...dale, how many awesome cars do you have?!?

how do the rota's compare in weight to your watanabes and other rims NZeder? paul it sucks how all the watanabes etc off silvias dont look or fit right on a zed...and then i find you always come across some rims off silvias that have an even lower offset becasue they are wide, but when u work it all out they still wont fit ofcourse ...i could be tempted to sell my rims for the right price to help finance other parts of the car which could help it move again lol

looks like a good turn out! where was it advertised to get the wider range of cars?

as long as the price reflects the condition, and its straight it should do the job, where abouts are you located and what sort of money would you be after for it? feel free to pm me

I'm after a vented bonnet, preferably in melb so i can pick it up

couldn't u just buy another master cylinder for that sort of price? good excuse to change to the ratio mayb to suit ur new brakes better?

gtr halfcut susspension with brake upgrades already attached

www.ae86drivingclub.com is a site that is accessible from a few other domains, sure helps people such as myself find it, who wouldn't know that they are changing their name the whole time lol a nice 240z image that could easily be vectorised is that side on shot nissan used in 350z advertising of lights reflecting off the car side on, i'm sure i have it saved, just a matter of where...if i find it and have time i'll attempt to put something together too

how old is he? in one of the pics the car has p plates

thanks gav, but the green aint staying lol, bmw have awesome colours such as this grey. i'm assuming this car has no rego? getting a car around australia is under a grand, and even cheaper if my mates driving a close to empty truck back from somewhere, but i dont think he ever heads up to darwin lol. anyway, it would be cheaper/faster/easier to buy this, but it also prob would of been to buy rb30's zed...my car will be back on the road sometime, just gotta find a halfcut for the right price, anyone able to help me out?

its raining in doncaster, but hopefully it clears up. meanwhile it starts getting really hot again on monday, gotta love how melbourne weather screws us over every weekend! cya at the meet point

awesome colour, whats it from? have you taken it an engineer at all? just interested as to what they said regarding those brakes being sufficent or not? as it'd b great if they are! i would be interested but feel like i'd be abandoning my car lol, good luck with the sale!

i have an r200 out of my manual 260z if u want it, it was noisey although it wasn't removed for this reason. i had my "replacement" diff refreshened by the guy craig mentioned and its also noisey when the engine is slowing the car down, although i've read that due to the gears wearing a particually way they are noisey when running hte opposite direction, so seems like a reason why they would be noisy while just rolling down a hill etc i think a proper diff rebuild involves a new centre, which is close to a grand if not over it. mayb we should all do a group buy of those copies people have access to in america? the other common diff noise is it clunking when you back off the pedal

thanks for clearing that up for me, and the great explanation on the fuel issue. where abouts did you mount the fuel pumps and surge tank? i'll try to find a build thread of your car The mounting holes make alot more sense, i'm hoping if had an r32 halfcut in front of me i would of been able to work it out!

and thanks for the info rbz, as i was asking a question regarding if there was one in aus and i agree that nicks car looks like it will be one awesome beast, but urs aint to bad either two things you mentioned in point 6 i'm not quite following. what two small holes? and why would u need to replace a high pressure fuel pump on a regular basis if its in a custom fuel tank with inbuilt surge compartement? i feel as if i'm reading something wrong

good info, i remember seeing pictures of nicks car but forgot what motor was in it...its not particually amazing that you can fit a 4 cylinder into a zed engine bay lol on a bit of a side note, one of my mates for some reason thinks that being the first car in australia to do a particular conversion is the best thing ever, i wouldn't have thought it really mattered where it was, besides the fact you might be able to get kits in some places to make things easier ...if u want a sexy sr20 powered car stick with ur s15

2+2's didn't start being made till atleast 74, but thats really a non issue lol you use the engine and gearbox out of the car of your choice, and generally get a custom drive shaft made up to mate up to your diff, although people like to upgrade the rear drive shafts to ones that use cv's, and if you look around on hybridz.org there is info there on putting the s13 or r32 or something...complete rear susspension into 240z's, there is also lots of info on both swaps on there. as far as i know there isn't an sr powered s30 in australia yet? time wise i'd assume the same amount of time as putting in complete after market gauges, exhaust, brakes, fmic, ecu if ur using pre made mounts so there isn't the time spent working out the right side for them. getting it all perfect is sure to take you forever though, and depends if your going to get it engineered as they might be fussy rb26 is obviously better and an ls7 would also be nice... coilovers are generally made by local susspension shops as there are no "off the shelf" type ones cheap, but please tell if you find some you can get the period style body kits easily enough, suppliers in america are possibly the easiest for modern looking side skirts, which i think look quite ugly on 240z's unless done right sleep time

is this the sort of thing u mean?

man u'd have to b doing more than just selling a laptop to b funding an ae86 and 240z project! how r u going to decide which one to drive?? or are you putting off worrying about this until its an issue?

one of each its probably easier to paint it silver then change it to black than to do it the other way around?

awesome

good to hear zeddophile, u still got any parts left from ur old one? or i guess u now have a reason to hang onto them???

I'd love to come along and video, and would particually like a ride in a wrx and a v8 powered 260z I need another zed fix, my cars not currently at my house and its just a weird feeling lol

hey, i have one, its not the brightest (its a few years old, 6+ so the technology's improved quite a bit since) but it could be used if you can't get another. the only prob is that i now have a work event to go to that night so i wont be able to come along so i wont be able to bring it with me. If someone is going to be driving past my house in east doncaster and wants to pick it up that could be a possibility...

i think alot of the rb20 bashing, if u'd go as far as calling it that, comes from america and hybridz as you can make an l28et produce the same amount of power quite easily and since an rb isn't very common there, its really not worth the money and the hassle, where as they got sr20's in some fwd form over there so they can atleast get some parts? it doesn't make sense to me for nissan to put an sr, if its an better engine, into their cheaper car. my thoughts are just dont do something you'll regret just to save a bit of money now, as when you get a fulltime job u'll hopefully have more than enough of that! and if you ever go to rebuild an rb you may as well build up an rb30 gav's selling his car???
