Sure, long time no speak! Hope you're doing well?

25 left..

It just looks longer in the photo and the shape of it seems a bit different (the curved side parts). Compare with photos here: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/12896-wtb-rear-bumper-2-seater-s30z/?p=186589 Still for $50 it's worth grabbing the front bumper in my opinion. Invest money in restoring it and they come up like brand new (if you go to a good plater that is).

Definitely 240z Hitachi SUs. Good price.

Looks like 2+2 rear bumper.

This country loves a good vested rusted on self interest when setting policy. The whole parliament is captured by vested interests. The business council of Australia opposes changes to 457 Visa's, even though for the average Australian change is needed to stop under cutting of wages (when wage growth is at an all time low). The property council of Australia opposes changes to negative gearing even though housing affordability is at an all time low. On a related topic won't have a banking royal commission despite widespread reports of horrendous behavior. Look at the LNG Gas crisis where Australian gas costs less in Japan than Australia. Crack down on the most vulnerable via CentreLink robo debt... I could go on.. but instead if you want to know if a policy will be implemented, just look at how bad it is. The worse it is the more likely it will be implemented. My experience living in Europe was that "yes" items being imported outside of the EU *should* be taxed. But in reality only say 1 in 20 packages I ever ordered resulted in me getting a letter to pay VAT (like GST) on it. I think the reality is that it's going to be a nightmare to stop every package to collect tax (hence why we have a $1000 threshold right now) and therefore lots of items will probably be ignored. In this case I'd imagine electronic goods (since Harvey hates those) will get taxed, but other items like car parts (especially used ones) may get ignored. Since they don't really compete in the retail space the same. Speaking of Harvey Norman and Ireland, I always found it Bizarre when watching TV in Ireland to have a Harvey Norman commercial blast through with a strong Australian accent in the middle of Irish TV programming. But apparently his business did really well in Ireland and those commercials with it (probably because nothing else like it). Those type of commercials where you get yelled at are apparently unique to Australia. Stephen Amos explains it best.

Done.

What is the chassis no? I may be able to find it's sister cars and see what colour they were. I don't believe the 112 Green was offered until late 71 early 72. I certainly can't recall seeing any 240z's in this colour with vents in the rear hatch. Under the dashboard on the firewall you should be able to find the original colour.

James' car with the twin SU set up is interesting indeed! I almost wish he was running the flat top SU's on it. Now that would stir a few people.

That's the little old lady owned 260z Zshop was selling a while ago. Here is the post. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/1924-cars-for-sale-3rd-party-sites-ebay-carsales-etc/?p=189228

And full interior, yeah that 1.

By the way I took some video with my new Google Pixel phone, can't believe how good the quality came out for a phone camera. https://goo.gl/photos/drK6VMxtAsWDWPKe7 https://goo.gl/photos/ryb1ZX9SaaqKmQ499 https://goo.gl/photos/TScBKzvU8y4PenEZ8 https://goo.gl/photos/GnkPn3HYpvWkbt8BA https://goo.gl/photos/c4yWoocooekoF55q9(blowing a bit of smoke, indeed later it came into the pits with piston slap or a dropped valve I think?) https://goo.gl/photos/W7MNDYKE7ut85qNA6 https://goo.gl/photos/KcxC6NmBkQU5zTUBA https://goo.gl/photos/pwABAmjBC7meSsjWA https://goo.gl/photos/TfgPrYiiBveERcBD8 https://goo.gl/photos/VDPaTd4eTyns5H6H6 and the money shot, the dummy grid lol.. https://goo.gl/photos/nSYaMHeRtaMWDAg96

I didn't get to see lap times, I got there Sunday relatively late. I did see your old 280z though, but didn't realise it was your old car at first. I only got 1 photo. https://goo.gl/photos/PGqrNdr8Jfsmjtun8 The penny dropped when I saw it goes past and the 280z fender badge was on it. With regard to keeping it simple, totally agree. Is it running fuel injection?

I almost feel like it should be a yearly event? I think next time I'll try and get much more involved in the planning stage of it and help promote it. Turnout was good, but I reckon with a bit more effort and a bit more promotion on the S30Z side we could get even better numbers there.

73 240z for sale. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-4685097?WT.seg_4=AutoAlert;PCAA $Asking $65k Will add more photos later.

Skillard Offers some metal pieces to suit S30Z's but not exactly rust repair pieces at this stage.

Heater core for a 240z? What shape is it in?

Do we get any photos of this build or what?

A friend sent me this video of an engine rebuild. http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/7106753/ce146ad4/van_verrot_naar_gloednieuw.html You'll have to click on "Ja" it's a Dutch site, but the video content is great.

I'm pretty sure Motorsport Auto in the US are just resellers for existing vendors. Not sure if they use / source from Tabco - I assume they do? I'm not sure on suppliers of aftermarket parts in Asia, if you know of any company names / contact folks please list them!

Just adding some photos I found of a repair done here by another workshop. https://www.facebook.com/pg/kiddysclassics/photos/?tab=album&album_id=903245716405015

Replace beaten up and internally rusted tanks with a new 1 instead.

Yes, exactly why I said as a buyer I'd want to pay $10k, but as a seller I'd probably ask for $15k.

Based on floor pressings, dashboard, metal fan in back and original colour (903 Blue) it looks like a late 71 240z. It could have been built late 71 like my 240z, so might have still had a 71A gearbox originally. Center console is earlier type with dual choke config. Chassis Number I'm guessing will be between HS30 01XXXX -> HS30 10XXX range. Please let me know if someone can confirm it's actual chassis number?
