    Which color are you after and what condition do they need to be in? Cheers
  2. Brabham
    Nice color Groundhog. Was your car that color from factory?
  3. Brabham
    I thought the lighter green was #302 or #113 like Andy's car Gav? I like all the colours you posted above.

    Good stuff Rudi, hope the new place has a massive shed, if not I'm sure you'll build one. I am definitely a fan of the Emerald green, one of my favorite zed colors so I vote for that. Is it #303? Not a fan of the lighter leaf green. Cheers

    Buy one with the guards cut. I think people will start returning the cars to original as values rise.

    Probably get the dash and reskin it. I haven't seen repro dashes. Reskin is 500+. The two places known for zed dash restoration are dash original in Adelaide and dash doctor in Melbourne. Not sure if 2 seat and 2+2 dashes are the same?

    Thanks guys, managed to get the drum off and it now rolls freely. Will be a lot easier next time!
  8. Brabham
    Thanks for that, will give it a try

    Thanks guys, will give it another go on the weekend. Andbir do you have a photo of where the adjuster sits on the rear left? Cheers

    I disconnected the handbrake cable. Will check if there is any fluid in the system. The car has sat for years. Thanks Peter. Worst comes to worst it was coming off slowly by whacking it from behind.

    Hi all, The brakes have seized on one of the rear drums on my 2+2 as it has sat there for ages with the handbrake on. I gave it a bit of a whack on the front flat surface of the drum to try to free it up but no luck. Jacked it up and started to try to get it off by hitting the fins of the drum from behind using a big hammer with a block of wood so as not to damage the fins. Was coming off about half a mil at a time. Is there a better way?

    Would one of those fuel tank restoration businesses be able to restore a tank like that? Or how would the POR15 kit go on that? Cheers

    Hi all, were these headlight covers original Nissan or a dealer fitted option? I thought the only original Nissan items had the chrome surrounds but have seen lots of these fitted to cars. Cheers

    Looks good, who did you get to do the blasting Gav? How does vapor blasting work, is it just steam or do they use an abrasive?
  15. Brabham
    Thanks mate, I ended up finding that and recommended it to a friend. He said it worked well. Cheers

    Looking for the black sticky stuff that holds the plastic moisture barrier to the door behind the door cards. Anybody know where to find it? Thanks

    I'll go third for the k frame

    Why not paint it Gav? I had assumed they were painted and they shouldn't get that hot. You could use heat proof Chevy Orange.

    Bumpers look good, how much was it to get one of them done? Do you know if they sent it to Victoria or did it in NSW? Cheers

    I wouldn't touch the cheap eBay 45s. Get a set of triple 40 Mikunis. Please no flares!
  21. Brabham
    Who are you getting to do your car Youhan? That's why I don't like flares...
  22. Brabham
    Who are you getting to do the blasting Rudi? It will come out well now you have removed all the seam sealer and deadening. Removing it manually is time intensive but will ensure a good job. I found manually scraping it and then wax and grease remover works best, takes hours but doesn't damage the metal/primer. Your floor is in good nick.

    Hi Jeff, rather than trying to sand the panels for prep, you should consider getting them bead blasted as this will remove all the rust. The blaster can also epoxy prime them. Bit late now for the Z but something to consider for future panels.

    If there is another GFC I suspect the values of collector cars might fall again. You can't live in/eat a 240Z.
