  1. Fuck. Thought I got lucky ordering a replacement blue glass passenger window off of ebay in Australia. Ended up being 2+2. Cant be f'd Rewrapping back up north for a refund. Was my mistake not looking close enough. If anyone needs it down in Melbs feel free to shoot me a message. Free, But shoot Gav something on Paypal for the website. Located Melb's northern suburbs. Thats 2 box's of sand from japan and now the wrong one. 4th times the charm? *If anyone has one spare. Let me know. ... .... - 240/Early 260 rails.
  2. I have one for you Gavin, Shooting you a message on FB
  3. All good, Thought as much. Probably just opening another can of worms for myself anyway. Cheers for the reply brother
  4. I wouldn't mind trying it out for a look. If not suitable i'll be happy to pass it on. - Mick. Wondering if its viable to have a street front/seats then a track front/seats. *if still unspoken for*
  5. Yep same paint scheme, Had a hard time deciding between red and metallic blue. But very happy with the look of the kia stinger blue. Just gotta pull my finger out and get it done. x'mas work rush is always a pain. *There is also a 1/12 big scale ignition models fairlady Z, in the same colors That I am taking some inspiration from. As that sitting on the desk would pair quite well.
  6. Will do once it's painted. the blue was a vinyl wrap, - (Signwriter by trade) It had 2 different batch numbers on it, One of which went bad after application. Thought it'd be worthwhile painting it rather than another rewrap.
  7. Well, As in the first photo, I did have the Speedhole ebay ones you've linked. They look mount and feel like the $100 you pay for them. and are completely different to the originals? =/ Original mirrors would be nice. certainly. However at least on my build, I am sure not many will look past the modern Kia paint, rb30/26, Carbon seats and wonder why I didn't spend $1500-2000 bucks on some perfect original fender mirrors. I'm hoping these mirrors, Will at least blend in to the look, Not be a total eye sore on the finished car. (Like the plastic speedhole ebay ones are) I believe when I looked he had them as all polished, or black and polished as I purchased. I bought these with the intention of painting the polished part. However looking at them, Not going to bother making the change
  8. Hey Fellas. Just thought I'd throw up some sort of review on the new? Thailand option fender mirrors. Totalling around 375 Aud ( Up to 400 ish with exchange atm) they we a nice in between for me and maybe some others. Ebay plastic speed hole option 125 aud Shipped.. don't do it to yourself. These newer Thai metal remakes - 400 aud shipped. Replica 240z "z garage" 820 aud + shipping Genuine mirrors + Restoration - Small mortgage. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/224875669867 *** Took around a month to produce and ship. Surprised how nice well they look +feel. will have some more pictures on the car once it's painted.
  9. Dennis Collins, Wealthy American bloke that scopes out Shelbys every other week for resell or rebuild, has gotten into an exceptionally original 240z in the states. Worth a watch for the story of the car. I Enjoy this blokes channel, Numbers are never said nor negotiated on screen. Its all about the cars/stories. (And working on there celebrity status I guess)
  10. *Edit* 2:15. Picked the right video From memory Paul (forgot forum name sorry, Admirer from afar ) has 4 studs, With slicks, a sequential, at 800hp. I am sure you wouldn't have any dramas so long as the bolts were sure to be torqued correctly and checked regularly for reference A single M12 bolt/nut has a clamping force of 2200 pounds, *1000kgs.
  11. Unfortunately my Z will not be out of paint until at least February, However would like to come along for some inspiration to do a better job for myself. haha. If that's alright add me to the list and shoot me the address. Also. If Anyones on the fence, I would be driving with a few empty seats from Campbellfield to Lilydale for the event and can pick someone/someone's on the way. So long as you don't mind being in a work/camping rig. Cheers - Mick.
  12. I believe I have a dead one all be it complete if the brackets would help you, in Melbourne. Yours if you cant find anything else. Cheers Mick.
  13. Think I went this route almost 10 years ago after the run-around from motorsport auto. Cheers for the reminder, Going to have to order one for the current Z. Thanks Mick.
  14. Kris - Exactly what I was looking for Cheers mate. Gives me about another 20MM ish more room between driver and Wheel. Cheers again Mick.
  15. Hi Fellas. Looking to see if anyone has any Shorter style boss hub/kit recommendations. Looking at the NRG Option but cannot find an exact measurement I'm looking for on there website. ie - Bottom of wheel nut to actual wheel face. Currently have some generic Autotechnica one that sits around 45mm from Bottom of nut to wheel face. Hoping to gain around 20-25mm of space between seat back and wheel. Cannot move seat further back as rollcage hoop is restricting that. I'm aware I could also go for a straighter wheel option if required. Any info would be a great help. Cheers Mick.
