Whoray Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Hi all, Recently registered on forum and told by son (Luvemfast) that I should introduce myself. Have had an interest in Datsuns for many years and being a foundation member and Life member of NDSOC, I have had many Datsuns & Nissans, including below. Past: 1965 Fairlady 1500 sports, 1966 Fairlady 1600 sports, 1967 Fairlady 2000 sports ( for 7 years), 1969 Fairlady 2000 sports, 1976 260Z 2 + 2 (for 17 years), 1975 260Z 2 seater. Currently: 280 ZX 2 seater (shared with Luvemfast), 1986 200ZR (soon for sale), and recently purchased 280ZX Scuderia from Dave-hl. Hoping to get the new 280 going soon. (and then beating Simon on the track). Needs some minor body work, new ecu Etc. Ron Quote

luvemfast Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 and then beating Simon on the track Thats the day I'll give up cars and take up knitting But if you sell the 200ZR, you'll have to change your username? Quote
chev z Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I'm backing the ladies in your family to beat you at that, as well. Welcome Ron and hi pearly simon Quote
Sirpent Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Hey Ron Welcome, now can you keep this upsatrt in line ? Cheers John Quote
luvemfast Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I'm feeling the love. If anyone wants me, I'll be in my room. Quote
lightmaster240z Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 It nice to have a father and son on board, welcome. May be you can keep him under control Quote
Whoray Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 Finally sold 200ZR and started on Scuderia 280ZX and changed name to Whoray. Repairs to front spoiler damage and smashed drivers mirror. Small areas of rust treated and painted. (Bonnet, left front guard, rear hatch, around fuel filler, passenger door) EFI removed and triple 44 Mikuni's and new fuel pump fitted. New brake pads fitted all round. Of course woudn't start, finally worked out that timing was not standard. Moved leads one position and it started after unknown years idle, although rough and backfiring badly. Simon came round 2 days later and without him touching anything it started and ran well without backfires. Guess it was just his presence. Quote
Sirpent Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 So Ron When are you going to show up this offspring of yours ? he must of got his Midas touch from you so there are some big expectations here. Welcome back John Quote
MaygZ Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Welcome Ron. I don't really care where you beat Simon (Sheldon) as long as you beat him .... with a big stick! Quote
luvemfast Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Ahem.................... I believe that I did rotate the dizzy! I've got the knack They are old pics of car. I'm really surprised with how good it's come up. Looking good I took some video on my iPhone of the lovely sound of triple Mikuni's. But it didn't work. It was surprisingly smooth in the way it revved! I'm riding dad, whoray, to get it to the Xmas BBQ at Gordo's Quote
Sirpent Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Simon I'm impressed, that was a very refrained cordial well structured response, not your usual best, are you mellowing? John Quote
luvemfast Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Simon I'm impressed, that was a very refrained cordial well structured response, not your usual best, are you mellowing? John Well I must apologize, I've been reading a book my 5 year old daughter wrote today. And I'm clearly stuck in the same writers zone. It goes a little something like this. "The Adventures of Harmony" "One day Harmony was out playing. Then I saw a tree that was full of blackberries. Then I picked some blackberries. I'm going camping today. I asked my mum to go camping with me. So we packed everything and left. I asked my mum to see to do my big adventure and mum said yes! We had so much fun, then I realized they forgot their lunch. They gone back home and we also forgot our breakfast. Then we saw a funny thing. We saw a flying spider. The End" Still a better love story than Twilight! Quote
luvemfast Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Oh. By the way. How did you go with that exhaust leak dad? I'll let you tell the story Quote
Sirpent Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 As the saying goes From the mouths of Babes................ Priceless Simon Quote
Whoray Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 As Simon said, when first started it had a leaking exhaust. Turned out to be non existant gasket between extractor and front pipe. Only 2 of 3 bolts holding it together. Replaced gasket and all good. Actually drove into garage for first time. Clutch seems good, brakes need bleeding after new pads installed. Cut and polish and then inspection for Club plates. Quote
Whoray Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 Car had been swiped down drivers side before purchase leaving mirror in pieces and slight marks on panels. Mirror stuck together and panels only needed cutting back. Quote
Whoray Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 Spoiler was cracked and pieces missing. Quote
