  1. My other toy needs new sycho and the gear change is very vague at best (only box I know that will crunch from 3rd to 2nd at 30kph and let you drop it from 5th to 2nd at 100kph without a problem at all). Sorry I know its not a Zed but thought someone may have a one laying around or if any other box will drop in its place?
  2. Sorry, always go against the trend....silver or black is OK but need to break it and match with bumpers
  3. No way, Gav's rules, every tyres in
  4. As Gav was the initiator is should be his rules but I am thinking the rule should be it has to be the oldest Zed tyre. Cannot win unless it's a 1969 and the prize is knowing you won.
  5. From Gav's post about tyre age and he has set down the challenge: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,15635.0.html https://www.google.com.au/search?q=tyre+date&safe=off&client=ms-android-google&espv=1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sboxchip=Images&sa=X&ei=EADnVJeUDYL_8QXJ-4LAAw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=360&bih=511&dpr=3 Should give you an idea. See if you can beat 1987 Well I checked my oldest Zed tyre is 1986...so I am in the lead...then I checked the spare in my Sports 1981....so the bar has been raised.
  6. George, where is your faith....not that mine was anywhere near as good as Adams, far from it, all original and unknown condition to me.....I drove it from Albury to Brisbane and all I did was to adjust the timing to stop the pinging when I was overtaking...one of most enjoyable drives ever.
  7. Hey guys a 2 seater for $5000, be quick http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mount-eliza/cars-vans-utes/1975-datsun-260z-coupe/1071326387
  8. For you Victorians http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VIC-Number-Plates-ZEDMAN-240Z-260Z-350Z-370Z-Nissan-/301532980830?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item4634c4265e
  9. I have a set of original 260Z and 280ZX mags......they are not for sale....I am just saying....
  10. That looks like great preparation work for a quality outcome. Nice work.
  11. 4 very simple photos that do not show the enormous amount of work between each shot....that motor looks very nice in the place where it belongs.
  12. Just wondering if the first test was done after it had been sitting for years. I would get it running and then do it again and see if it is still low. Does anyone have any idea what you would normally get on a compressor test? If I get a chance I will try mine on the weekend.

  14. Well bugger, bought a set of these today and they don't fit Well at least they said they would take them back if they didn't fit.
  15. Perfect, I was looking for options and the internet always takes me interstate. PB you are 100% correct, face to face is so much better. Is this the mob? http://www.option1garage.com.au/NewWheels.htm You sure they are only $900/set? Thanks 4014, they were offering me the correct offset, this was just a base price.
  16. Has anyone had a good or bad experience with buying wheel and tyre packages off eBay? I have been getting pricing off this mob at Ferntree Gully that seem OK. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201240754047

  18. If you do not know too much about cars suggest you get a mechanic to look it over and also have someone look at body work. Not all expensive Zeds are good ones (but most are I would hope). I am sure someone from here would look at one with you.
  19. What is happening in the world.....first time ever there are the same number of 240Z's for sale on carsales as 260Z's.....6 of each.
  20. Thanks Gav, they are on some nice cars and look cool. The link for Kato had some very nice options too, this one took my eye. Will adjust easily and 100mm dia. so I will be able to see stuff http://performancewarehouse.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=174&product_id=751 Or maybe: http://performancewarehouse.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=174_190&product_id=741
  21. Thanks Gav, do you have a photo a little further back to get a feel of the look? DO you get good rear vision?
  22. Looking at mirror options too, has anyone tried these or any other thoughts? I am used to large mirrors on late model cars and really struggle with the little ones that look great
  23. He had $13,500 on it. Would not be surprised if he just pulled it, it seemed a bit cheap. Its back................................cheaper $12,000 http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/blacktown/cars-vans-utes/datsun-260z-rb30turbo-manual-/1070264287
  24. I know its not purple but its close, the 240 on carsales
