Retro Z Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I think Biscuitballs has the mold for that spoiler. Quote
Stivva Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 I think its a little more aggressive, than the current one, but should totally look the part Quote
Enzo Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Stiva, It looks like this one. I really like the aggressive rake and I think it complements the GNose and flares. This is my favourite picture of a Zed. David Quote
Riceburner Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Stiva, It looks like this one. I really like the aggressive rake and I think it complements the GNose and flares. This is my favourite picture of a Zed. David Yeah +2 David. It's the city auto 240Z, L24 2958cc, 87mm pistons, L20 rods, LD28 crank, MSR45 flat slide carbs, 270ps @ 7500rpm. Super stiff springs front 10kg/mm rear 14kg/mm with TRD inserts, bolt in cage that has been welded in place, electric power steering for the huge tyres. Does quite well at the JCCA events. It would be an mental ride, could shake some fillings out too I think the two outer pieces are meant to be riveted onto the body, sikaflex 252 should do the job and save drilling holes in the new paintwork. Should look good with the flares Stiva. Few more pics Quote
Stivva Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 Thats the one, I think I might import it, but I am totally riveting the ends in as they were meant to be. I am going back to the panel shop come winter for a developing rust issue, so new paint.... Again! Quote
Stivva Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 New rear spoiler and wheels to come soon! Quote
zzzzed Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I bags your old spoiler when you get your new spoiler. Quote
d3c0y Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Your car is looking really good mate, unique take on the mirrors and wheels to stand out from the pack. What are the new wheels going to be? Quote
Brabham Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Hey mate, if you are getting one of those spoilers I would be interested as well so we could halve the postage. Have to be careful with EMS though as they will not send things over certain lengths. Put in AUD and it comes up with $380. It looks to be the "works type B" rear spoiler as run by the factory cars back in the day. Let me know if you are bringing one in. Your zed looks awesome too btw. I might bolt/tap screw one on so it can be removed easily if desired, can always drill out rivets though. Cheers Quote
Stivva Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 Will do. Today I finally bought the parts required to rebuild my hilux brakes so I can bolt them on! Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 12, 2013 Administrators Posted February 12, 2013 Looks like your g/f is as creative as you mate, must be a sight to see that car rolling along with her in the passenger seat and that bright pink hair! Quote
Fairlady Z Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Hahaha that is very cool. Love it. Heart breaker is the name of my speed boat so bit biased on the title Quote
SS30RR Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 that's dam funny. Are you in animation by trade? Quote
Stivva Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 No, but I have worked in design for a few years. My alternator or regulator is dead, and I was thinking of going the RB30 unit, whats involved in the changeover. Quote
nizm0zed Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I cant remember if i used the RB30 or RB25 unit, but it bolted up to the standard lower mount and top adjustable bracket. From there, it was a matter of connecting up the large white wire to the charge terminal, and the field excite wire to the charge light in the dash. Should be the same for yours? Do you still have the ammeter shunt in your car? (if it ever had it?) (I didnt have the charge light hooked up so i set it up with a diode to make it into a single wire installation) Quote
luvemfast Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 You'll also need to change over the sepentine pulley to a vee belt. I've done it to my car, no worries I think you can also use one from an EF/EL falcon Quote
Scoota G Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I like the VS V8 Birdcage alternator myself. 120 Amps and wires up with a $12 clip. I changed out the front cover on the alternator of a stock 80 amp unit and it's now bolted to my Ford V8 in the 2+2. Holden alternator on a Ford motor to a Datsun wiring loom. About $300 for the 120 Amp version on ebay. Quote

I've done it to my car, no worries I think you can also use one from an EF/EL falcon lol, forgot about that... I took the V pulley off my old alternator and mounted it on the RB alternator, using a couple of spacers to get it sitting right. Come to think of it, it may have possibly been a V pulley off a gemini alternator? But at the time i had several alternators sitting around i could pull bits and pieces off. Quote
SS30RR Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I like the VS V8 Birdcage alternator myself. 120 Amps and wires up with a $12 clip. Would love a pic if you've got one.......120AMPs.....wth......lol Quote
Pegasus Zed Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Hey Stivva i took the chance this long weekend to read the thread. must say im very impressed! Gives me alot of ideas and information for my zed, when i eventually get one... once again great build. Quote
Scoota G Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Would love a pic if you've got one.......120AMPs.....wth......lol Price has gone up a tad. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Brand-Bew-Holden-Calais-Commodore-VS-V8-alternator-12V-120A-/261119774203?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ccbf38dfb Quote
