I never thought I would say that about a nissan engine. I am going to put FORD BADGE on the rocker cover lol

Gramma and use of Capitals look fine to me Lurch.

After I have got this house move out of the way you may get your report lol

http://www.nissan-motorsports.com/ENN/NISSAN/HISTORY/Z/index.html Here is the english version. The link you posted had language option at the top right of the page.

I am just in the process of moving house and I was throwing some rubbish out the other night. I just happened to catch a glimmer of a what looked like a zed engine poking its head out of a small pile fridges and stoves. On closer inspection it was an F54 block / N42 head, I went and got a mate to help me lift it on the trailer, The strange thing is my mate said that is the engine he helped put there the other day, it was out of a buggy that had been sitting in a shed for ages and the owners had no idea what they had. Where I live there is only about 1800 - 2000 people. When you think you have got hold of all the zed parts in the area something pops up like this.

Reminds me I have to send Mayhems back to him lol

Nightstalker make metal chrome ring spot lights with a metal back.

Thankyou for all the feedback there certainly is plenty of food for thought.

The round silver thing mounted to the front right hand side of the head is the standard mechanical fuel pump. The early 260Z 2+2's do not have a rear electric fuel pump while later models do. http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=10930&pos=16

It looks like a Facet Fuel Solid State Electric Pump. Does it make a ticking noise when you put power to it? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FACET-SOLID-STATE-ELECTRIC-Fuel-PUMP-7-10-PSI_W0QQitemZ400020018142QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

US ebay is one of the best places to find the items you are looking for, but with the exchange rate how it is probably not worth it especially having to pay postage in US dollars ontop of the item cost in US dollars.

I will do a post when and if my brother does a decent job of the 3D Mesh. I am sure he will make it look accurate but probably not exactly measured.

It is you car do it how ever you like. But leaving the white on the buldge I would say you would want to continue the wide stripe to the rear of the car, maybe with a medium greay pinstripe. It would look good all grey ontop aswell.

I used to use 3D Studio max back in school. My brother is a pro at it, I might give him a model of a 240Z that I have and get him to make a 3D model of it for me. Everytime I get him a present I go around the next day and he has it modelled and animated on the computer.

Take the dark line off around the bonnet buldge and I think you may have something there. I quite like it especially with the stripes on the fenders. My personal taste would see darker colours used instead.

yeah that 280ZX 2 seater could be a good one and reasonably rare.

Rev you are a very talented man, you can re-cover everything not only seats and other vinyl bit in a zed etc. ?

You will be lucky to find one in Tas AKKA. Have a look at the Tassie forum on this site. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/board,115.0.html Check out this thread it is my new project car, but has info on transport back to tas, which I think is your best option. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,3025.0.html 260Z 2+2 This car is the only one I know of for sale in Tassie. The bloke has had it for sale multiple times over the last 6 month on ebay. He may sell it for cheaper than he has listed on ebay. Ring him and find out. Only semi bad thing is it has a Z31 VG30 engine and not a standard 2.6L L series motor. All depends on what you want. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Datsun-260z_W0QQitemZ330298473477QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Cars?hash=item330298473477&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 260Z 2+2 Here is another from NSW, depending on your budget this may be a much better car, just drive it home on the boat. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/datsun-260z_W0QQitemZ160306866661QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Cars?hash=item160306866661&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 260Z 2+2 Another example this one has an SR20det motor. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/260Z-Datsun_W0QQitemZ180316962479QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Cars?hash=item180316962479&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 240Z Want something really nice? It is a touch on the expensive side.. but has been listed for a very long time. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1971-Datsun-240Z-Orange-M-Coupe_W0QQitemZ280287039762QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Cars?hash=item280287039762&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

If that is Lurch he should change his Avatar pic to that face. It is uglier than his current Herman Munsters Butler Avatar. lol

If someone had done that to my ZED I would have seen red. I would probably be in jail for murder.

lol

The site worked a while ago for me. Usually when a site is blocked it gives a message explaining pornorgraphy etc. When I try to access the site now it just goes to the internet screen like there is no internet connection or no such site. I will have to send an Email to admin to see what is happening. Thanks all for letting me know it is still going.

Must be this server at work

I AM A BIT LATE SO .............. MERRY EASTER EVERYONE Lurch I know it is caps but fully intended.

http://www.zhome.com does this site work on other peoples computers? It was a wealth of knowledge for people new to zeds.
