Yikes! Glad to hear it's going well. Gassless Mig seams to work ok? BTW I know how it feels doing that bodywork stuff...

It looks damn nice. Don't know why he's called it a 'Targa 240Z' though - there's nothing 'Targa spec' about it... He'll be hard pushed to get 40k for it though.

Mmmm yeah! Needs round tail light though IMHO.

He's selling it? That's a shame He wasn't at Warwick at Easter with it, was he? Good eye indeed - between my Dad & myself we have 5 Bugeye's & a Mk2 Midget Parents garage & tools are great - I do the exact same thing!

Sounding good mate. BTW, who owns the AH Sprite/MG Midget?

Damn Sorry to hear that guys. Anyone want me to post Radar/Lazer Detectors back from WA?

Hey Van, here's a couple of quick ones...: 1: Why would you want to go backwards with a L28? 2: I doubt very highly it would pass an engineers due to emissions. 3: Have you considered a VG30 V6 or a VH45 V8?

$37 from Rapeco/Bursons/Supercrap auto. They also have US/UK/Aus conversions...

I've already driven it round the roads here Craig - not a problem

Or you could buy my 2+2 manual for 6k...

Care to say that in English, Nate?

Which bolts Ben? Get the digicam & post some pics.

Just remember if your going to compete in any forms of motorsport, woodrim steering wheels (except the fake wood rim (acrylic)) are now banned due to safty issues. So the woodrim Motolita one's are out

Cheers guys. Thanks for dinner Sulio (I owe you one!) and Craig & Dimitri for the drinks...

Guys, Due to my imminent departure, Sulio, Craig & I are getting together tonight (1/5/08) for dinner. If anyone else would like to join us at 5:45/6:00pm at the Village Green on the corner of Fern Tree Gully & Springvale Road, you are most welcome to! Cheers...!

Updated just for you Evan

Evan, If yours is a later 260 2 seater with the taller rear strut towers, then yes, this conversion will work for you also

I certainly hope not Gav!

A combined effort sounds about right Though really, we have Nat0 to thank for telling us in the first place!

I'd be getting clarification on that Scootag. $US320 + $US101 for the Manifold & linkage kit. If you did what Sulio did & ring Redline Direct, he got his manifold for $290 + linkages.

Guys, Today I fitted the front strut tops into the rear of my 2+2. I'd already lowered it with Kings 'Lows', but I felt it needed to go a bit lower in the rear. As you can see there is a noticeable difference in rear ride height - much flatter. The front strut tops are a bit over an inch shorter then the rears on late 260 2 seaters & 2+2's (see pic). Quick step-by-step Guide: Jack up car & place on Axel stands. Remove road wheels. Undo the sway bar thats bolted to the lower A arm & move up out of the way. Place a brake line pincher onto the rubber brake and unto the rubber brake hose from the body. Undo the half-shaft from the hub via the 4 14mm nuts. Undo the 3 nuts that hold the strut in the strut tower & slide the strut out. Undo the 17mm nut & remove the strut top (use spring compressors to compress the spring if you have the std springs still in). Swap the tops over. Install is the reverse of the removal.

Sach, I guess it's just the 'Metal Worker' in me I don't like the idea of an Alum. sleeve on a steel strut I'm sure the Alum. if more then up to the task, but having it secured with grub screws... eeek! IMHO, welding on a ring for the sleeve to sit on would be preferable.
