    Car now stripped to the A pillars some rust top corners of roof but not to bad. repaired passenger side. Removed passenger side lower door hinge and ordered a couple of rebuild kits as I was missing the springs and the rivet attaching the strap to the hinge was bust. Removing the pins was pretty easy just drifted out, the only problem was the pin attaching the strap to the hinge was too big so drilled out and all good, refitting pins bushes and spring was straight forward,

    The cars been there since 2008 so any charges associated with import most likely not really relevant now? I think I'm becoming a bit of a pedant but for a "restored" car over $100000 I would expect it to be a little closer to "original" or a lot further away. Nick

    I have to replace all engine bay hoses can get a full set but has emission hoses that I don't need. So which are the hoses for early 240Z Also are the fuel hoses plain rubber? Also asked earlier after pics of decals and where to place. Thank you

    Thanks I guess some type of dense foam will be the way to go?, the bar is screwed on at one end and welded the other. have unscrewed but it seems not to want to move should I force it then compress foam or will I distort the bar?

    On removing the doors noticed that the springs were missing and that one of the pins was broken this was the same on both doors I assume that pin A should be longer and push in to B The drivers door is subtly different to passenger side the pin is peened over? Also should there be a spacer between A and B? Thanks

    Is that US tax? I thought all goods to Australia were taxed GST and import duty.

    JDM car parts offer free shipping and I thought Datsun car source used to (not now) When I looked at the reviews of the forwarders there were a lot of unhappy punters So much fun

    As above I need quite a lot of little bits from various suppliers in USA, as many of them don't charge for internal shipping thought it might be a good idea to have the parcel consolidated and forwarded on to Aus So any advice, thoughts or recommendations greatly appreciated Nick

    The welding from factory was very rough in that area. Lucky what do you use on the raised joint between the air tube and plenum its seems to be a non hardening mastic (brand?) Nick
