Last weeks taste of summer had a few Z cars out and cruising the streets wishing the summer like weather would stay. I for one had an urge to get the 260z from storage early.
This weekends forecast is sunny skies so if you are one of the lucky ones to get your Z out early post some pictures! |

Welcome to the Atlanticz.ca website. In case you are new please feel free to join the site. We are a passionate group of Datsun and Nissan car fanatics located out of the Atlantic provinces but have members from the USA and around the world as well. If you are already a member you can also find us on Facebook as well.
Update time the most recent Z car get together was held on July 7th-10th in Moncton. For the last few years we have been mirroring our event with the Moncton National Car show. The turnout has been very strong and we have been fortunate to secure a great sport near the upper level with shade and sun. The music and the classic cars makes this a must see event if you have never been. Besides the Z cars and antiques there are various other cars, imports, tuners, Monster trucks, rat rods, dragsters and even some Canadian tire sunfire wannabe's. It's a blast to see what people get passionate about.
I have posted the pictures of the winners cars (Most of the time you can only win one year in a row unless there are no other entrants so hope springs eternal) All of this years winners were worthy cars in great shape that show a lot of pride of ownership. Link to the winners is here.
Here is the link to the 2011 winners cars: http://www.atlanticz.ca/forums/index.php?topic=3164.msg17400#new

Thanks to all who attended and we are looking forward to seeing even more of you next year in 2012.
Sincerely,
AZCP Andrew Oulton |

Message from our 2011 President |

2011 - a new year for the Atlantic-Z club members and a new chapter for myself. Hello and welcome to Atlantic Z.
First thing, I would like to do is welcome anyone who has never been here before. Please feel free to join the community. We are a very friendly group of Z enthusiasts and everyone is welcome to join and post on our boards. You don't even need to own a Z car to become a member. I personally owned one in my youth and then joined years after I had sold my car. I was looking all over for Z cars from Montreal, Toronto and even thinking about heading down to the USA for my dream car.
In the end I sent out a little joke post saying I wanted a 5 speed 84 AE with under 100k for a price I could handle and not even a day later "I have one" came the reply. So a trip down to Halifax and boom I was back in the fold. Like every stop along the way, I met quite a few of the local members and can honestly say we have a great bunch of guys and gals on the forum.
Second, I would like to welcome back all Z car member enthusiasts for another great year of "new" cars, friendship and knowledge sharing!
Last years president Paul Wilcox did an amazing job and I am really honored to have been voted the challenge of following in his footsteps.
The big event this year will again be the Moncton Nationals. Last year we changed from the Halifax waterfront one-day-event to the 4 Day Moncton Nationals and it was a great turnout! Our goal this year is to get even more of you and your cars out on the roads to the nationals and for us to capture even more rogue owners into our web. So if you see any Z cars, Datsuns or what have you get them a card and tell them to drop over and join.
It's a family friendly community and you will only find positive support for our love of these cars. So please check us out, join up if you haven't already and then get those cars out and spread the word.
Sincerely,
Andrew Oulton
President 2011

7th Annual Atlantic Z Car Club Rally at the 2010 Atlantic Nationals in Moncton a Success
I would like to take a moment a congratulate all of you in helping to make this year’s club rally one of the best yet. Starting the cruise up from the valley Friday with members joining the convoy in Sackville, Truro and along the way. Thanks to Hector and Linda for booking a place for us to eat and recharge, atmosphere was relaxing and we all got to talk and get to know one another better. The street dance/show was great and it was the start of a great weekend.
Saturday was a full day and I’d like to thank Ross, Brad, Bob and Jim for kicking it off at the park. The amount of cars that we ended up with was terrific, 33 at the end of the day I believe. I would like to congratulate the award winners again and hope you enjoyed your day. We would like to thank Terry Gibson and Champlain Nissan for hosting a BBQ and picture opportunity which was a wonderful sight to see them all together amongst the flags. The cruise along the river was enjoyed by all and was a pleasure to be driving instead of sitting. To those that went to the dance I hope you all had a good time and I have the feeling it’ll even be better next year.
Sunday, what can you say, I have to take a minute and thank Bob and his crew for always cooking breakfast. We all appreciate this even if it doesn’t get said enough sometimes, and he’ll have two stoves next year. A little rain did come Sunday but that didn’t stop us from having a good turn-out again. Combining our annual event with the Nationals event went smoothly and will be continued from here on end. It was a day to relax and socialize before heading to the awards and I would like to congratulate Rejean Desjardins for winning multiple awards and representing the club as he does.
For pictures of the events check out our gallery of the event here. Also check out the forum posts on this event and join in the conversation here.
In closing I must say that the AZCC is moving forward every year and it’s mainly because of the people that enjoy their cars and helping one another. Stay safe and enjoy the ride until we get together again.
P.S. Sussex Balloon Festival is on September 11 & 12 mark this on your calendar and join us again. Stay tuned for details in the near future.

I would like to welcome standing and new members to Atlantic Canada's Datsun/Nissan Club. We have seen our site grow to over 60,000 hits a month so this tells us we are going in the right direction. First I would like to thank everyone for electing me to represent you this year. I have been a member for 5 years now and have had my 1984 300zx 50th anniversary for that time. With the help of a great executive, Bob Henwood, Jim Brennen, Peter Sansome, Ross Parks and Jeffrey Richard I'm positive we can have another successful year.
This year our main event to come together is at the Atlantic Nationals in Moncton on July 9th- 11th. I am hoping that we have the best turnout the club has seen at this event. Come and show your support be it 1 day or the weekend.
Objectives for the year:
Have an annual club meeting while we are all together at the nationals.
Have an event we can go to as a club and have a cruise/show as we did last year at the Balloon Festival in Sussex.
Create a contact list for members with names and phone numbers.
Mainly to have a safe enjoyable summer and enjoy our cars.
If anyone has a creative idea for the club please get in touch with one of our members or myself and share it with us. Looking forward to meeting everyone this summer...
Paul Wilcox
