Can you send me details on this head? Who did the porting etc..? If it's Datsunpartsllc (that's California Datsun) and he has a mixed reputation unfortunately.
I personally wouldn't bother with the 280zx stuff today, unless you get it all cheap and know it's working well? It's a bit ugly in the bay, but simple to repair and fix. But uses an old style AFM flap and very crude ECU etc..
I'd look at what Jenvey have to offer in terms of their ITBs.

Then I'd look at getting OneSix electronic cas kit.

Then you'll need to decide if you want coil on plug set up?
All the other sensors / wiring loom etc..
In fairness never heard of Burns and Co, seems more and more of these private auction houses are auctioning off these cars.
Perhaps we should compile a list of all these sites to check in on from time to time?
By the way is it a 2.0ltr or 2.8ltr? Looks like a Japanese market car.

Not S30Z specific but has good footage of early Skylines.
Over Drivin' Skyline Memorial
This game is actually a clone of the early Need For Speed on Playstation, but they replaced the cars and content with purely Skylines. I believe it was only available in Japan for the original PSX console.
I never knew this existed, the gameplay is dated. However the ingame footage shows some of the older Skyline models. Which I thought was cool and worth sharing.
I'm not aware of anyone making them here, maybe Lindsay at Z-shop in Burwood would be able to help? But apart from that I'm not sure.
I do know Revive Jalopy in Japan can help with home market cars and their plates.
These don't look quite OEM.

But may get you through inspection?
Otherwise Revive Jalopy in Japan may be able to make you ones that are like the OEM ones in terms fo stamping etc..
Interesting, I thought someone had stitched a wooden wheel (custom leather job) didn't realise it was a factory option. I thought it looked quite nice and I actually like the bigger diameter wheel.
Hey Gary, if nobody else wants it, I'd be keen.
However not in Victoria. My folks are in South Melbourne though, so not too far from the docklands..
Not sure if you'd be in that area at all? (Close to South Melbourne Market).
Speaking with my panel beater teacher at Tafe he recommended Redistrip for my door. So I'm going to give it a try.
