  1. Thanks, took a while to find it. Didn't realise he had done so many episodes. https://www.netflix.com/watch/80181894?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C10%2Cfcbc91f7-9cf2-4daa-8206-eec415490c50-17492585%2C%2C
  2. Looking good, wish I could afford it.

    Dead Engine.

    Sounds like it could have been caused by climate change.
  4. My review of their lower valance section is here:
  5. I received this section a few days ago and just unboxed it last night to see what it was like. First thoughts vs the Canadian offering. 1. The thickness / gauge of steel is much better to work with. 2. This comes in epoxy primer (unlike the bare Canadian panel) this is good to prevent flash rust. 3. The compound curves are there and so you won't need an English wheel to shape it unlike the Canadian suppliers piece. 4. The exhaust cut out and bumper reliefs and spare wheel support (impression) are much much better on this piece. Overall for a replacement section I give it 9.5/10 - It may need some minor shrinking on the top edge to get the curvature spot on but otherwise a very good section. I spent weeks trying to make 1, weeks trying to make a reproduction section fit and so for all those reasons I'd say it's worth paying $500+ for.. Hope this helps others.
  6. Got a link? Couldn't find it on YouTube.

  9. Couldn't tell you, what's the eBay username? There was someone in Australia making reproduction lens, but I don't recall who it was.
  10. I'm fairly certain it used to be Doug's car and before that a guy named Matt? Chassis no. is something like HS30 XX2266 my best guess is HS30-102266.
  11. Not sure about the quality of this kit, but worth a try also? http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/Datsun 1969-78 240Z-260Z.htm been around for years..
  12. Hi Folks, I received a letter today informing me that Alex known by username @Brabham passed away last December, the letter was from his mother asking for advice on selling his Datsun related items. Alex was doing a tafe course in panel beating as was I and we met in person quite a few times. He was a lovely guy and I'm very saddened to learn of his passing. I'm sure others were wondering where he had gone as he hadn't posted in quite a while here. I know he was well liked by quite a few of us. So I'm sorry to bring this sad news to you. https://tributes.smh.com.au/obituaries/24380/alexander-kelty/
  13. I missed this somehow.. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2019/04/25/bring-a-trailer-rx7-sells-for-world-record-amount But world record? Typical North American centered evaluations from Hagerty, like when they look at 240z values, but forget S30Z values... I guess they also forget about the Spirit R and RZ and SP (AU homologation) models that have already sold for more..!
  14. When you're tempted to buy a cheap / recently resprayed vintage car from another country...
  15. Hi Mate, No problem. Hope it fits an RB30. If not, no idea where it belongs. Send me a PM with postage details. I have to go to the post office soon anyway so will try and send it then. I'd imagine postage shouldn't be more than $7 within Sydney.
  16. So I think this is an RB30 rocker cover gasket... Not 100% sure. I know a few people here have an RB30 in their Z's. I can send it for free, but you'll need to pay postage for it. May need a clean. It's been in storage for 20 years nearly now. Otherwise it's going in the bin.
  17. We discussed it recently in the classifieds thread, seems to be a seasonal trend. Right before Christmas people hard up for cash sell the projects.
