ar610 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 OK everyone - I pulled this rust bucket up the Clyde today and it is now at home ready to be cannibalised. All I need is diff, half shafts, companion flanges brake master, and I'll pull out the front struts and brakes to see it I want to use them. The bonnet, 5 speed, fly, speedo cable are sold pending payment. The good bits: Glass is all there, except driver targa roof (there but broken). Chrome looks fairly complete Interior seems fairly intact Mechanically looks all good. 250K on the clock, L28E doesn't leak and looks clean. Can't start as the dizzy cap is missing, but will compression test over the weekend. Fuel injection setup all there 5 speed feels tight by the shifter Rubber (seals etc.) fairly intact there was a free TV in it! Bad bits: Rust. Coast car exposed the the elements. Passengers door looks straight. Nothing else does, unless someone is feeling patient. The hatch was straight when I picked it up, but some clown has removed the bolts holding the top in, and it got caught by a gust of wind just short of braidwood and caused the damage you can see in the pic below.

DatPilot Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 sweet! Im keen on the engine (just the block/head/sump/intake manifold and the gear on the manifold) to be put on a stand and rebuilt with ARP studs etc for 15 psi. Can you list the head casting? (E88 or N42 or something) Also keen on the rims! (need some to make my Z31 to roll around) In Canberra too. Quote
BobsYourUncle Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 You said the gearbox is sold, how about the bolts that attach the gearbox bell housing to the engine? Quote
C.A.R. Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 AR: Ive instructed Alister to grab the MC & dizzy for myself, while he's up there. Quote

Rims too, a bloke may be picking up the only mag that's on the car, else you can have the two light truck wheels and some other dodgy piece of crap that were on it. I'll throw the spare in if I sell the mag so you get a set of four. Call/SMS me. Quote
ar610 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Posted August 14, 2010 You said the gearbox is sold, how about the bolts that attach the gearbox bell housing to the engine? I'll drop the gearbox out tomorrow, and keep the bolts. Reimburse me for my postage costs and they're yours. Quote

Still good for it got a mate looking to put disks on the rear of his R30... any chance this has disks? are the handbrake cables siezed up at all? Rear discs are functional, I know as one of the front hoses was cut but brakes still worked. Handbrake functional too, so I'd say the cables are OK. I'll part with the complete rear subframe inc. brakes, cables, lines, x-member, trailing arms etc. for $100, should be a fairly easy conversion. From memory when I was crawling around under an R30 years ago it looked very similar. I'm going to keep diff, halfshafts and companion flanges. I'm quite confident R30 flanges will go on the ZX stub.

luvemfast Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 What sort of condition are the tail lights in? I'm thinking of changing to series 2, I like the black lines that run horizontally. How much to post them down to 3138? Ta, Simon Quote
