Spinifex Steve Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Hi all, I’ve lurked around this forum occasionally in the past and thought I’d finally introduce myself. I’m based in Brisbane and have been an on-and-off Z-owner since I was at university in the late 90’s, when I had a 2+2 that did duty both as a daily driver and occasional weekend track car. Several years ago I picked up a 260Z two-seater in reasonable condition – not so pretty as to put me off tinkering with it, but not a heap either. It then collected dust in the garage due to a lack of time to do anything with it until I recently pulled it out ready to begin playing with it. My first order of business is to simplify – remove all of the unnecessary gear (air-con, aftermarket stereo etc) to minimize engine bay and under-dash clutter and assist tracking down the gremlins in a 35 year old wiring loom. Once that’s done you’ll probably see me in the “parts wanted” section trying to track down some bits and pieces. See y’all round! Quote
peter t Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Welcome mate. What your plans for the air con. Also are Nth Or Sth side? Good to see another Z getting back on the road. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted October 21, 2012 Moderators Posted October 21, 2012 Welcome... I've removed kilos of un-needed/wanted cabling from many zeds.. Its great when you find house wiring running through the car! Quote
Spinifex Steve Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 I'm northside (Taringa to be precise). I've no plans for the aircon, will probably pass it on if there are any takers. I'm not certain of its provenance, the evaporator and condensor are probably genuine but the compressor and receiver/dryer don't look like it. Do you know where Brisbane Z-owners congregate? I wouldn't mind catching up to try and suss out some goods sources for parts and workmanship around the traps. Quote
peter t Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Hi mate, If you want to part with the air con bits for a slab I will take them. Us Z guys don't congregate much except at shows and in the case of the Z car club guys you will have to ask them. I personally have done my Z up to enjoy the car so I go for drives myself but always post up where I am going in case other Z owners want to tag along for the day. You are quite welcome to come to my place on weekends when I am home to check out my car and talk Z stuff. If I can help you with anything in regard to what I have done or where I have bought parts, here or US I will help you out. Hope this helps. This is a great forum and I have been helped by lot of great guys with a wealth of information when fixing up my Z. Quote
Spinifex Steve Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 No worries Peter, I'll let you know when the air-con comes out - it could be a while, I'm tied up with work for the next few weeks. I've already found plenty of useful info on the forum and look forward to having something to contribute myself! Quote
