240z71 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Would have thought the legacy boys would be back in action by now? Anyone know if they are rebuilding the car or have they given up on it after their crash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.A.R. Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Is the Siddons car a 260z shell? '71 240 with aftermarket 260Z rear tail lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceburner Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The rear end looks 260z, the bumper bolt holes and exhaust cut out. Looks like they're off to a good start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zed74 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The rear end looks 260z, the bumper bolt holes and exhaust cut out. Looks like they're off to a good start Aftermarket LED lights fitted & yes in the 260z style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240z71 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I pretty sure but i may be wrong but the car was originally a 240z shell but a few years back he had a stack and wrecked the rear end so he grafted on the back section of a 260z that he had sitting around on to the front of the 240z. Don't know exactly where the 260z section starts but i think its from the rear of the floor section back is all 260z. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know exactly where the 260z section starts but i think its from the rear of the floor section back is all 260z. Correct - it was Targa high country a few years back & I think the rear strut towers were ok so it was a graft from there to the back (explains the holes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat2kman Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 At the time of that "off" Jon was running one of the kaaz diff centres, once it got very sideways, it simply opened up, and he lost full drive. It needed from rear towers back, the bit that was grafted on, got a severe ligthening procedure The LED lamp assy's are very light, and the wiring in the car is the smallest guage pissible, as LED's require very little amps. Car meets minimum weight requirements. Just like the quick Gp S circuit cars, 960-980 kg, in 260Z/280Z. Jon doesn't mind the wet, its the others that do! zed74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260DET Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Day 3 has been dry, Mr & Mrs. Siddins are now in 7th outright http://www.rallysportmag.com.au/home/other-news/tarmac/11371-white-extends-lead-on-day-three-of-targa-tasmania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat2kman Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 To show how close Jon and Gina are, they only need to pick up just SEVEN seconds, to be placed THIRD outright As each day passes, these time gaps will spread out a little.

Mike260LW Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Anyone notice what size and type tyres they are running? Jon normally runs 16" x 7" Dunlop DZ03G 205. Very good in the wet. I'm guessing he is running the soft compound. I thought the George Town Stage on Tuesday arvo was pretty telling with Jon and Gina placed third outright against all the moderns and 4WD drive combos! Sensational result. I think they suffered some kind of suspension damage yesterday (Wed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Medium compound I think he said and yeh, hit some debris on the road and damaged the front suspension on the last stage. So seventh overall with that damage is simply super, if they fixed the damage over night then watch out you pretenders, engine is smoking a bit though.
