Hi

James in Melbourne.
I have a foolish attraction to Lada Nivas - and own 2. One is a hardtop, the other a rare convertible - I'm the second owner, I bought it from TVs own Cameron Daddo! Smile

About to buy another one too. Common sense hasn't come into play yet.

BTW: I am a committee member for the Victorian chapter of Skylines Australian - Nissan Skyline based club. I recently sold my lovely R33 GT-R, and am now looking for a track-ready R32.

Hmmm s'pose I should sign on here too.

I am at this point in time, a very frustrated Lava Nida owner.

The beast in question is a 1984 1600, which I accepted in trade on my LJ50 zook.

It's had a bit of a hard life, but hopefully I'll soon have some minor bugs sorted out and I can try driving it Rolling Eyes

Already has longer springs in, for about 2-3 " of lift, and has 205r16 ATs on F55 Daihatsu rims.
