I hope this doesn't die like many other attempts before it. Would be great to see this make it to production and I do wonder what kind of price it will be all up. I'd love the O.S Giken set up, that seems a bit out of reach along with an S20 so this could be viable depending on cost. Then again I agree with what Alan has said regarding reproduction of the LY heads. I'd love to see that done.

Mark what is the offset on your 15" Watanabe's? Is it 0? Same on all 4 corners?

www.unblock-us.com + 18 year old technical guru is your friend Even if Netflix does launch in Australia it's likely to get watered down by local licensing restrictions etc.. So you'll pay the Australian tax for the same content. *most likely*.

Yeah I don't mind the red dashboard, but it looks horribly out of place with the white interior. I'm more worried about the paint job done on it though. Looks awfully 'rushed'.

You got Netflix? It wasn't the usual Jason Statham type film (although it kind of was). I think it deserved better than the 6.2 rating it got on IMDB. Funny it looks like it was shit canned on Rotten Tomatoes also. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/redemption_2013/

Sadly Veilside did the same thing to many of the 90s era Japanese cars. http://www.veilsidejpn.com/ Nobody was safe! I will say I don't mind the Veilside Fortune kit but I'd never do it to my own car. (Epic RB26 + 13B Turbo sounds!) - I really don't like Fast N' Curious Franchise though....

Datsun 1200 - Shannons Club TV - Episode 8:

I saw this recently. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1893256/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_7 Thought it was quite good, but I wasn't expecting much.

For the Canberra folks. This is for you.

Agreed $1,500 minimum I'd say.

Genuine set on Yahoo! auctions now. http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k176382908 Going for a cool $800 AU + and still 24 hours of auction to go. It seems that the replica lights have done nothing to reduce the value of the OEM units. Interesting...

In fairness I didn't see a teacher doing it this way, it was another student in the paint section doing it. Yes I tried to avoid any bare hands touching the metal after blasting.

Nice 1 Bruvva! Hope he gets some comeuppance!

Sadly last night was the last night of my tafe class for this semester, my goal was to get the door skin on before the end, but alas as you can see below I didn't quite get there. That's ok though as I didn't want to rush the job to completion and I am almost ready to put the door skin on. So after sandblasting the door again (to get rid of built up surface rust) I actually managed to put another rust pin hole at the bottom of the door due to the pitted metal in the bottom corner of the door. To repair it I attempted to use a mig-welder to patch it up, but because the metal is so thin in this area already due to pitting etc.. I actually blew holes through it and it took a bit of persistence to try and patch it up again. In many ways doing this is like chasing your tail and I very nearly decided to just lob off this section and fabricate a new lower piece of the door frame. As you can see it's a bit messy looking, and whilst it won't be an area that's highly visible I'm still on the fence as to weather or not I'll use a bit of filler to smooth it out, or weld on a new section here. You'll also notice that it's now in epoxy primer - this was done in the paint booth at Tafe. There is still some surface areas with imperfections that will need a bit of filler to smooth out, but I decided to put it in epoxy first to prevent having to blast surface rust off each time. As you can see the door shell turned out quite good. Considering how it started earlier in this thread . The next step is to apply some seam sealer around the door hinge area (where that extra bit of metal is that the captive nuts sit on) and then use some Anti Flutter Foam on the side intrusion bar. Both of which were removed during media blasting. I may also use some KBS rust proofing paints (rust seal) on the inside of the door to help seal her up for good and prevent the rust bug from returning - that bastard!. http://www.kbs-coatings.com.au/product/rust-seal/ Will keep you updated when time comes to put the door skin on. But I feel like the majority of the work here is behind me now. Thankfully! Hopefully you're also getting an appreciation of how much work is involved in fixing these areas also.

Interesting, at my tafe course they tend to apply the filler to the metal and then paint over it.

Sounds like it's an electronic distributor but it's missing the black module on the side. Can you take a photo of it without the distributor cap on? I am pretty sure we can identify it that way.

Oh if I was to go to his house it wouldn't be with cash in my hand. Well done boys the ad is down, too much heat haha. I've seen this sort of thing before, I once bought a pair of rare seats on eBay (for the rx-7) and then 2 days later I saw the same pair on Gumtree. I asked the seller (on eBay where I won it) what was up and he said he didn't advertise them. So obviously it was a scammer. We got the ad taken down. Seen the same thing with an RX-7 not that long ago also. They always advertise them at a super cheap price so you feel like you're getting a bargain. Then there is always a reason why the car can't be seen and that they need a deposit to hold it etc.. Just another reminder to be very careful when something appears too good to be true, it almost always is.

Gumtree 1 is a definite scam. We should lead him on. See what web this prick spins.

I would guess up to $200 unrestored. No horn button is custom.

Thanks... I don't know how to use my Google properly ( ) actually I did a couple of searches but didn't find what I wanted to know. That image helps along with this discussion here, thinking I finally see how it works. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/how-the-hell-does-regrinding-a-cam-work.36558/ By making the base radius smaller and moving the rockers upward, we are effectively making the lobe ramp steeper.

Some funny buggers going on there... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1972-240z-HS-30-Datsun-coup-/321524610263 That's the second time it's been relisted and now it has a Buy It Now price at $13.5 K Flakey buyers or is the seller not getting the price he/she wants???

Post photos of the damage, it could be repairable and to be honest easier than finding another set of 260z 2 seater doors.

Bid as much as you want to spend to get it. If you get it cheaper win win .

Errrr you mean marketing director for North America Nissan. Mr K didn't design or build the s30z. Whilst I'm happy to wish him happy bday I want to make sure we don't discredit people who were involved in the design process. Datsun 240Z Design Development Process - Exterior…: Nissan 370 Z (2011) & Datsun 240 Z (1971) with OR…: Sorry on my phone otherwise I'd make this reply more detailed.

For the uninitiated what is an Option 1 or 2 gearbox? Does it equate to a 71A / 71B or 71C box?
