I dunno about the Z car in it, But there were a coupla good sets on display !!!

As I posted last year, surely someone here in the Club has the machining skills to build a spindle pin puller,as per the article on the zhome site, donate it to the Club, then hire it out to who ever needs it & the Club gets some revenue. Just a thought!!!

'yes, i am arrogant, self opinionated & righteous' I agree...Knowledgeable but offensive at times

Sorry to hear that mate...... Rob Laughton is THE man at The Zed factory in Mordialloc..

G,day Dazzed, Great post It will be good to hear what the replies are... Thanks mate ..Jimbo

Well Done Mate, It just proves what can be done with a reasonably basic car and a lot of driving skills. Congratulations on your win...Jim...

Looks Good Mate, It will be worth all the effort you put into it, when she's finished !! :)

G,day... Have got to go to a wedding in Murrumbateman this Sat 11th October & thought I might give the Zed a run. Will be a bit expensive for fuel compared to the Subaru, but what the heck, also will be on the lookout for some of you Canberra Zeds. Wedding is at Redbrow Gardens Ninima road & staying not too far away...Jim

Just an idea. I am sure we have some members on here that could use their machining skills to make a spindle pin puller & that the Club or member could pay for the materials then donate the pin puller to the Club. The pin could then be hired out to any member needing it for a small cost plus postage & the Club could raise some revenue. There is a write up of materials & how to make the puller on Zhome.com . Go to Index of Tech Articles, then Tech Posts & Articles, then Special Tools for First Generation Z,s then how to make a spindle pin removal tool. Just a thought...

I am interested.. pm on the way..Thanks

G,day, I ran there a fortnight ago,I am road registered so no worries & a mate ran with a Mazda rx4 race car with a 350 chev in it & did'nt need a log book.

Allan, Thanks for your time to write this up... Good Stuff..Jim

G,day, Sorry about the delay in responding..been away. Aspilon thanks anyway but Zedman is welcome to it...Jim...

Thanks for your time Aspilon, but its a bit knocked around & I might wait and see what Moonstonebluz can come up with. Thanks anyway. Jim

Thanks for the reply's. Apsilon if its no problem to take a photo that would be good..you may send it PM if thats OK. Glen. If your mate would sell the knob separately would you be able to ask what condition it is in and how much? Thanks boys Jim

G,day All.. Does anyone have a spare original 5 speed gear shift knob (walnut) that they are willing to part with ??. As it would be much appreciated. Thanks..Jim..

Rob is the MAN for your bodywork and there is no better for your mechanical work than Daniel Moore... Both good blokes...Jim

Instead of asking new members to FILL IN YOUR LOCATION ect why not make it compulsory when you register for membership as was suggestered previously.Jim

OK, Here we go,The paint can info when my 11/72 240z was repainted states, Patterson Cheney...526 dulon standar col ref 9596(13336) NISSAN KALAHARI TAN CODE:918 lead:12.9% PR Grp:2 Dens:1.012kg/1 03-sept-1999

G,day Z Factory, Good to hear your still hammering away at it..Jim.. Omeo..

G,day Ourdatto, Mine is a 11/72 Burnt Orange & the early Datsun name for Burnt Orange was Kalahari Tan. I still have a Holts Touch Up spray pack can, stock no DS-D1 matches Datsun Kalahari Tan printed on the top of the lid....Jim

Thanks for the reply Alan, But I got a set of 15x7's some time ago..Thanks Anyway ..Jimbo..

G,day Craig, We can drive to Melb in 4.5 to 5 hrs easy... Jim

G,day Fella's, Another option would be ome up the Princess Highway to Bairnsdale the to Bruthen turn left up The Great Alpine Road through Ensay,Swifts Creek to Omeo for an overnight stay.Next day (sore head?) Omeo to Dinner Plain & Mt Hotham then down the Mountain to Harrietville & Bright then over to Myrtleford & onto the Hume Freeway or follow the old Hume to Melbourne through Seymour, Kilmore,Wallan ect. A comfortable 2 day cruise with plenty of winding roads to choose, also plenty of small towns to stop for coffee or the odd winery. I might be able to do a deal on accommodation in Omeo for the Saturday Night also Just a thought Jim

Thanks for the good detective work NZeder, Well Done
