The guy's name is Cedric, he is willing to get them built to any design. This set cost me under $1000 delivered. His email address is mxp.5700@gmail.com

Yeah, I just gave the guy the bolt spacing.

Also the top mount has the correct bolt location to fit our zeds

I have had these coil overs made with tubes to suit 260z struts. I have only just recieved them so i haven't started adapting to the struts yet. With this setup you can get the spring rate you like with adjustable dampener and adjustable height. I was going to do some photos of them assembled.

Hi Alan, It was us that had the problem with Vicroads. We overcame it with satisfying regulation 8 which allows for engine swap of similar size motor. We then gave them info I downloaded showing a 7% increase in horsepower and workshop manual for the 280z and other stuff. I have tried to upload this info onto this forum but when scanning the doc's the file was too large. I am happy to email or fax to anyone who would like.

I will dig up the box for the part number. It works fine, it comes as one unit not with the chrome threaded ring. Repco sells that ring as a seperate item. Bursons have it on their listings. Took a day to get it down from Melb to Geelong

Bought mine 3 weeks ago for about $18 from Bursons. Repco was $50

At the moment the wheels are 15 by 8 with 225's. We want to go a bit bigger diameter and drop it down a bit. Wanted to get thru rego first. The mirrors we sourced from USA. wanted ones with LED indicators as we removed the side guard indicators. I think they came from a hotrod parts supplier. Here is the engine bay at present.

Thank you. The front dam incorporates the bumper bar and is closer to body work where it wraps around under headlights. It is fibreglass. We got it from US but modified it and the flares.

And the answer is......... Regulation 8 as Benji referred to earlier. We downloaded heaps of info on the comparison in power and how the 280z was also manufactured in 1977 in the USA. Even copied an ebay advert for a Haynes manual covering 240z,260z & 280z. So we got it registered this afternoon. Thanks to all you guys for your help. Here is a foto of Cam & ! with our girl. Took seven & a half years, now we can enjoy. We will be getting better wheels and finishing off things but for a while we will just enjoy.

Sorry only one went through

Just a couple of photos of our 260

Yeah 1977, I wish I knew more about the emission requirements 8 years ago. 75 would be a better year

Thanks Lurch & Benji. I rang Trevor, he laughed, said Ben had just rang before me. He tried to help but alas. One of my concerns is if I go the engineer path they may not pass the emmissions from triple webers as they run a bit rich and the carbon cannister would probably have to connect all 3 carbies. Also I only run filters on the rocker cover and crankcase vents. Could try and find some original 1977 carbies with plumbing

YOUNGGI, glad to know there is someone else in the area. Sometimes it is hard to get things like the other day going for RWC we had to find wheels, luckily a guy in Queenscliff I know had a set to borrow. Be good to catch up some time.
