T.A.P

That is one very rusty car and I thought my was rusty. Have fun welding, but I think you'd be better off with a cleaner shell.

Sorry to hijack your post like this but your price might need a revision. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-DATSUN-260Z-1970-79-SEDAN-REAR-LOW-30mm-LOWERED-COIL-KING-SPRINGS-/150722142050?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2317bd5f62

Looking forward to the video, sounds very interesting.

Croweter, the vacuum distributor locates just above the the fan switch, it has a climate control mode slider to the front panel which allows you to select, Air/Vent...etc There should be vacuum hose routes from the engine to the vacuum distributor (also known as Vacuum Selector) labels S (source), check that you have sufficient vacuum at the end of the hose. If you do then problem most probably lies in the distributor (assuming the diaphrams and hoses are in good nick). You will need to remove it and change the seals and/or apply some grease or swap it over with another one, it's pretty self explainatory once you disassemble it. Heres a pic of the layout.

Check under the dash? Seriouly you will need to check under the dash, check the hoses for cracks and fitments adm the diaphrams. Also the vaccum distributor tends to leak over time and if thats the case you will need to remove and regrease it. Remove the seats if you need to that should give you more space to work with. How long did you have your Z for? Maybe the previou owner made a mess last time he worked on it.

ping pong bumpp.

Thats a steal, I would get my hands on it if I were in Mel. GL with the sale. PS: Did you had the chance to look at the blank plates for me Dimitri?

Intersted in the rear spoiler...how much are you after for it?

Mossy, I used the oxy torch to heat up the 90 degree bend section and once it got hot I used the plier to bend the rod to the left (if its for the right hinge, and right if its for the left hinge), you can do this on either end of the bar. Bend it little by little, the bar will lose its resistant strength after this depending on the angle variation thus it will be heavier when you lift the hood up. Not a problem for me but you should keep that in mind, still way better than the hood sticking up. Cheers Thach

With the bar you can easily adjust the angle at anytime...with the hole its hard to go back.

I had the same problem, you will need to adjust the resistant angle of the either end of the bar so that it generates less resistant when you close the hood. The bar is bloody hard to bend by hand so dont even try, I used a torch to heat up the section where it bends upwards and once it got red hot I used a plier to adjust the resistant angle of the bar. If you need more clarification I can take some pics and post them up...my explaination is best at ESL level.

Ill take the headlight covers if the sale falls.

Please put me down for a set.

Im interested in the pics too, Im getting my setup soon. The only problem now is finding a good machinist in WA.
