Your car, your decision, but if I can steer you in another direction. How about a Fairlady 240Z-R? Photos below. These are the cars that the Rocket Bunny kit draws inspiration from in my opinion. http://www.yatsuzaka.com/gallery/PC/N-Z.HTML HS30-H Works HS30-S

Fair enough, sounds like it's just as bad as mine then! I would have been more careful removing mine if I thought I was gonna get stuck repairing it.. lesson learnt.

Hmmm it's better and worse than the 1 I'm repairing at the moment... http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/13587-rear-slam-panel-rust-repair/page-3 More photos of repair work here. https://goo.gl/photos/aoBzTdsdG81jxcRE7 My problem is I'm a perfectionist, so not entirely happy with my repairs so far. Any chance you could send more photos of the lower section? Just wondering how bad it is? Looks like a few holes in it from rust?

Please lord no... your car but not needed. Your S30Z is blue, look at this Fairlady 240Z-L for inspiration. https://petrolicious.com/articles/this-nissan-fairlady-240z-l-is-a-rare-japanese-survivor The Rocket Bunny kit will eventually be a "dated" thing people did to these cars.. kind of like the Eleanor kit of the Mustang Fastback from Gone in 60 seconds (which I still kind of like) but I'd prefer a genuine GT500 without all the fiberglass.

For those who like Patina.

Try eBay US. I got a set on Yahoo! Auctions a while back.

Beautiful example. Welcome.

Said parts car doesn't have a rear valance panel does it?

Let me know if you don't intend to keep the old door skins?

Deoxidine or anything called metal conditioner. Will get the rust off. I am using VHT paint on my RX-7 discs on the raw steel area, will see how long it lasts.

Friend in SFO reckons he's gonna package up a bunch of stuff for me to ship out of Compton LA. In the interim I have rear 1/4 panels coming in, and I have another roof and door to ship over still.

The mobile version of the site doesn't have the upload section with it. However if you request full version of the site from Mobile device you should be able to upload an image that way. Bit of a pain I know.

He's already planning to change the dashboard... That makes me sad..

He butchered the FD RX-7 with a Rocket Bunny kit... Hope he doesn't destroy the 240z..

Drilling out spot welds is such a chore.. was messing with my early hatch over the weekend. Preparing to separate frame and skin.

Sold already..

I have been busy with the other toy (RX-7) doing a full cooling system overhaul and coolant flush / burp.. https://photos.app.goo.gl/C2a8lvx74ijg1IqF2 I have been putting this job off for ages, but when I went down for the Christmas BBQ last year, I drove my RX-7 to Peter's place before we drove the 2+2 to Melbourne. I noticed the car was leaking coolant, and decided it was time to do something about it. I had originally intended to spend 1 or 2 days on this max over the Easter Break..but things never to go plan. 1. I switched out the Y-pipe, early FDs have a plastic cross over pipe that over time can flex/crack and cause a boost leak. Mine was fine, but I had bought the later Y-pipe ages ago and decided now was as good time as any to replace it, but it's a pain in the butt to reach the nuts that secure it in the engine bay, as you can see the twin turbo rotary engine bay is very compact! Finally got that replaced and cleaned up the grease and crap that had accumulated around the area over the years, since it's impossible to clean well with it on the car. 2. I discovered the cause of a slow coolant leak, the turbo coolant lines had red crap all over them (dried red coolant). https://photos.app.goo.gl/4zmUm8UaJQh8VPxi2 1 of the rubber hoses was weeping coolant onto the line. So glad to find it and fix it with a new hose and clamps. 3. I replaced the water pump (old 1 was fine, but starting to make a little noise in the bearing) and the thermostat which had slightly torn rubber. I also replaced the plastic AST (Air Separation Tank) which are known to explode and drop your coolant everywhere leading to overheating and cooking your coolant seals in a rotary. The replacement is an alloy tank with uprated pressure cap which helps keep the system temps down. I upgraded to a Koyo radiator when I still owned the car in Ireland years ago when the original radiator shat itself and split a plastic end tank. The early FD RX-7's are known for cooling system being marginally adequate in stock form, so upgrading to a better Koyo is well worth it. 4. Unfortunately to get to some of the trickier coolant hoses you need to remove the UIM (Upper Intake manifold) and under it is a mess of hoses for the twin turbo set up. Known affectionately as the rats nest. I took many reference photos to make sure I put it all back as it was. Unfortunately the previous person who removed the intake elbow used the wrong nuts on the threads and cross-threaded it, so I had to cut it off with the dremel and then fix the studs and replace the nuts etc.. I cleaned up the UIM with a wire brush-although ideally would water blast or polish it completely. 5. Noticed the rear turbo oil drain line was weeping oil, replaced gaskets (hopefully that fixes it). 6. Unfortunately the car was discovered to be unregistered (probably my fault) I had paid Green Slip, Got Pink Slip and my insurance is paid, but I must have forgotten to pay registration and it lapsed. So now I have to get a blue slip again. Hopefully she passes and I can re-register easily and be able to drive it. I haven't even been able to test drive it and make sure the twin turbo's are working after I messed with all those hoses. 6. Next job is to replace the brakes with upgraded RZ/Spirit R/RS size brakes (bigger discs) the calipers are off being powdercoated red and I'll use a seal kit when I get them back... Should improve stopping power and eliminate brake fade - although I have never noticed it with the standard smaller brakes, I figured if I'm going to rebuild the whole brake system may as well go with the upgraded brakes. 7. I also have an upgraded intercooler I want to fix (in stock location), which will keep intake temps down.. tempted to upgrade exhaust system and remap for 300+HP but that will need to wait I think and I should really fix the aircon first. Looking forward to taking it on a drive day with some S30Z's (since my S30Z's are not ready yet)..

72 240z at $24k with a couple days to go in the US. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-240z-48/ Not long ago they would top out around this price for an HLS30.

3 month + wait at Ztherapy due to backlog of work. Looks like I might have 4 complete sets only.
