Nice, looks like it was a good buy. RB30 is a good motor and should be reliable and parts everywhere from the R31 (not seen much these days) Skyline and VL Commodore's. If you go turbo, I doubt you'll even need an RB25 head on it. MIA engines in DeeWhy should be able to look after you. I met another member this evening with a 260z in Campbelltown who asked about going for a drive. I reckon we should definitely organise something soon, the weather is getting nicer.

What's this early rotary (clone) going to sell for? https://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/2017-shannons-melbourne-spring-classic-auction/G99160TKEPG9T13/ She's not a genuine M10A coupe. It has the 1200 tail lamps, grille and dashboard. 1969 Mazda 1200 (Modified 13b) Coupe Guiding Range: $65,000 - $75,000

I believe sound is as good, the difference is that drivability wise I'm told the Mikuni/Solex are far better! I have a pair of Type R Mikuni 40mm carbs I'd sell for around $800-$900 mark... just need to find a third carb. Last 1 I was trying to get sold for $500+ (but it was close to NOS in condition).

I might have 1 in Melbourne...won't be able to check for a while though!

Bump... still got these. Make an offer?

Were the standard production colours a grayish colour? Was it a powder coated finish or something else? I guess I'm opening up that rabbit hole aren't I? I was going to get mine powder coated but after watching that video above I may attempt to paint it first and see how it turns out. I saw this finish recently on a LARGE NISSAN cover and really like it. However I also like the subtle black version as seen on the SMALL NISSAN cover. But I just sold a 'small' version hoping to find a Nissan 2400 OHC cover at some stage. I quite like the contrast of the red cover against Safari Gold and in lieu of the standard orange airbox that SUs have in an L-series engine bay. But on the other hand I like the subtle finish also. Good thing about valve covers is you can easily switch them around I guess...

The original bonnet from the car fit better or the NOS bonnet fit better? Yeah $600 is about right... mine has cost me at least double that and a big part of the cost was shipping.. But I've probably spent more than that in time / money for the night course and materials repairing the bent 1 from HS30 00150. Of course I have learnt a lot from it and you can't put a price on that part of it and it is the cars original bonnet!

Wrinkle red finish on valve cover. Looks like this is the black version on an S20 engine.

Yes Niles got that passenger side 1/4 panel.. (in Switzerland) and I got this driver side 1 recently. Cost a small fortune, but the 1/4 panel on HS30 00051 has had a bit of a hit and needs many hours spent on it to put right so this seemed like a better idea. They do come up for sale, but not often! I managed to also get a NOS hood/bonnet recently. Well at least I think it is, will find out when I collect it soon!

Yes well all his 2 minute sound byte videos are, but the Facebook kids love it.

Much better video quality this time, I could hear you! Rear of floor did look bad. I am hoping to salvage my floors. They are not too bad, a bit of panel beating and blasting might make them look decent again.

A better history than the History Channel version.

Realistically you would get another roof..

When I get a chance I will measure the weight of the wheels and post details here. I know someone with a couple. 14x7 Works Rally Mag from 240z. 14x5 Works Rally mag from Violet (or similar 4 banger)

Nah #FakeNews, those South East Asia specials look the same, therefore they must perform the same.

Peter I have a spare turret it's a little rough but has no frame. I have another on its way from the US with a turret and frame still together. Welcome to use it as a reference until I'm ready to unpick my roof on the 70.

Oscillator before and after... After Before After Before After Before And yes it works and keeps excellent time now!

#3 lid has had a repair (cracked anyway) so better off ordering via www.240zrubberparts.com if all you need is a lid. http://www.240zrubberparts.com/apps/webstore/products/show/6337398 No brackets sorry.

Anyone using 1 of these or have feedback on them? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Portable-Mid-Rise-Scissor-Car-Hoist-Vehicle-Scissor-Lift-Tyre-Shop-Home-Hoist-/122536242054?hash=item1c87baab86:g:iRgAAOSw7FRWVBVy Reason I'm looking at them is limited head height in garage and currently renting my place so need something that can easily be removed later. Thoughts?

Also honestly #4 is excellent really the repair is ok, but from the top side you cannot see any cracks or damage, if you re-chrome the trim ring it will look as good as a $400-$500 original. #2 is also very good with a clean up and the crack could be better repaired. I've seen similar sell for $250 USD on eBay US. If there is no interest here I'll advertise there.

If you see a combination of parts you want make an offer. Ashtray bits sold for around $40 AUD on eBay here recently. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/152669877221?rmvSB=true I prefer not to remove the chrome rings on these too often as the little tabs break from old age...

And a lot of plastic welding... No I didn't make them. They were done by Jay Ataka of JDM car parts. https://jdm-car-parts.com/collections/interior-trim-nissan-datsun-fairlady-z-240z-260z-280z-280zx/products/reproduction-fuse-cover-ash-tray-for-datsun-240z-series-1-1969-8-1971
