  1. If there is 1 thing I hate, it's those hideous poorman connectors. I had to remove them in my white 71 as that was how the alarm system was integrated into the car. Ugh... Pretty sure he doesn't want to do another after that also?
  2. Other company I've heard of is Lumley https://www.lsvcarinsurance.com.au/
  3. Absolutely, I was just looking to practice
  4. Oh nice, do they do an early version (with the hatch vent holes pressed into it)? The only difference with early vs later hatches is those vents, so if they only make that piece you can just cut out the vents and patch them into a non vented 1. I spent ages at my night Tafe panel beating class shaping that lower section, it's actually not flat at the bottom but curved which complicated things for a newbie like me. The problem though is that often the hatch frame is rusted out also, not just the upper skin. I have another early hatch I got off someone else who had started to try and repair it, it was a bit beat up. So an excellent guinea pig for trying to repair with a new skin panel like that.
  5. None spare, I would need to get more made.
  6. Lovely, great progress.
  7. If you got a PM from DaveBrook7 I've just deleted this member. Upon further investigation they appear to be a Russian scammer.
  8. Topic locked group buy is full.
  9. Hmmm I've got the same issue with my 240z, I assumed it was the cable that gets out of round or square over time. But perhaps not, although I don't hear anything in terms of noise from mine when driving. I don't yet know how to fix it though!
  10. Club mail came through however...via the contact form.
  11. Testing emails from the site. Did you get a notification?
  12. The radio delete pocket is actually quite rare!
  13. I suspect it's the difference between OEM ones, vs reproduction ones available via 240zrubberparts https://www.240zrubberparts.com/product-page/70-71-am-radio-faceplate-complete The top 2 are reproductions I bought, the bottom 1 is an original (hence the chipped corner).
  14. 2x AM Hitachi Radios https://www.ebay.com/itm/204587898795 Asking: US $2,250.00 https://www.ebay.com/itm/204587907360 Asking: US $1,880.00 The more pricey of the 2 has fully working signal seek, the less pricey 1 has an issue with a worn plastic gear that prevents the signal seek working as expected according to the seller.
  15. #718 on Collecting Cars. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1971-datsun-240z-2
  16. What fuel pump are you using? Mechanical or electric?
  17. It's not red is it?
  18. Is it the cowl panel you need (sits below windscreen)?
  19. Just bumping this up as a reminder again. Had a few new members join and try this scam again. Accounts have been deleted. From now on I'm going to be even stricter with new member post approval. Do not send money to new members with 0 posts or to anyone telling you to email someone else who has a part you're after. I may look into ways of reading PMs being sent by new members so I can catch these scams early on.
  20. Both are scammers who's account has been deleted. Hope you didn't send them any money?
  21. Confirming embedded content should be fixed!
  22. Worth revisiting this old topic perhaps? https://www.viczcar.com/forums/topic/6612-honda-civic-wiper-motor-replacement/ Write up here: http://ace240z.com/HondaMotorUpgrade.html You can find these Honda Motors new on eBay too around $180. But as Alan mentioned in this comment: Thread comment I'm not sure if he's referring to the Alternator or the wiper motor though?
  23. Hi Folks, I've noticed 2 things failing when posting replies here. 1. Youtube embedded videos produce a 403 result. 2. Quoting other topics/comments seems to also fail due to the embedding. I'm not sure why yet, but will chase it up with the software providers to understand if it's a server configuration issue. Update: Posted in support forum here.
  24. Hi Jeff, You may want to redact your email from a public forum/post. Helps prevent unwanted spam and scammers from sending you messages. Best to send Craig a PM.
  25. Another scammer recently signed up and tried it on. Have blocked him/her and deleted their account, but just be wary if you're getting PMs with offers to contact other people with parts etc..
