Hiya, Congrats on the 260z. Well if you have it roadworthy, have some fun and drive it for a bit first. Once you start stripping her back to metal and cutting out rust its going to take a little before you finish. That all depends on your rust situation ofcourse. This will also give you the chance to modify suspension ect while you have it in parts. Good luck! Later Add

Hiya, Do you still have the Center Console? and if so what condition? Thanks Add

P.M. Sent Thanks Adam

Hiya, Front spoiler firstly how much? Is there any damage? Is it fiberglass or urethane? This will do for a start Thanks Adam

Hi, I agree with the driving skills comment. The experience that you have as a driver can close the gap over tuning, depending upon the situation (not so much in a strait line). But as far as tuning goes suspension is the greatest performance mod imo. The greater the speed that you can enter and leave a corner the less you have to make up on a strait. Please excuse my ignorance , however I am always reading more and trying to find more information. I would be really interested in reading that artical on the stock vs BRE comparison mentioned earlier by NZeder. Later Adam

How big was it? Sounds like you'll need a CODEC pack. I Think theres one called "allinone-#### (2031 i think) " install that and it should solve your problem.

Don't have a pic, but the dark silver on the bmw x5's looks awsome, goes with chrome and black really well . Thats what im looking at for the 260 after im done with the cancer patient.

Hiya, sorry to revive an old thread. I got a phone number for a guy Shane to buy a front spoiler from, gave a few calls on different days and no response. Just wonering if he was a member here and if so whats his user name so I could PM him. Thanks Add

Hiya try this, 1. Right click on desktop and go to properties 2. Select desktop tab and click the customise desktop button at the bottom 3. Click on the web tab and uncheck the lock desktop option. Sorry collapsed steps tired and coffee is not kickin in at this point Later Add

Gah, flash back of a diet consisting of only 2 min noodles.

You gotta love that feeling of content. Thanks for the info, still debating about the rear but will definately have to order a new front spoiler. Thought I would start at the front and work my way back. Works with books, hehehe.

Awsome thanks man appreciate it. Have also contemplated the possibility of a rear spoiler as well. Not the park bench type but the kick/lip type. Trying to keep a distance from the ricers. Does shane also do these?

Hiya guys, Been working on stripping back and doing the body work on the 260. Going to be a long process as all projects are. Was wondering where to obtain front air dams for the Z in vic? Have searched the forums to no prevail unfortunately. Any help in being pointed in the right direction would be good. Thanks Add

I know on youtube they have a trailer for the live action move (as the japanese call it). Better news is that the team that made the initial d anime are going to remake the old midnight wangan. It starts airing in may so my mate told me. Check out highway speed star it has a 280zx like the one at tokyo show in it.

Put another one in, that way u can have a 4wd Z

Hiya, Another game that I have on PS2 that has a 240Z is Enthusia. The whole game is based on driving style. Got to the point where I can beat the dodge viper drift style. Awsome!

Hey, given lemons make lemonade.

Well I had a look on tradingpost.com.au and in the second hand section u can pick up a neo rb25 for $5000 including the gearbox. So throw another thou for a gearbox, dont know if they offer lume and comp. But using this setup will cost around 8k before u can even drive it on the road (rough working out in my head). That will include aftermarket engine management, conversions, engineering, motor and gearbox ofcourse, suspension (front). What u want is a front cut for that amount. *sigh*

Cool, I was considering the turbo conversion to the old motor swapping out the N42 (I think, been a while) to put in a P90 not sure whether to go the P90A or not. The main reason I was considering the turbo engine is the fact that it has thicker walls in the cylinder wall, has larger groves for the cooling of the block (so I have been informed) and comes with the P90 head. But the reason I asked here was different people have been giving me different answers, alot contradictive. So I thought I would as a comunity of people who actually know what they are on about. Someone has offered to sell me a R34 rb25det for 4,000. Whats the story with these neo engines in relation to the r33 version? Thanks for the assistance all it has helped alot.

I am actually a bit of a purist, so I would like to continue to use an L series engine.

True, however then u have to pay for engineering certs and last time I checked both those engines required modifications to engine mounts, plus new gear box and fabed universals to go to the diff. That also adds up. Plus correct me if im wrong both engines actually weigh more than the l28.

Well as i said the true pupose is not for street but for hill climbing and maybe track events. Living in Central Victoria has its downsides. The current engine is a l28e out of an 83 s130. I have considered making a 3.0 bored engine. There is a guy in bendigo that makes drag racing engines who said he could do it, take about a week. Rebuild plus improvements will be approx $2500 that doesnt include fuel injection system.

Hiya, First post so be kind, hehehe and have done a search. So the qn is how to obtain an l28et in Australia. I have seen plenty of conversions from NA to Turbo however different blocks and heads and lots of money was used in oreder to obtain the required results. I figured that it would be better to obtain an existing l28et via import. It would save chasing around and waiting for the parts to come up by chance. Is there some one in victoria that I could contact who has been know to import l28et's or even have them. Oh by the way this is going to be placed in a hill climb car (l28e), so the power is necisary. Thanks in advance. Add

Owned a few s130's and all on the right hand side that I can remember. But they all had them.

Hiya, Know the feeling, mine ended up being worn as would be expected due to age. The Nissan Bluebird has the same setup, picked up a replacement reasonably cheap. Not a great deal of help I know but its an alternative.
