So I have this switch underneath the steering wheel to the left. It's a two position switch, it has red, yellow, green and black going to it. I've flicked it and can't figure out what it does? Any ideas?

Looks great . Good job.

Maybe I could just buy some old SU's. Any idea what they're worth?

Heh, I'm not crumbling to the preassure! Just being realistic. Not really worth the cash and work. When I first drove it out of town it felt so loose on the road. I thought she was going to slide around almost every corner. But now that I'm used to it, it feels much better. I've driven non-power steering cars before, but this one is in a totally different league. I'm not too sure about the $200 box. The person bought it off a guy who was doing a conversion that failed. She doesn't know how many K's are on the box and has never seen it in action. Might just spend the extra $100 and go with the guy who had it in his own car, and knows it has 120k's on it. They're pretty easy to find, found several sellers in the first day.

It's not so bad now that I'm getting used to it. I wasn't seriously thinking of getting power steering, was just something I was playing with in the back of my head. But you guys are right, it does have a nice feel now. First one the list; gearbox. Got someone offering me a ca18det 5spd for $200. Should I take it?

He quoted me 800-1k to fully recondition the carby's. I'm not sure if that's a good price? I might just open them up myself and see what I can do. Stevo, do you by any chance know where I can pick up seats, pins, butterfly's etc? I've never bought any carburetor parts. Thanks.

I have several grand canyons up there at the moment, haha. I might get it reskinned, sounds like a good idea. I'm not too sure what consoles are worth, XRQTR. Can anyone give me a rough estimate? P.s Do 240k consoles fit 260z's?

Thanks, Stevo. I'll give him a call and see what he can do for me. Wooloongabba, not too far from me .

I'm slowly getting used to it. When I first drove it and started hooking into corners it felt so weird. Ahhh, the carparks! Zed turning cirlce = fail.

Southside of Brisbane. Driving a 1976 2+2 260z, maroon in colour. Where do you Brisbanites go to get your zeds fixed up? There's a problem with my carbs and I need some replacement work. I'd like to take the zed to a good mechanic who knows what they're doing. Ta.

Thanks, Lurch. Might be worth doing the swap then.

I'm pretty interested in the s13/s14 gearbox replacement as well. Mine is a bit rusty and the sincro's annoy me. I know you have to change the bellhousing, but a bit more information would be appreciated. Cheers.

Looking for these two items to replace my broken and cracked originals. Has to be a manual console. Thanks.

Do silvia discs fit the zed cars? Someone told me they fit with a bit of stuffing around. Can anyone comfirm/give details, please?

Thanks, Rbz. Heh, I am keen for power steering. Though it's a big job, and I am definitely behind on the cash :-\.

Thanks for the welcome. Sorry for the late reply, have been very busy. So I found a 260 . My first plan went bust as we needed a registered/road worthy vehicle. But still keen on picking up a wreck. It's a 1976 2+2, brown/maroon in colour with bubbly/peeling paint (one of the previous owners did a dodgy respray), no rust, fairly clean interior, everything original, 5sp manual, and almost a years rego. I am very happy with it. Needs a few minor interior repairs, but all the trim, seat and doors are perfect. Gearbox is a bit too rusty for my liking, will be looking for a new one. I will post some pictures up as soon as I can find my camera. P.s friggin' heavy steering.

Hi. My name's Josef, and, uh, I love zed cars? Currently searching the market for a 260z 2+2 (heh, that's my price range). I'm after something that is a little neglected and needs a bit of work. I'd like to pick up a zed for cheap and fix it up. I hope I get to know all you guys better when I finally find my dream car. Thanks for reading.
