  1. Oooooooh I likey the bottom pic.... Thats the victory, right? I'm sold, going to get this
  2. Thanks for the responses guys. I'm not really worried if it improves the handling of the car or slows me down, as long as it looks good. lol! Maybe my headlight covers will even out the spoiler drag? I do like the black on white, same color as my car. I thought the 3piece might look better color matched like the front spoiler... Yeah I looked at the sparrow tail in carbon fibre, but it reminded me of the whale tails. Can someone explain what testing is?
  3. Haha, guess a zed can make anything look good.... I could fit a whale tail, it'd be a mobile work bench on race days.... could drill some holes to mount a vice on it hehe. I don't mind the ducktail but just looking for something a little different. The wheels came up well Whittie, look great!
  4. It's the same as on the rear of this....
  5. Hey Guys I'm after your opinions on what would look good as a rear spoiler for 240z's, I really like the IMSA 3piece fibreglass one I would color match it to my car, I have a large front air dam and no flares. I'm after something a little different to the standard 'ducktail' but don't want it to look like an SLR5000 (shudder!).
  6. Lol, beat me to it Rev!
  7. Just use a product called 'sikaflex' no need to screw it down
  8. Haven't you heard.. we're the nanny state!
  9. Carbon canister on the webbers wtf! I'd definately go to a different branch, they sound tight. Just put the original back in, like MaygZ said there's prob a note on the file...... then do as you please. Also book for late in the day, that way they are sick to death of inspecting cars and itching to get home!
  10. I have a late 73 240z. I have the three piece rear with the hooks to hide the joins also. Is this normal??
  11. weird... I've never heard of that before. I know people who have gone through the oakliegh branch without a problem, barely looked at it.
  12. Sorry that was a 240z, should be 223mm total for a 260z with 24-35mm free travel
  13. Have you adjusted the clutch pedal travel properly? It should be 202mm +or- 5mm from firewall/toeboard (bottom curved part of firewall) to front of pedal.. Included in that there should be 10-15mm of free travel.......
  14. Try looking at Benzeds build thread, he used electric heaters. No heater core, no silly tap, no leaks and best of all you dont need to wait for the car to warm up before you have any decent heat/demist.
  15. Hehehe. That's cause we've got you Lurch Thanks! Also will the gear go straight in to replace the old one?
  16. Any tips on where to get the part numbers from?
  17. Thanks birthday man, any idea how much?
  18. I just put in datsun heater valve.... Nissan used to do them but they were around $80
  19. Evilbay has a new heater tap for $32 U.S. suits early cable drive
  20. Hi guys I'm after a speedo gear to match my new R180 4.1 diff ratio that is going in, I believe it will be Red in color? Can they still be bought new from nissan?
  21. Happy Birthday Dimitri
  22. I think it's just the front spoiler looks like part of an old evo a bit.... Like the stripes tho Did they make 240's in 74?
  23. Hey Guys, I have a used 4.1 R180 It's getting a torsen LSD and I'm after a good diff repairer in metro melbourne? Also what should i expect to pay for new bearings, seals, and backlash set up? Thanks
  24. I have a 73 240z and thats where my earths are... I just had a look at haynes datsun manual wiring diagrams and they show headlight earths near the horns on a 77 model so maybe try there
  25. Have you checked and cleaned the earth in front of the radiator support?
