Awesome looking wheels, look like Wat's where did you get them and what size are they?

can't recall where it went now. If you want to see moderators of each section. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php?action=collapse;c=11;sa=expand#11 Cheers, Gavin

Would be good to get a copy of that magazine issue. Any idea how I can order one?

That is awesome, I still have to see your car mate. Looks great in photos.

That's pretty sound advice above ^ by XRQTR, I would have to agree with most of it. The seller is always going to say positive things about the car, but my advice is that this car probably needs lots of work. On the outside it looks cleanish, but that's only because of the wheels, take them away (which are probably on spacers anyway!) and you have a fairly average 2+2. The paint look ok, on the outside, but RED always looks good! As stated, go view the car. It will probably be a lot rougher in person. There is always hidden stuff and the interior looks like its shot to s%^* to be honest. I would be more interested in this car, I know the colour is not that great. However I think the colour can grow on you. The more I see these vintage colours the more I like them. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1976-Datsun-260z-2-2-matching-chassis-engine-number_W0QQitemZ330304131857QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Cars?hash=item330304131857&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Item number: 330304131857 It is in Sydney though, I would honestly keep the $5k you have saved and keep saving till you get to $10K and buy a super clean original Zcar. You will be glad you did. Paying a little more for a cleaner car always costs you less in the long run. Then again I could be wrong, that red car could be in good condition on closer inspection. Go take a look and if not sure what to look for, get an RACV inspection. If the guy selling the car honestly thinks it won't need much for a RWC ask to be able to have it inspected by the RACV. If he has nothing to hide, he won't mind will he?

Hi Everyone, I had this idea a while ago, but thought it might be a bit tricky to implement. I was thinking a tool shop board could be useful for members to exchange / lend / borrow / rent / (whatever) tools from each other. The recent Spindle Pin puller thread got me thinking about various tools we might need for a 1 off job and we could get an exchange program going so that members can help each other out. I'd be interested in hearing feedback from members. I could enable a "Karma" setting on the forum so that members who lend out tools can receive "good karma points". Some issues may be: - Tools returned damaged / broken - Tools lost or missing - Tracking who has what tools etc.. - Lost term tools rotissorie (spelling?)

I love the wheels on the BRE 240z. American Le Mans magnesium 14x7 wheels

They look like "Hurricane" style rims. A copy and or variation anyway.

Extremely sexy, but not Vintage . Maybe you should try selling some to the US. They are quite rare over there. I think they might have been an option for the 280z black pearl edition (not sure!)

Hi everyone, I want to start a thread detailing all kinds of cool vintage wheels that suit the Zcar. Very similar to this: http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/wheels_fs.html http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=605 Kind of thing, I personally like alot of the old Work rims and Japanese wheels you see on alot of cars in Nostalgic Hero magazine. So post em' up and if you know the name of the wheels please share!

Ok this might help: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php?topic=2808.0 http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/suspension/rearend/index.html http://www.zcar.com/forums/read/1/585882 http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=114142 http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27405 Happy reading!

This is a real pita on early Zcars. The spindle pin is often not easy to remove and many use a "spindle pin puller" to remove it. I think some guys at hybridz.org were making them up a while ago. I would pull the whole strut assembly and take it to a suspension shop and ask them to press it out. You might need to buy new spindle pins from Nissan if you have damanaged the thread on them trying to smash them out.

Haha, insider information there George . Wouldn't be http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=828 now would it?

AE? What's that stand for?

Really progressing fast there mate.

Obviously too good a price .

Considering most ZX's don't even go for that much, and even lots of 240z's don't reach that kind of price range I think he's dreaming.

No problems mate, to be honest I shouldn't be buying parts while I'm overseas working. I should be spending my money on getting an electric guitar . Bummer, I'm sure Nzeder would have some ideas, he always sneaks stuff like that across our borders lol.

Great keep em' coming, I love hearing about these finds. I wonder how many others are hiding from us or worse rotting away from neglect.

Well done Rev, you seem to be collecting them. Are you trying to beat a record or something?

Welcome, thanks for joining.

So I noticed a few members have found Zcars by chance. Thought it might be cool to have a "look what I found in the barn" thread. Could be really cool to see what people have found hiding away out there in the great unknown?

Well done, good to know there are still cars like that out there.
