!
