    Alan Stean from the Zcar workshop in QLD has them - least that's where I got my last pair from. About $100 a pair last time...

    The Red Supra? If so, Kyle's Zed is at the same workshop that that Supra is from...

    Got some more done this past Weekend. The Slam panel will be fitted hopefully this WE, which will finish off the rear of the Zed. The rear sill cover panel on the drivers side is looking rather ordinary though. It's clearly been bogged over, so I'm not looking forward to finding out what it's like underneath :-\ Also the lowered King springs have arrived & will be fitted after the bodywork is complete.

    I think your going to have to buy a new one. 2nd hand ones are becoming difficult to source... You could always go 1" - PBR Part No: JB1419

    Posts edited. You guys are correct - I got confused with what gearbox had which 1st gear...

    That's only just run in!

    Yeah I agree with the goof, above. Sorry Herrods - it's a stock L28. Without more in-depth details, it's too hard to tell whats actually been done to the engine though. The gearbox also reads as a S1 280ZX - not 'factory close ratio' at all (unless I'm mistaken?). HOWEVER, 2.5k for a rebuilt L28 & gearbox is still a very reasonable price

    Seams this thread is being monitored by more than a few people, that don't post here... Brother of Craig (ZZZ8) forwarded this onto one 'David Jones' esq. - David's reply is as follows: A very interesting thread! I visited what was left of the Datsun Racing Team in South Melbourne not long after I came to Melbourne (May 1980) with a mate of mine. There were a number of parts lying around the place including a cast alloy 4 cylinder L series sump, fully counterweighted L16 crankshaft, etc. We only had enough for the sump and that now resides on a certain two tone 1600. See attached shots of the engine before going back into the car in 2006 before the Tassie Tour, and one of how the sump sits low under the car. Always have to watch where I go! Wayne Coucaud used to work at Roxburgh Motors and has a few very interesting tales to tell! I always wondered what happened to that crankshaft. As far as Gordon Dobie goes, His 2000 Sports is one of the old Datsun Racing Team cars. I used to pit crew on one of the others for quite a few years. We ran the Australian Hillclimb Champ’s with it and the AUS Sports Car Championship. Those were the days – before marriage and kids! Cheers, Dave

    I've never heard of a Z running at Bathurst. I know a 240K was run though...

    Good stuff Chocolate Man I'll stick my head in for a look (if the gate entry fee isn't OTT...)

    Ah crap - that just choked me up again Chris :'( I can still see Warren having a big belly laugh at some stupid banter between all of us at the Sat. night dinner in Thredbo... Edit: I just received this in an email. If you knew Warren, and would like to post a message on the page simply click here: http://memorialwebsites.legacy.com/Warren_Halliday/homepage.aspx

    I'm sorry to everyone that has received this information so suddenly. I found out he was undergoing treatment when I caught up with him & Kay at the John Mott sprint in July. At the time I did not feel obliged too make his illness more public, though in later weeks I should have been more vigilant in staying in contact with them. For anyone wishing to send a personal email of condolences to Kay, I have her email address. Feel free to PM me for it.

    Hahaha! Pointless work much? Sorry Neuby, but IMHO your wasting your time doing that to the head - unlesss I'm missing something...
  22. C.A.R.
    Thank-you everyone for your messages of condolences. I have forwarded on a message to Kay on behalf of us. Tis a sad, sad time indeed... :'(

    Hi all, Mike will be in Melbourne for work in the first WE of Oct. The only night he has free is sunday the 4th of Oct, so I was thinking of Pizza at La Porchetta in St.Kilda? Say around 7pm? I'm open to other suggestions of where to eat though! Who is interested?

    It is with great sadness that I pass on this news about WarrenZ. I only just sent out an email last night to a few people advising of his condition, when I received an email this morning from his lovely wife Kay advising that Warren passed away on Friday 18th September in a Palliative Care unit in Broadmedows, Melbourne. He was surrounded buy his family. He was 58. Warren was diagnosed with Advanced Melanoma 10 weeks ago & the speed at which it took hold was frightening... :'( There will be a funereal in Adelaide, & a memorial service in Melbourne in the coming weeks. Warren John Halliday: August 14, 1951 - September 18, 2009 If you knew Warren, and would like to post a message on the page simply click here: http://memorialwebsites.legacy.com/Warren_Halliday/homepage.aspx Farewell my tall friend - you will be sadly missed. May you Rest In Peace. Lurch.
