  1. At this stage I was keeping it as a spare just in case the other box in my 71 sh1t the bed. But they are pretty tough. So I don't think it will be a problem. (Fingers crossed). If you don't have any luck with Lindsay's 1 on Gumtree send me a PM. It's hard to price these things because it's often worth more to me as a spare than the monetary value of it (if that makes sense?)
  2. That's Lindsay from Zshop.
  3. Images no worky.
  4. It is relisted again. Dealer (Alex Holland Used Cars) has relisted this car for sale. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1973-datsun-240z-manual/OAG-AD-19251360 $54,899 asking price. 1973 Datsun 240Z Auto A very good example of an Australian delivered matching numbers car This 2 owner 240z is finished in white with contrasting black interior Only 2 owners and showing 127,000 miles This car has not been modified Presents and drives very well A real head turner and an opportunity not to be missed Car available to view in Sydney. We are located only 10 minutes from Sydney Airport. Member of the Motor Trader Association We can organise car transport anywhere in Australia at a competitive rate. But somehow it's had less owners than when Terry owned it.. why do car dealers always embellish things?
  5. She's not the worst car, but also not the best car to start with. But it's an early low vin #. So worth doing it right.
  6. I haven't noticed it, but I'll have a look. I just got an update that there is a new release with several bug fixes. https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/ I haven't read it in detail, but perhaps that behavior is fixed in the new release? I'll run the update soon and we can perhaps check back in if the behavior has reverted back or still different to before? However I've noticed the threads where I haven't read the updates have a marker now so you know which posts you previously read up to. Which I thought was a handy feature.
  7. VBs asking $50k+. I must be getting old.. https://www.caradvice.com.au/894034/1982-holden-commodore-vh-sl-e-v8-comes-onto-the-market-with-substantial-price-tag/
  8. I think there is a few of us economics nerds here.. myself included. Trading currency is a good way to lose money IMHO :D. I recently went through a lot of analysis before I bought my house as I had $USD and Euro to convert for settlement. It was a bit nerve wracking as daily movements went a few thousand in some cases. If I had of known about Covid-19 and the 55cent low for $AUD I would have held off, but alas I do not possess balls of steel to trade through that kind of insanity. :).
  9. Thanks @RAP260 for ongoing monthly support. Thanks @CptZa for your recent contribution also.
  10. I'm not clear why you need to convert from Diesel to Petrol because of an ignition issue? LD28 blocks are taller than the regular L-series blocks. The cranks are longer stroker in the diesel which makes them more desirable for folks who want to run more displacement in L28 engines (petrol). But the head is quite different as you have mentioned, but I do know that LD28 blocks have been used for bigger displacement L-series (petrol engines). As to the oil and water galleries lining up I'm not sure why they would be different or how you can correct that? Perhaps custom machine work is required? However you could save yourself a lot of effort simply by using a regular L28 motor if the plan is to go petrol over Diesel.
  11. Yeah I noticed that too. The theme changed and something has broken. I'll need to fix it.
  12. Rb25 NEO with Nistune ECU and updated / high flow OP6 factory turbo. Easy 300+HP.
  13. A lot is interchangeable.. what are you trying to achieve?
  14. I think that's how they are, but I'll double check mine.
  15. Have you looked on Gumtree? You couldn't give these things away not long ago. I got a spare off @JDM-TOYthat I bothered to haul from NSW to Victoria with me. Where are you located?
  16. Still can't beat that... but HS30 103796 is close...this car has had an RB25 transplant though.
  17. Another we need to sleuth the vin # of haha.
  18. I do not think the owner is a member here. But is the original owner from 71. Which is pretty cool.
  19. FYI, I got some feedback and I noticed this too, but the site may be a little slower post update. I suspect it's because the software is running some background re-indexing and clean up tasks. So some pages may take a few seconds longer to load. If this persists past a few days I'll be looking further into it. Please provide feedback here on your experience.
  20. I'll send you a PM. I have an incomplete set and would be interested in completing the set. Also I have some iron cross 280zx wheels (if you're hunting for some).
  21. Nice 904 white / Blue interior 240z on BAT. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-datsun-240z-63/
  22. Also fyi, I found 1 of these out in Bendigo Victoria but it was also stuffed. I had intended to collect it anyway, but the seller got rid of it before I could get to him. You can see it was cracked and not really repairable.(as far as I'm aware). So completing sets of these wheels is problematic.
