  2. And also eff'ing expensive for an Aussie product!
  3. G'day Damo. I see Suls has been in your ear Welcome to the nut house!
  4. Not really - they are fine as long as your not a knob when using it. 12" Petrol powered cutoff is a bit more of a challenge though...
  5. Welcome That 240 was for sale for quite a while...
  6. 9" Cutoff.
  7. Genuine Scarab with a SBC? WTF...
  8. Locked for good measure. Grab a bargan people!

  10. Not at all - I've been on the lookout for an old Datto wagon as a cruiser...
  11. Looks good Dave! Keep that up & I'll be out of a job...
  12. Sound deading, then body colour paint, then vinyl
  13. Salty, If your referring to this link: http://www.datperform.com/tech_archive.htm then yes I have seen it. I'm fairly on top of all that info
  14. Bwahahaha... Sounds like you didn't wedge the tensioner - time to pull the fron't timing cover off & re-align/install it all.
  15. If you look at the original photo's of the Zed, it's got two sets of mirrors on it - original chrome ones on the guards & smaller black ones on the doors: Sprites are fun cars - just not exactly comfortable for someone of my stature! As can be seen in this photo (notice my head is ABOVE the roll bar :-\ )
  16. Cheers - the covers just take a bit of 'harshness' out of the old seats The front 'spook' is one the Harry had made up in steel back in the 70's for it. It wasn't on the Zed when I got it, but it seamed a shame not to have it fitted
  17. Wow! You didn't mess about... Looks great!
  18. Yep, good idea Dimitri! Annnnnnnnd a few gratuitous pics of the Zed out & about over the last few weeks...
  19. Updated
  20. That would be Glen - Rev Dave's mate.
  21. Well not a lot happening with this atm - I'VE JUST BEEN DRIVING IT!!! For the last few weeks however Mike (http://www.spyderautomobiles.com.au/) & myself have been trying to diagnose a full throttle/high RPM miss. We'd gone through the setting on the Wolf ECU a few times & while 'tweaking' the maps improved running, it didn't totally get rid of the miss... Back to square one & this evening Mike decided to check the fuel pressure to see if the pumps weren't keeping up, causing them to simply run out of juice. We got a bit of a shock however when the gauge shot up to 3.2bar while the engine was running! Looks like I'll be needing to get a FPR soon... Next we checked to see if the new fuel filter were blocked - no dice, it was A-OK. Hrmmm... Next the Ign. coil was swapped out for a good 2nd hand one Mike has under his bench, as the original one looked rather tired. BINGO! I took it for a blast up the road & not even a hiccup! It feels a lot more livelier now too, so the old coil had really seen better days... And tonight (because I'm a lonely hermit) I spent an hour or so removing the centre console, cleaning out the half ton of cigarette ash from under it, cleaning the console & installing the new gear stick trim I got of Rev. Dave (as the old original was looking a bit sad). Thanks heaps Dave! A worthwhile improvement! Oh & how to fit a 260Z gearbox (later 71B) into a early 240Z without butchering the centre console? Easy take to the shifter with an Oxy torch & put a few bends in it!
