  1. Any high resistance connection causes heat; especially one that carries so much current! Best thing is to replace those connectors with new ones, don't bother cleaning them.
  2. Excellent news... going to have to see it when it's done..you know who to see for some lighting .. now waiting for the jokes to come rolling in..
  3. We can have a quick look to see if we can get them going again...
  4. Hows the head cold progressing? Or has it gone?
  5. Hi all, I have a skin cut from a roof of a 240Z, that isn't a complete skin, but about 90% of a whole one; hasn't had the spotwelds drilled out and the whole skin removed..just been cut with a grinder around the outside perimeter. Perfect if you want to cover a sunroof hole in your roof. Can be trimmed and butt-welded in place. I can take a pic if needed, but its just a piece of curved sheetmetal.. Asking $200. PM or call O413 two 4 3 76O for details... Thanks.
  6. Sorry for the late reply...But hope you had a Happy b'day... as you know haven't been near the PC for a couple of days...
  7. Sounds like it could either be the brushes on the starter or the contacts in the solenoid; brushes can be replaced, and some solenoids can be serviced.. Pity you're not in Melbourne...have about 5 starter motors that are getting scrapped....
  8. If you're going to that much trouble to install an RB, i wouldn't waste my time with a SOHC version.. At the very least an RB25DE (then throw another few thousand bucks at it to get the same power as a healthy L28). Either a RB25DET or just stick to a good L series with some good mods and you should be happy with the result.
  9. Bruce, I have one here unless you have found one already..
  10. Fu, that one is gone but I do have a 260Z one that holds water...haven't tested it fully but if you want it, it's yours. Don't know about that other poster about Toyota parts? WTF? must have been deleted...
  11. Looks like a triple Weber manifold should work with that..
  12. Ash, after this weekend, I may have one.. I'll let you know..
  13. I've used a small bit of hose running to a fuel filter clipped under the body for a vent for the diff..works well.
  14. Last call.... going to the ACT this weekend. If anyone needs anything big moved, this Friday afternoon is your last chance to get it to me before I go.. PM me if you need anything.

    Leaky door?

    Hahaha...don't know why I typed "house"?? Hose!!!.. its been a loooonnnggg week for me and with heaps of things on my mind. Also, just typed this to make 3000 posts... of crap!
  16. If all goes well I should still be able to make it..
  17. Welcome aboard Myles, Does the wife enjoy driving the zed? Or is it too loud and stinky? hahaha That's what my wife thinks..
  18. Good find..now I think I know where my headers are from. They look identical!
  19. You're not wrong about an electric water pump to make it easier..there would be extra pulleys and belts to add then having to make a cover to fit it. Is that timing belt an RB26 one and will all the timing be right? Will you be running carbs or EFI with ind throttles?
  20. Are you doing all this on the ground with the car jacked up? If so' I'd recommend getting the car to where you have access to a hoist so you can get under there properly and as Gareth said, I nice ring spanner and make sure its not partially on and then try to undo it. Give it a couple of light taps with a hammer to "break the seal" then if needed give it some heat.
  21. This will be a monumental build.. hope it goes smoothly!
  22. Peter, I had a similar problem with the shifter popping out of 5th... I was dreading it was the gearbox but luckily turned out it was the rubber boot pulling the shifter back into neutral... Try it without the boot first before you remove the gearbox.

    Leaky door?

    As Fu said, get someone to spray the house on the car while you are inside with the carpet removed and you may be able to find where it comes from..
  24. Oh Simon, did you lose a heap of oil to make you spin? any more news?
  25. I'd love just the rolling chassis...Always wanted a tubbed zed!
