You could just grind down the earth pin on the 15A plug to fit a 10A socket... but depending on the quality of your wiring, circuit breakers, etc your house might burn down. It's worth spending the $ on a registered sparky.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune but isn't this the Z you wanted to drift? Surely it's now perfect for the task?

@ $15k that is a very nice Xmas present for someone. There are people on here looking for $10k "project" cars at the moment. Best of luck with the sale - not that I think you'll need it.

Worst steering wheel cover in the world. Ever. Unfortunately I have nothing to add except being a smart arse. Hope you find the bits you need.

She's effectively offered it to the Z community first by contacting you rather than EBay/local classifieds. To give her the return she deserves it should be offered to everyone in that community, not just those who've kicked in &/or joined the forum. If you choose to limit the market for your own stuff fair enough but if a third party requests your assistance to put something to the market then you can either refuse altogether or put it out to everyone. Anything else compromises you personally. (With no disrespect or suggestion that you have ever, or will ever, do so!) There are a number of people who appear to want a "sealed section", (access to signed up &/or donating members only), & those who support the status quo. Why don't you create a sealed section with no structure, i.e. everything gets lumped in together, & anyone who wants to use it can do so & people who aren't joined up can see topics but not view threads. (As an inducement to join up.) This keeps existing members who want something exclusive to the inner sanctum happy while allowing pretty much anyone to see everything with pretty minimal effort. I've also got $5 says there nothing posted in the sealed section after the first two weeks. When it's dead after a few weeks/months you can either delete it or just leave it there for the once per millennium that someone wants to use it.

The car has Vic Reg till 16 June 2010 Imperfections The paint has a few blemishes and a few very small bubbles starting to appear. As you can see in the pics the car still presents well but could do with a coat of paint in the future. The 260z fender badge went missing. The doors locks are playing up. apparently its a common thing with these Z's The dash has a minor hairline crack that could be easily repaired.

This is a turn key classic that is ready to go and still has more potential. Reserve will not be disclosed but genuine offers will be considered.
