NWDE meeting in Renton

[ggzilla]

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

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
