  1. Not exactly the way I would build a 240z. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCACpqvHISBbfy7hD4oQzpbA But a lot of custom bodywork.
  2. 2+2 for sale $2,600 https://www.facebook.com/groups/740335446098903/permalink/1343248885807553/?sale_post_id=1343248885807553
  3. I am guessing the CSP311 has the same ladder based chassis as the SP311's did. Which in theory means you could swap the body to a better frame if required? Since they are not like unibody cars like the S30Z? Or is there more differences than that? *Disclaimer, I've only seen 1 CSP311 in person in all these years and that was nearly 20 years ago!
  4. Just saw this. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1648952139&member_hash=7c982e0bdc2fcbd8c2c27bdf1cc436f59983e2800dd44aad89&tm=email&et=46&mt=7F1F0D31-C106-4483-BC9A-C7464ADF110F I've been wondering if 2+2 ones will be the same in terms of the outer 1/4 shape around that area. I suspect the upper half of the 2+2 1/4 panel is what is different (shape wise). Mine is also rooted... https://photos.app.goo.gl/lHjFdKMG4WNyDKeC2
  5. What year 260z? The radiator support varies across years of 260z. Petrol filler area should be same same.
  6. The soaring value of Japanese cars. https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/soaring-value-of-japanese-sports-cars
  7. The original wog boys of Melbourne. Some funny old cars in this clip. Before social media, this is how you met chicks moite! Same street today. https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Bouverie+St,+Carlton+VIC+3053/@-37.8023072,144.962162,3a,75y,34.34h,84.35t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sa3ghjJthSlmzdrxuS_qOgQ!2e0!3e11!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x6ad642cd5ac0b017:0xab0ab12b802f882b!8m2!3d-37.8034616!4d144.9618902
  8. I believe HIT300 is now known as: http://www.overline.com.au/ Which is the same company as: Automotive Instrument Repairs
  9. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/moorabbin/cars-vans-utes/datsun-240z/1183410731 HS30-01551 No photos of it.. Asking price is $25k. Located in Moorabbin Victoria. Seller name John.
  10. haha same, these old cars are a bit soft, not sure I like hoisting them up like that.
  11. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273242289576 HLS30-00656 on eBay.
  12. Duly noted and corrected.
  13. As an FYI, I'm also thinking of doing bulk orders for items like interior panels, seat foams etc.. since postage via Air is so expensive, it makes sense to bring in a few via Sea (just long delay) and sell locally. However this first bulk order is a trial really. See how well this sort of thing works.
  14. Hey Dave, RE: The rear panel finisher piece, yes early cars have a vented rear panel, but many are in poor shape now. I believe reproductions exist. The 1 in #150 is a bit warped out of shape (wavy) so I'll likely buy a reproduction. https://zcarsource.com/interior-parts/panels-trims/interior-hatch-panels/hatch-panel-240z-260z-280z I can try and find second hand ones, but not sure they will be any good? Got you down for vertical defrost glass.
  15. Thanks mate, Ibiza light switch purchased! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/263576704615
  16. Could be useful. https://www.zeddsaver.com/collections/engine-bay/products/datsun-su-carburetor-repair-kit-b https://www.zeddsaver.com/collections/engine-bay/products/datsun-240z-su-carburetor-hose-clamps https://www.zeddsaver.com/collections/engine-bay/products/datsun-240z-su-carburetor-hoses
  17. Hi Folks, I am missing the following for #1415 In need of rear strut tower plastic caps (uncracked and minimal gouging of plastics please!) Fuse box fastener. I've got 1 missing #2. Please. The little chrome clips that go on the door cards where the handles are. The ends where the nuts are (cover). Looking for a passenger headlight bucket with all mounting screws (not broken) and not rust / dents. Ideally in faded white... Dead pedal rubber (foot rest) mine is missing and sick of whacking my head on it when working under the dash. Dashboard mat to cover cracks. I had a really simple slim cover on my old 240z years ago. Perhaps someone knows where I can get material to make? Long shot but original nichira exhaust muffler? Passenger arm rest with original mounting bolts please! Engine inspection light (or as MCM refer to it as Ibiza light) - the plastic switch on mine is snapped. So looking for another light or switch component. I was going to ask for brake cylinder caps, but I believe my ones might be the original style (that don't lock in, but push down only). Learn something new everyday! Example: Early example 1 example 2 Later example 1 example 2 example 3 (locking caps). Grub screw that holds night / day knob on rear view mirror. Mine has come off and I just have the plastic piece, not sure how it attaches to the mirror itself? That's all for now.
  18. Yeah I thought I'd seen it before. Here is a nice 1 in LA. https://www.cars.com/articles/petersen-automotive-museum-opens-an-ode-to-japanese-cars-1420700128920/
  19. I'm keen on Mikunis for spare parts. I'd also grab E30 head but freight will be a hassle.
  20. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323276757532
  21. Yes, but I'll need to buy ice cream then!
  22. Link to discussion on printing the swivel part (I can't recall where I saved this file). https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheZGang/permalink/1421280271240440/ https://www.dropbox.com/s/idvpznxjcp2uyuq/light parts .zip light parts .zip
  23. I'm putting this easter egg here as a reminder for myself. (Forgot I posted this here) https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/datsun-makers-group/things/page:1 When I was putting the door card back on I found the little plastic washer that goes behind the window crank. On my 72 240z I'm missing these and keep forgetting to source them. However the above link has a template for 3D printing these. So I might give that a try.
  24. Actually I may know of a car that would be good to turn into a circuit race car..
  25. Order list link is in the first post of this thread.
