  1. Youtube won't allow embedding of that video.

  3. HS30 00004 feature in 1990s magazine (1995). https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORIGINAL-VINTAGE-DATSUN-240Z-NISSAN-300ZX-AUSTRALIAN-6-PAGE-FEATURE-/123486906806 I lost the auction but saved the photos for future reference.
  4. Ok found a setting that may be responsible and have disabled it.
  5. I just found this and thought it would be useful for others here also. http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3931
  6. Hmm I just saw this again, I checked and I only have enabled a "header" and "footer" banner via the forum software. But I see a banner appearing in the middle of threads (half way through the page). This is not something I have enabled, but I may need to check Google AdSense settings to see if there is some kind of overlay banner enabled. I agree this would be annoying..
  7. Calendar Clock. https://www.ebay.com/itm/323558009839?ul_noapp=true Good price and seller.

  9. It's the Safari Gold that did it for you. Well done.
  10. Lovely apart from the flares and body kit IMHO.. The sound of Solex..
  11. Lovely 72 240z for sale. https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61075-1972-datsun-240z-for-sale-port-orange-florida/

  13. I can't get enough of these restoration videos.
  14. Just different covers, used in some markets more than others. They don't mean anything on their own. Some prefer aesthetics of 1 over the other. If you want to sell the top 1 let me know?
  15. Cheap SUs new in box. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F392174177113
  16. No idea, never seen them before. Looks like a form of minilite? A couple of Capitol Motors adverts a friend found in old newspaper archives. A few others he found (not related to Capitol Motors) in here. https://goo.gl/photos/yGt15kkjKMxXx6Sb8
  17. I can potentially share more via PM or phone call..
  18. I love how that's caused a stir on FB. These look rebuilt and cleaned up etc.. well worth it. I spent $1000+ on vapour blasting my carbs and will spend even more on top doing gaskets / fasteners etc.. on top of purchase price shipping + taxes etc.. A good set of 44s will cost $4-5k once sorted on a manifold and installed / tuned etc.. especially if they are a rough set to begin with. 50mm Solex are pretty rare and desirable. Seems reasonable to pay a bit more for them.

  20. Don't worry, I could take a few months and it will still be there before you get that bonnet painted lol..
  21. True, but I already have a 240z door ready to go. So far less work to use and repaint that, than fix this 1. Plus the 240z door looks much more rust free than the current 260z door which has some rust at the bottom. Funny 1 of the reasons I never twigged onto the fact that the door was a 260z door and not original to the car was the fact that it was silver inside (the 72 was originally 901 silver so the floor pans are still silver etc..) so it never seemed out of place. I will keep the 260z door as a spare as we never know when things become useful again or someone else might need it for their 260z 2 seater at some point. I've learnt to never throw anything out (if it can be avoided). Example: just the other day I was going through some spares and found a grub screw for the rear mirror day/night button on the rear view mirror. Exactly what I needed for my 71 240z, since for some reason its gone missing and I didn't find it amongst all the interiors screws that were left lying around in the car (unlabelled *sigh*). The kind of part that is almost impossible to ask someone for - since it's so small and hardly worth the effort. I wish I kept far more parts off my deceased 260z 2+2. I left so much meat on the bone when that went to the scrap yard years ago!

  23. I had originally intended to bring the ha-white 71 240z. I guess with all the wedding plans and being in San Francisco last week I've run out of time. Sad times..next year perhaps?
  24. Bingo - In my case the modified door had some nuts acting as spacers on the other side which meant the winder assembly sat too short for the winder mechanism to grab onto. You can also see someone has cut into the door frame to allow for the 240z assembly to be fitted into a 260z door. Coupled with incorrect fasteners which means the whole assembly "floats" when you turn the crank (not fixed in place) and has play, you get a less than ideal window winding experience. It worked ok with the custom door trims the previous owner had in the car as they sort of sunk inwards as there was more give in the card backings. But once I put proper OEM trims in I couldn't get the winder back on! We have removed the nuts acting as spacers as a temp fix - which brought the winder forward (sticking out from the door trim), but the window is difficult to wind up and down, because of the reasons mentioned above. I always wondered why that was and what could be done to improve it, but now that we've determined then doors are wrong it's obvious why the planetary gears are not aligned ideally. I'll be putting a 240z door back in at some point, since I couldn't live with a hack job like that on 1 of my cars. Ok on a race car, not so good on a good street car. What I'll do with a hacked 260z door later, I don't know? Might put it on the wall as wall art.
