My 1977 260Z 2 seater, RB25DET converted (lots of pics, be warned)

Is there an easy way of shrinking these pics so they can be clicked on to be made bigger?  Would be so much easier to read then, its shiverting me.

G'day mate,

If you upload your images to Image Shack then you can choose to have a thumbnail type link to the real picture.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Cheers,


Rob

Yeh thanks, it was, but I dont have the patience to load them individually from my photobucket account, it took a while just to do 1 and I cant upload them from my computer because a lot of my images on photobucket are from my laptop, im on my desktop now.  Some others are from the net too, so unless there is a way of uploading heaps at once via URL on image shack, we will just have to live with it.

[FuzzyDropbear]

Yeah, I have to admit, image shack doesn't seem to be the fastest service around 

However, I just had a bit more of a look around on imageshack to see if there was some way around your problem. I found that they have a toolbar you can download that allows you to upload images from a website, or multiple images from your computer.

Too tired to check it out, so I hope it works 

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Unfortunately it never worked
Well I finished putting the Sard 550cc injectors in today, was pretty easy to do, just had to be really carefull.
Im about to go out to the garage to put the alternator back on, then on sunday we are putting the flywheel and clutch back on.  I have leave for 2 weeks starting on Friday, so ill be spending every hour i can on the car till its driving again.  My plan is to have running again for "Marque in the park" which is massive car show here in Canberra on Sunday 25th Nov..

Injectors are in, ill post a pic when I get the chance.  Unfortunately, a friend who was meant to help put my clutch back in kinda stuffed me around and im 2 days behind, which means im not going to have it ready for Marque in the park, little dissapointed, but I can spend a bit more time getting it done properly now.

It's getting close though. I am excited. I been ogling your car for yonks now it almost feels like it is mine! Make sure you do the ye olde " video of me starting it up and laughing like a crazy loon " youtube post there arent enough of them.

[sco_aus]

lol, will do.  So what you reckon on the front bar?  Normal black, or colour coded?

[HELLFIRE!]

I think your new spoiler will work being black so long as there are other black pieces of trim for it to work with, otherwise it may look out of place.

[sco_aus]

Yeh, well i will be painting the flares black and so it should look fine.  ZD44TT has the same bar on the same colour and it looks good, but im trying to decide whether it would look better or not.  Im leaning towards black so that its easier to maintain since the car will be pushed hard most of the time, but i do want it to look good.

[zedevan]

one of each

its probably easier to paint it silver then change it to black than to do it the other way around?

[sco_aus]

yeh?I would have thought it to be the other way around, but i wouldnt have clue when it comes to painting and panel beating, someone else will be doing the painting and installing of both flares and bar.

[sco_aus]

Finally the engine is back i the car, just going through the painful process of plumbing it back up and figuring out what goes where and why I have so many bolts left
Ill get a pic of the new bling soon too.

[sco_aus]

Well for the last few days I have been preparing and cutting the guards for the flares. I found a fair amount of rust in the inner guard, but the outer has been previously repaired and bogged so thats one less worry.  I might have to look into that while im at it. I have installed the front flares (temp until i paint them) and the gent who welded my suspension will be welding my rear guards back together for me and also installing the nutserts as his friend has a tool for them for a good price.

I trial fitted the wheels etc today and i will be able to lower the car even more now, there was a pretty big gap between the guards and wheels
 
I will get pics up asap, but the car goes to the workshop this afternoon to get a run in tune so it wont be till after it returns from there and being welded too.

I also had it running for a minute yesterday to make sure there were no oil, water, intake or exhaust leaks and bingo, none.

Cant wait to drive it again

Not long to go for Tassie now Scott. I hope you are on the home stretch now. Make sure you don't lowere the car too much for the big trip. Some of the roads you might bottom out if we are travelling at a fast speed, especially with 2 people in the car. Some roads have a few bumps etc.
