ggzilla Posted May 4, 2025 Report Share Posted May 4, 2025 Once upon a time there was NWDE Forums, which Ratsun replaced. You can still see the old forums at https://nwde.ratsun.net NWDE is the local Datsun car club: Northwest Datsun Enthusiasts. The May meetup was today at 11:30. At the "business" portion they talked about Datsun repair shops, upcoming shows (Greenwood, Return to Renton, Old School Reunion, Shasta), getting replacement parts, etc. But most of the time was spent looking at the cars Next meeting: June 7, Round Table pizza (near IKEA), 302 SW 43rd St, Renton, WA 98055 Five Datsun/Nissan showed up today: * Ted's burnt orange 1967 Datsun 1600 Roadster with SR20DET power * Junior's orange Datsun 2000 with SR20 Turbo engine * Don's Datsun 2000 Roadster all stock with U20 engine and 5-speed * Orange-orange Datsun 1600 with R16 engine * Silver Infiniti RWD sedan with VQ37 engine Bonus: * A gorgeous Triumph GT6 with 5-speed 2 Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted May 4, 2025 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2025 Rats, I didn't get a photo of the Infiniti M37, Nissan's modern RWD sedan. But I got to hear it, it has a great sounding idle, with a nasty snarl when it revs up. Truly the best sounding V6 ever in my opinion Quote Link to comment
