Some those on here that been around for years know me, and over the last 6 odd years my S30 focus and participation on this forum has drastically dropped.
Why, well my sole focus is on the project car I brought in 2008, and have been slowly sourcing parts, restoring the parts and thinking what route to take. EVERYTHING is being restored to a high detail, even the glass needs work. I have made parts and even sell them back to Japan.
And what took a huge chunk of time was creating my website. It took months and months of transcribing Japanese Kanji one by one into text I could translate, probably looked at 60-70 thousand Kanji to help with the site.
That seems a lot of work doesn't it, well when your project was only the second car in Europe at the time, and now one of two cars in the UK, its a bit special, and since there was no website covering the period history of the car, lets do that too, and become a source of info. Production was only 554 of the model, so only about 120ish more than a Z432.
Still a Nissan, but Nissan's production sports coupe before the S30. It's the first generation Nissan Silvia, with model code CSP311.

Yes, I have also done it in Japanese also, as it is where most of the cars still exist. Covers history, design, motorsport and my work.
Enjoy.
