Datsun Cruise 23rd July 2005 - Gold Coast Hinterland
This cruise was held on Saturday 23rd July and was a Gold Coast Hinterland cruise. The route was similar to the cruise held in March 2003 but it was run in the reverse direction with a few different roads thrown in for variety. We met at Oxenford for a midday start, and at first it seemed as if the weather just wasn't going to co-operate with spitting rain and menacing looking clouds. Datsun owners from the Gold Coast, Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and even northern New South Wales turned up for the day, with a total of about 20 cars, most of them of course being 1600's (13 in total), with a few 1200 coupes, a couple of 1200 utes, a 200b SSS and even a slightly decrepit looking 720 ute! Despite the weather, everyone was keen to get going and so we started off up Tamborine Mountain.
The weather ended up holding, with just a few spits of rain but nothing any well set-up Datto couldn't handle. With a short stop at the top of Mount Tamborine, the cruise continued up and over the back of the mountain on some more fun windy roads down to the township of Tamborine, then on through some straight roads to Canungra. Stopping for a rest and a well-earned Datsun gossip session, we then continued on up to Beechmont (with a great clear run all the way), and then back down the range to the Hinze Dam. Unfortunately our regular photo spot was occupied by some kind of watersport people, but we all parked up on the hill overlooking the Dam and conveniently close to the kiosk.
After much more Datto discussion and some refreshments, some went home from there but most of the cars continued on towards Southport and the Broadwater Carpark for some more photos.
Overall I think a great day was had by all - the weather didn't hinder the cruise too much and there were no major (or even minor) casualties. We are looking forward to the next cruise which should be some time after Powercruise and Jamboree.

Gold Coast Hinterland Cruise - Saturday 29th March 2003
Thanks to Ollie for taking some of the photos while I was driving. ;)
The day started at about 9.30 am where we all met at the Broadwater Car Park at Southport on the Gold Coast. Friday was a very dreary day weather-wise so everyone had their fingers crossed for some fine weather on Saturday, and it must have worked because it turned out to be mostly a fine day.
We left for the cruise at about 10.30 and headed out to the Hinze Dam for a photoshoot and BBQ lunch. There were almost 30 cars present with 1600's comprising almost half of that number and the remainder being made up of 1200's, a 1000 coupe, bluebirds, a Navara ute (complete with VG30 turbo), an SR20 200b, a 200SX and a couple of Z's.

Datsun 1600 and Datsun 1200 Coupe (added 15-04-2004)
![]() |
![]() |
These are photos of the two Datsuns that I currently own - the CA18 1600 and my new 1200 coupe. The white 1600 is going to be sold eventually and the money will be put into making the 1200 a turbo beast, as it's currently pretty much standard, though in very good condition. The Sigma wheels from the 1600 are now on the 1200, but I am hoping to eventually replace them with a set of Superlites as they still technically belong to Andrew.

These photos are from a small cruise we went on to a local national park, with a friend and his turbo FJ20 1600 (the red car).

Two 1600's and a 1200 Sedan
This is from when I owned the 1600 and the stocko 1200 Sedan. I later sold the 1200 to buy tyres for the Sigma turbo wheels for the 1600 and pay off a few other things.
In the bottom photo is all three of our cars together.

Queensland Performance Datsun Club
Summer Cruise 2002 - 14th December
We had a large turnout of datto's for this event, I think 42 were present at one stage which included lots of 1600's, a 1200 ute, 120Y's, 200B's a couple of skylines and bluebirds etc. After meeting at North Brissy we cruised up through the Sunshine Coast hinterland through Melaney and stopped for a BBQ lunch at Montville. Some of us then continued on to Nambour to a dyno comp, then finally down to Maroochydore for a quick cruise around the streets before heading home.
This meet was a huge success and we're all looking forward to the next one, which will probably be near the Gold Coast. Keep watching the QPDC website for details.

Fast Fours Jamboree 2002
This
year's event promised to be huge and it was, so much so that they have decided
that next year will be a 2-day event - finally! Hopefully we will see some more
events added too. The drag racing was very stop-start, due to a large number
of breakdowns in the early evening, but eventually we got to see some very quick
times, including two 7-second runs.
There were masses of people there and some very tidy cars. I tried to get most the the 1600's on film (STILL no digital camera hence the lack of more photos) and there are some videos on their way soon.
Enjoy the images!

Willowbank Drag Combat 2002
Organised by the Auto Salon people, [cabin], it was rained out on the Saturday and postponed until the next day, Sunday 26th May 2002. The only cars allowed to enter were those made after 1986 and those that were fuel injected, which meant there was a sad lack lack of dattos and other older rigs but I guess that was the rule. Another 'rule' was that you weren't allowed to take video cameras into the place so I thought I'd better play it safe and leave it in the car, so sorry folks, no vids this time!
There were heaps of Skylines, Silvias and 180's, and also Lancer GSR's and some front wheel drive cars. The main feature of the day was HKS's GTR drag car from Japan, which has the record for the fastest 4 wheel drive car in the world! I think they were hoping to break some more records on the day but just missed out this time running a best time of 7.8 secs at almost 300 km/hr, their best ever time being 7.6 ( I think). There were also some other very quick Aussie cars there too like the Rotormaster series VI RX7, running very low 8's, and a yellow GSR that ran a flat 10 with room for improvement.
Since we were suffering from datto withdrawl symptoms we had a walk around the car park and spotted a few nice examples, like the gold 1600 wagon below. I now have a new respect for wagons, they can look very sweet once done up!
Overall it was a pretty good day, though I think if it hadn't been rained out the day before there may have been a more cars competing. Seeing the HKS car run was something I will never forget though. Enjoy the pics, sorry there aren't more but until I get a digital camera I have to curb my film consumption! :)

The Performance Street Car Shoot-Out 2001
This event is held each year at Willowbank Raceway, Queensland, and is becoming one of the largest annual events on the Queensland drag racing calendar. This one-day event features a show'n'shine and qualifying racing during the day, with eliminators and 'dial-your-own' drag racing towards the evening.
The racing is divided into classes, including 4-cyinder, rotary, 6-cylinder, kit cars, and about six V8 classes as they outnumber the other types of cars by so many. The fastest pass on the day was a 7.06 @ 200 mph by some V8 thing with a huge supercharger sticking out the bonnet (I guess it's obvious I don't know much about V8's! :) ).
There were a few fours, sixes and rotaries there though so it did break the monotony of those rumbling 8's. Here are a few pics from the day...
