  1. My advice stretch the budget a little and get something like this. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/1924-cars-for-sale-3rd-party-sites-ebay-carsales-etc/?p=173305
  2. Well done it's looking great. I see you have the OEM braided hoses did you source them new?
  3. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sylvania/cars-vans-utes/1974-datsun-260z/1104466362 $22,000.00 Sylvania NSW.
  4. This video shows Edward Lees placard more clearly. http://www.smh.com.au/business/consumer-affairs/sydney-car-dealerships-raided-by-nsw-police-uncovering-odometer-tampering-of-used-cars-20160216-gmvf1p.html#ixzz40Js1ESIK I always wondered about Dream Car City also, I would see FD RX-7's, Evo's, Skylines etc.. and I was certain they were just as bad but hadn't been looking into them. Video shows a Spirit R, RX-7 which no doubt has been tampered with. Temptation is too great when good ones in Japan still fetch $45,000 + AU. Funny at the end of that article is this: Do you know more? Email lucy.cormack@fairfaxmedia.com.au
  5. I doubt this would be the cheapest option. So many hidden costs that would snag you.
  6. We so need 1 of these in Sydney......just need to find 7 mates you can trust.
  7. Facebook video showing raids of Edward Lees amongst a few other dealers . https://www.facebook.com/nswpoliceforce/videos/vb.218519706184/10153579365461185/?type=2&theater
  8. http://www.9news.com.au/national/2016/02/16/10/29/nsw-car-yards-raided-for-alleged-fraud Nice one bruvva.
  9. FYI: I have a radio to suit a 72+ HLS30 North American market car. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14298-oem-240z-head-unit-72-north-american-model-fm-radio/
  10. Yep replied.
  11. I'm going to import a couple of these. Just finalising payment details and delivery. Freight is not cheap, going by air. Due to limited interest only bringing in a couple at this stage.
  12. You can purchase kits to reupholster the seats in original trim, the dashboard can be re-skinned. Have a read of this. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14326-dash-reskin-diy/
  13. It's ok, but please post them in this thread instead of starting a new 1.
  14. Yeah thanks for posting, do you know if the owner of the Z432 has a set of Kobe Seiko wheels for it?
  15. Same car as his avatar, S130z values were a lot lower back then.
  16. Quite common to see those in Japanese cars I find.
  17. This is a copy of the Works Style rear wing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-1978-3-piece-Rear-Spoiler-fits-Datsun-240z-260z-280z-/111899331006 Think this appeared on 240ZR's first.
  18. Seats, Console and Gauges can be year dependent. What year are you after? Does your car not have any of these or are you looking for already refurbished items to replace the worn out items with?
  19. So horrible, I once looked at a wine red 260z 2+2 with a black vinyl roof. About 16-17 years go now. The car was ok but the reason we didn't buy it was because of the vinyl roof . I wonder which dealer was responsible for it.
  20. No idea what those other holes were for, definitely not standard. Good work on filling them though.
  21. Another Fairlady 240Z-L this time a 1973 model from the looks of it. http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n167098314 Current Bid: 2,501,000 yen, with 6 days to go and 38 bids already.
  22. Sadly I get the same result for that part no. NLA..
  23. Yeah my thoughts are that an extinguisher is still a good idea but it might only help so much. Problem with rotaries in particular is they operate quite hot and so are prone to fire when maintenance items are neglected. We've all seen burnout competitions where a fire starts and a crew comes to put it out only to see it reignite of it's own accord again. This is why a good fire crew will douse the fire to the point where it looks excessive. Serious question, but a fire like that is likely to destroy the car completely correct? As in that metal will now be fatigued and therefore the car cannot be restored even if money were no option is that about right?
  24. http://www.bay939.com.au/news/local-news/60913-classic-car-destroyed-in-freeway-blaze If it's a genuine car it would definitely be a shame, even if not a genuine Phase III it would still be sad.
  25. Yes, but Japanese market HS30's are generally in the higher number range than export market cars were. I believe starting from around HS30-1XXXX mark. I am pretty sure Alan HS30-H has stated what number they started in the past if I could find it. Are you talking new or used? In terms of when they were new I think some European market cars had higher price points. I believe they were quite a bit more expensive in the UK than say Australia. It's also possible that markets like Portugal had more pricey HLS30's and to appeal to a higher end market they got some nice pieces like the Kobe Seiko wheels fitted as standard. In terms of current market prices? I still think Japan is likely to have the highest value cars as a general rule. But the most valuable cars probably don't change hands publicly and therefore their values are harder to track.
