Ok I'm going to split this thread and sticky that post. Since it's so useful to know. RE: Engine bolts. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/16206-bellhousing-to-engine-bolt-spec/?p=192983 08111-03010 qty: x 5 08110-82510 qty: x 2 So I tried to apply your formula but I'm confused? How would you interpret these? 08111-03010 - I translated to: 081 = "hex headed bolt" 1 = "Low Carbon steel with Flat or Round end" 1-0 = "nominal dimensions" (ie 10mm) 030 = length in mm 10 = "surface finish / cotter pin hole" - 1 = Zinc coated, 0 = no cotter pin hole. 08110-82510 - I translated to: 081 = "hex headed bolt" 1 = "Low Carbon steel with Flat or Round end" 1-0 = "nominal dimensions" (ie 10mm) 825 = 8.25 length in mm? 10 = "surface finish / cotter pin hole" - 1 = Zinc coated, 0 = no cotter pin hole. Does that work?

I can't remember now, but Issac (the wood chipper out in Penrith) has a few and gave me a set a while ago. So he might know who was making them? They were pretty good! Or try email here: http://www.240zrubberparts.com/

Just an FYI, got quite a few PMs about this. I haven't had a chance to respond to each individually. I will be flying to San Francisco on Sunday and will be spend (Sunday 1 day behind in US) looking at some stuff to import back. I will be keeping everyone's requests in mind as I look through stuff and focus on the harder to find rare stuff. At this stage I'm not doing a full container load, I'll be looking to add my stuff with a bunch of other stuff. However if demand is there in future I'll definitely look at a container load or more or even full cars to part out. I'm trying to keep the investment in this on the lower side for now, to see what it costs all up and then look at feasibility of doing more in future. I will try and reply to all your PMs shortly. Just been busy with work (since it is a work trip after all). Cheers,

http://www.viczcar.com/forum/user/100293-1600dave/ Has a manual with every fastener it's thread pitch, size etc.. If you ask nicely he might look it up for you. I've been hoping to get access to it and make a PDF version since it would be extremely useful to have as a reference. I believe it should be the same bolts used on the 4 banger's (L4) since they share the same bell housing so might be able to get some off 1 of those engines (if you can find a wreckers with them still these days).

Good to know the history. https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/how_it_works_air_conditioning

Since Tafe is in a state of flux with no certainty around the future of the paint and panel section. There is also this option. https://www.facebook.com/events/317757968645724/?acontext=%7B%22ref%22%3A%2229%22%2C%22ref_notif_type%22%3A%22event_calendar_create%22%2C%22action_history%22%3A%22null%22%7D&ref=notif&notif_t=event_calendar_create&notif_id=1496890843292203 Introduction to Rust Repair Sections Class Public · Hosted by MotoRRetro I'll probably move to this course if Tafe is shut down.

Yes I updated the other thread. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14448-the-global-z-car-s30s130-market-thread/?p=192904 It's a good price for an "unrestored" car in North America that's for sure..

Mint 260z 2 seater on Trademe.co.nz (read it with a kiwi accent it's funnier) Asking $42,000 NZD. http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1343141766 Chassis RS30 - 000753

Pair of "260z" seats in brown vinyl in mint shape here for $800. https://www.facebook.com/groups/downunderdatsuns/permalink/1569655749720350/ Bit of black vinyl paint could "fix" the colour.

Sold for $39,000 USD. The days of finding cheap HLS30s seem numbered.

I tend to agree, the good stuff doesn't even hit the open market generally speaking and if it does by then it's too late. Too much competition!

Blue car around Wollongong area. Not the white eBay car.

This 1.. You can see difference here: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/13512-nissan-big-valve-cover/ Do you know what cylinder head you have? Is it N42 or P90 or something else? It's usually stamped just above the spark plugs toward the front of the engine block.

Well on the plus side the valve cover is worth a bit. It's the LARGE Nissan cover. Which is rare now. Every American will chew your arm off for it, but when you quote a price will go quiet haha. Now is the time to decide if you keep it or move along I think (before you spend large). How much bog are we talking and how much will the rust repair cost? Do you still love it?

Did you see this? http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/1924-cars-for-sale-3rd-party-sites-ebay-carsales-etc/?p=192351 Nick has a lot of experience with these cars, if he says it's a big job it's probably a big job. It looks like it was de-listed... maybe someone has taken the plunge?

Isn't that what you're looking for? Same car was for sale not that long ago on Facebook.. not sure if it sold then?

Past performance isn't an indicator of future performance. Having said that I agree, I bought my 72 240z for $7,500 in 2002. Not sure what it's really worth now, but insured value is around $50k. I haven't had to "invest" that much in it in comparison because it was already a well sorted car and had a lot of money and time sunk into it by the previous owner. I've been able to do a few customisations and enjoy it. It's far from perfect but in terms of rust repair work. It only has a tiny amount of rust in the doors and around the petrol filler (where they have that moisture trap). I'm sure there is a little more here and there but nothing outrageous. I will get to these issues at some point but the rust hasn't actually got any worse since I owned it because it's been garaged. It would cost significantly less to restore that car buying it at $50k than a $5k rust heap. But not everyone has the capital upfront to do it that way either. #150 is not actually that bad, but taking a leaf out of your book I've decided to start looking for the best panels I can find because working on worse ones takes more time and often costs more. It's not that it can't be done, but the overall fit and finish is not as good in my opinion. I'm on the cusp of giving up on my bonnet and just finding a better 1 for example as I've just dedicated so much time to it and make so many mistakes along the way, but that's how I learn what not to do next time. #51 completely different kettle of fish... not even gonna get into that.

I haz same feelz George, but what can you do? Sometimes people only learn by finding out for themselves. But seeing all those 10k rust buckets is why I decided it's time to start importing panels. Those fellas are gonna need them!

Agree, but in some cases you have limited options if you want a low VIN 240z for example. I took a look at #51 and my brain said nope. My heart said yes. I was encouraged by a partnr who probably liked the idea of me hanging around in the garage rather than being out chasing other women perhaps? haha. Having said that I already have a running / driving 240z so I can take my time, but I agree whole heartedly buy the best car you can. It will need work anyway so you'll still get to work on it and fix things (if that's your thing). Buying $5k rust buckets as abandoned projects... well...you'll spend $70k+ getting them right anyway..

$10k is much more realistic for a project needing a lot of work. This 1 on eBay sold over the weekend. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/240z-1973-/263001218182?rmvSB=true For what I thought was a cheap price, but I didn't see it in person. And up towards Newcastle is this. (which I think will sell close to $6-7k), but sure needs love. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-240z/172715687775 The cheapest projects often cost the most to restore. Where as the more expensive ones cost less to restore. Quite a few on CarSales too. https://www.carsales.com.au/car/datsun/240z/?area=Stock&vertical=car&WT.z_srchsrcx=makemodel& You'll have to forgive crowd here, you see we're used to every tom, dick and harry jumping on here and looking for a $5k project car. That ship has sailed unless you want a 2+2.

Halz was his name, sold in around 2006 http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/21802-my-240z-for-sale/ Images here: http://www.classiczcars.com/profile/989-halz/?do=content&type=gallery_image&change_section=1 Located in Perth, however...he stated.

Yeah it's a 73 alright, I recall a member on Classiczcars.com having a similar car. Hotwire wheels? Brown or tan interior?
