Hi Everyone, Not sure exactly what is in the kit but from Google translation it appears to be LY engine parts for a Z. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpage8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp%2Fjp%2Fauction%2Fh62237715&langpair=ja%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Original page: http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h62237715 The LY engine was a SOHC crossflow head for the L6 series engine. I wish I knew more about the racing history of it though. No head included

Couple of questions mate, does the cable handbrake mechanism work ok? Also why did you choose 280zx rear calipers over say R31?

Tell him you found him through the website!

Considering all that work that's been done. I'd say its a bargain too.

Our friends from (WA ZCar) www.wazregister.com have put together a neat register for owners of the S30 series. This register keeps track off Zcars across the country and is an excellent way for us as enthusiasts to maintain a database of cars. This is an excellent idea for anyone considering buying a Z to see a bit of history on a particular car. As these cars age, information like this will aid in the sale and acquisition of such cars. To view registered cars see: http://wazregister.com/zindex.php?action=viewregister To register your car on the site please do so here: http://wazregister.com/zindex.php?action=registerform Finally if you have any info on cars that have decreased / been sent to the crusher or are beyond repair, please register it here also. This could assist with ensuring cars arn't reborn under different chassis numbers, which benefits the community as a whole. http://wazregister.com/zindex.php?action=registerdeadform

Sounds good. I'll definately sign up shortly (at working atm). When I was in Copenhagen with my sister and girlfriend we were contemplating getting a train to Sweden as it was only 30mins or something, but I hadn't contacted Mull to let him know I'd be there or organised anything and I didn't know where he was in Sweden exactly. My sister plans on heading back that way July / August and I wouldn't mind as I loved Denmark and I'm sure Sweden would be cool too. I also have to ask about subscription for Ireland. I'm a bit confused by pricing as it has International (Excluding Australia / New Zealand) and Australia / New Zealand have a higher price. So will need to find about subscription cost before I can sign up . Thanks for the reply.

I was browsing youtube.com and found some nice videos of Zcars in Japan. The yellow one sounds crazy and I think its running an L-series. Second one is a bit frustrating with the way it was shot, but a peak at some crazy looking L-series engines.

Yeah I saw his videos on youtube a little while ago and asked him if we can do a feature on his car. He said it will have to wait till it appears in a local magazine, but after that no problems. Look forward to putting it together. Certainly makes me consider an RB30 / 26 combo in my Z .

Those photo's make me sad, my second Z was a 260z 2+2. I was 19 and the 240z I owned previously had major battery rust rendering it un-drivable so I bought a 2+2 to carry my mates around in (first to get my license) unfortunately she was written off. http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=3 nice to see another white 260z though, I too have always liked them in white. On most cars white looks average (boring joe style), but on a Z it seems to work really really well. Welcome to our humble site!

Hey Van, I didn't even notice this thread and its on my own website (oops). I did spot it on Grandjdm.com though and I posted a comment, but just in case, I thought I'd re-voice it here. Is there anyway I can get involved with this? I really love my old skool jdm cars. As you may or may not know I'm in Europe at the moment and would be happy to travel and find cars to cover over here . I'm hoping to meet up with Alan Thomas at some stage and do a write up on his lovely cars for this site. Magazine looks great, I'll have to subscribe also.

Sorry got my wires crossed between you and the new owner. He started a thread about removing a dashboard.

was.. Why? What happened and how come you need to remove your dash?

Cool sounds good. Always a good turn out when I'm not there . Last good turnout I was stuck in Hospital (that was about 1 year ago). Did you guys get any pics? Any new Zeds on the scene?

I can get you Len's contact details, I keep in touch with him from time to time. Although he was meant to meet me on St Patrick's Day in Dublin, but I never heard from him. Hope he's ok.

Awesome they look great.

lol, no Why not? Don't think he was saying not to pass it onto the WA guys. He was saying no to "Hey Scott I'll sway ya my wifes alfa for your 77 ;D"

Turn that frown upside down. Perfect, probably has a P90 head!!!!! What you don't want is the 4WD box, unless you wanna make one of those funny looking Zeds in stilts (only in America!!). I'd grab it but have no idea how to get it to Melbourne Victoria, or how much it would cost to freight it. I can just imagine my mum, when it arrives. "He's over the other side of the world, and I still get Zcar parts showing up" . I'm after an N42 block / N42 head combo myself.
