Once they are on you want them to stay on...

Yep I seen that one, but is getting a bit rich when you add $50 postage on top. all I need is a working one so I can get the defroster working for registration.

Yep I am that desperate..... send some pics...does it have the control levers etc?

I mainly play from cd's so I would need a 6 stacker if I were to buy the retrosound unit. http://www.retrosoundusa.com/ The Retro Sound plays from a sanyo cd stacker of up to 10 cd's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_mzGzriNBY http://www.retrosoundusa.com/video

Mick I am sharing the load as a Tassie moderator not that there is much to bare. but a couple of heads could be used when organising a Tassie meet and when the boys come over from the mainland for the Targa cuise.

Oh it is her car.. Sexy, good attitude, mechanically minded, and perfect taste in cars.....all she needs now is a flat head and she would be the perfect woman lol.

Ever wanted a 300ZX Z32 R230 diff (equivalent to 9 and a quarter. inch diff) in a 240Z?

very good keep us up to date

Right..... it is about time for the second issue isn't it? Four issues per year???

Nothing wrong with the old 120YUK.. lol I appreciate all dattos. I can appreciate your other cars but just not my style.

Yeah thanks FuFu I was a little bit busy and had some late nights during my stay. I will catch up with you on another meet and buy you those promised beers.

Thursday 4th September Took the halfshaft in to get repaired and installed it later on in the afternoon. Changed all fluids in the gear box and diff. Was ready to take the car for a test drive when the radiator sprung a leak, had to take it to the radiator shop to be welded up and picked up Friday morning. HAD AN EARLY NIGHT WONDERING IF I WOULD GET THE CAR HOME THIS TRIP. Friday 5th September Got the radiator fixed (core isolated) plumbed it back up and took the car around the block for a test drive and to wear in the brakes. Drove from Hallam to The Spirit Of Tasmania Port. The car ran perfectly except for a noisy throw out bearing and tailshaft uni cluncks from a worn universal joint. HAD MAYHEMS NUMBER FOR BACK UP JUST INCASE ANYTHING BROKE, BUT WE BASICALLY HAD REPLACED, TINKERED OR FIXED EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE SUSPENSION. Saturday 6th September More to come...with pics.

Wednesday 3rd September Got new tyres installed on the rims at $70 per tyre, and they looked like good wet weather tyres too. "AUSTYRE" Installed mechanical fuel pump and L26 fuel rail, later had to take the mechanical fuel pump off because the cam did not have a lobe to work the arm of the fuel pump. Changed the engine oil. Installed brake calipers and bleed, Installed bumper and spoiler so I did not have to cary them in car. Rev bought a set of flat top su’s with side fuel bowls around. Supposedly there is a bit of conjecture if they are genuine 240z carbs. They look exactly like the ones I have in a manual. These carbs have had $900 spent on them and were used on Revs daily driver. I purchased these off rev. Installed Revs carbies Used a Facet fuel pump in Mayhems workshop to get fuel to the engine. As soon as there was fuel in the engine it fired up imediatley on 3 cylinders at first until we connected the Facet pump inline with the entire fuel rail to feed both carbies. We were very suprised and lucky that after sitting for 5 years this engine would start with half a turn of the starter motor. THIS IS ALL THANKS TO REVS CARBS. This was without the chokes connected up too. The car sounded like a NASCAR with exhaust running straight off the headers. Cut welded and bent exhaust to fit car. was a bit of a head ache and still needs modification to sit up in the gearbox tunnel. TESTED THE CAR AND THE BRAKES IN THE CARPARK.......ENDED UP BRAKING A UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE HALFSHAFT,

Tuesday 2nd September Woke up early and jumped on the train to get to the train station that was just down the road Mayhems workshop. Started ripping all the parts out of my suitcases and installing the on the engine. hoses, accelerator linkages etc. Tested the starter motor and compression of engine. Went down to repco and bought some manifold bolts, and odds and ends. Was deciding weather to risk putting my half stuffed 260Z carbies on or ring rev up and use his. Wired up the starter motor, battery, coil and distributor. Connected up the wiring loom for the light and tested to make sure they work. Drained the stale fuel out of the fuel tank and connected up the fuel lines.

Monday 1st September In the morning I done some shopping that I could not do in Tasmania. I met up with Mayhem in the afternoon to collect the car on his custom built lightweight trailer for Zeds. We took some of Mayhems spare wheels so we could winch the car onto the trailer easier. Once we got it back to Mayhems work shop we were able to check the car out better. Only rust was a little bit of surface rust as in my albums and fufus description, the car had been professionally repaired, but the body seemed to be just a little bit out of alignment with the gaps in the bonnet either side, but that could also be the crappy bonnet that is on it. Got home to my friends house and they had a roast meal cooking for me. YUM.

Saturday 30th August Flew over to Melbourne with 48kg of parts off my 260Z 2+2 and tools. Should of cost me $80 extra but they let my bags on for free. I had a fuel rail, fuel pumps, bolts, set of just running 260Z carbs, air cleaner etc. Sfc751 picked me up from the airport and took me to have a look at the car for the first time in person. It was dark and quite packed in the shed so could not get as good a look as I wanted. The paint was a little rougher than in the pics I had previously seen. The car had also been repaired from a front right hand accident some time in its life, but generally I was impressed. Sfc751 and I went out to find a hotel for me and to have a bit of a mung at a local restaurant. Sunday 31st August Sfc751 picked me up from the hotel and we set out to get all the parts I had purchased plus extras together and in the car. After spending half the day scrounging around in the garage, a few cups of tea and some Russian cakes. We finally had all the parts in the car and 3 tires pumped up; one had a split in it. I went to a friend’s house to stay for the rest of the time I was in Melbourne.

Transportation I debated different ways of getting the car back to Tasmania. Transport company: $692 http://www.movingcars.com.au/ (this was for a running car with no parts in it) $930 Toll shipping (this was for a non running car with no parts in it.) $1400 from some other company I can’t remember no parts as well. All were too highly priced and left my parts in Melbourne. To take a tandem trailer from Tasmania to Melbourne return $1300 Boat Fare (so high because of the length of my X-Trail and Trailer 14m) $250 Trailer hire Fly over to Melbourne get car running and drive back to Tasmania. (Option I chose) $63 Temporary Registration for car 28days $65 Virgin Blue flight avoided an $80 surcharge with luggage $237 for car and cruise seat for me (I managed to get an upgrade to a room through a friend)

Owning a couple a 260Z 2+2’s and just selling my 1989 Failady Z32 DETT, which is currently being prepared for Targa Tasmania 2009, with the spare cash from the sale I decided to start looking for either a 240Z or 260Z 2 seater. After looking at a few and having one deal fall through, I decided on this YELLOW 1973 240Z.
