It's the perfect compliment to YASS! Probably why they got rid of the creepy clown..

I spent some time trying to diagnose this, but no such joy yet. I have a feeling phpmail is a problem since I updated to PHP 8.0+ I might see if the hosting company can offer some help with troubelshooting.

Did you get this email reply? Just changed something in Cpanel (was attempting to remove spam emails via email fitlers).

I've had reports that email notifications have stopped working. Can anyone else confirm if they are not getting emails for thread replies etc..?

Hi folks, Just a heads up I've run some updates including upgrading to the newest version of PHP. Overall this should improve the user experience but let me know if anything is not behaving correctly post upgrade? Thanks, Gavin.

You can probably weld in, re drill the holes in that bracket. There is also some adjustment via the bottom nuts in that photo (left to right) etc..

Cool sent a PM.

Hi mate, I'd like 1 or a couple if you have them still?

I wish I had a factory 905 red Z myself.

40s will help and you can always sell them later if you go with a bigger cam and need 44s. What ignition do you have on your Z? Electronic or points?

I recently acquired an LD28, shipping to Australia was reasonable. (I'm an idiot for selling my last 1 a few years ago). haha. I can probably get more. And for less than the $1,500 USD I've seen sellers asking. I cannot guarantee condition, given they are second hand used cranks. If folks are chasing 1, let me know?

Freudian slip?

Ughhh, I had quit Facebook a few years ago. But then was missing out on all the good parts from the US so re-joined for that and got suckered back in. Problem is Gumtree and eBay is now rarely used for parts. So gotta go where the rest of the people are going.

Thanks mate.

It's a kick in the guts when you see that, however I would recommend. 1. Buy new rear 1/4 panels - which now exist. 2. Bonnet looks repairable - so fix that. 3. Front wings are not too bad, but may be easier to just buy new reproductions? 4. Buy new doors. 5. Unfortunately roofs are not yet available, but may be soon from KF Vintage. 6. The front rails I believe are available via KF Vintage or some other outfits. 7. Floor pans are common enough and available. 8. Cowl looks fine to fix. 9. Spare wheel tub, unpick and replace with new reproduction. 10. Buy new sills/rockers - which exist. 11. Reproduction rear hatches are also available. Simply buying all that stuff will cost a small fortune, but you could ship it in bulk. Simply placing some of them on the car will make it look like half the work is done already, you'll feel better. Plus whoever does the restoration work will be glad you bought that stuff (since your Perth shop may not be aware these sections already exist). It's almost always cheaper to replace than repair panels in my experience and less time consuming. So whenever something is available now, I just buy it. The only areas that sort of concern me is the front strut tower on the inner wing that's rotten at the bottom. But it's not uncommon and fixable, just more work. The tool box area, is tricky to get to and fix. And under the cowl panel area. But it's not problem per se, just more work than the other sections which are more accessible. FWIW, #51 was similar, although perhaps not as bad, but the benefit is when I bought it, I could see all that already. So I knew what was gone. I've been slowly acquiring all the sections.

If I was Governor I would have raised rates to 4% when VN Commodore SS's were fetching $70-$80k at auction. Or 2 door WRX's were $117k... I can't find the original video from Channel 9, but this video says all that needs to be said really. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=778199276131654

I think the Real Estate market recovery is a bit of a false dawn. Everyone is front-running the RBA re: dropping rates thinking prices will bounce/boom again. But I don't think inflation is anywhere near under control and I don't think the RBA is done raising rates - they should have gone hard, earlier and raised more quickly and more basis points, but they have jumped the shark on this 1 and now we are all experiencing more pain. Of course RBA are not the only ones to blame on this IMHO. Government could be doing more to moderate energy prices and not run such crazy immigration numbers which is putting rents higher (rents and energy go into CPI calculation). TL;DR - is more pain ahead.

Think it's just timing, all indicators are that a recession is on the horizon. Not just S30Z's, but other Japanese classics are not really moving and piling up on the market. At least there is only a handful of Zeds on the market at any given time.

It's crazy that it can't sell. But that is the current market we're in.

Might have been a scammer account I deleted mate.

Hi mate, Here is 1 that might be worth a punt. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d1091068228

Just did another clean up of recent spammy looking joins. Also be wary I saw at least 1 other PM to a user that looked like an attempt to extract money out of our members and not deliver a product or service. Be wary scammers are back.

Is it the same diameter as the other coolant freeze plugs in the block?

https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ The Stagea boys love running the OP6 high flow turbos. Make about 300kw. Plenty in a Z.

Are you running an L26? I believe 44mm valves in an L26 bore may require notching in the block to accommodate the larger valves. Since L24/L26 bores are the same, it's just that the L26 got the longer stroke crank (same as L28). https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/70734-notchingbevelingbutterfly-l24-block-for-valve-clearance/ EG: https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/70734-notchingbevelingbutterfly-l24-block-for-valve-clearance/?do=findComment&comment=672237
