Hi,it’s been many years since I have posted on this sight yet have chimed in at times.I have owned my z for more than 25 years and it has been a great journey.I need some help as I’m replacing my front and some rear suspension/steering with techno tuning gear and would like to replace my steering rack boots.Can anyone guide me on replacements. Thanks

Wanting to put a set of coil overs and also a fuel cell so I can tuck up my rear exhaust.Any recommendations please.

Hi I have had my 260z 2+2 1976 for over 20years and when the car was painted years ago the new windscreen and rubber was replaced and never really fit properly leaving gaps in the top corners.Also the scuttle tray has a gap between lower windshield rubber.am I missing something?As the car is getting some paint work done can any body please help with these issues.I’m going to replace the rubber and screen.Is there a difference between the 2+2 and coupe?Where is the best place to get a windshield rubber.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been using the wolf creeks for about 5 years now and they havent broken yet.They have had about 30 launches at the drag strip both with a 255 m&h racemaster and also a et drag radial with the front left wheel off the ground.Also countless burnouts and power skids.Have broken everything else so far accept the cvs.Engine is making 495 foot pounds.I do recall that the wolf creek guy said they would break at those power levels but so far so good as there wasnt much choice at the time for the price.When I snapped my moustache a few months ago I took the cvs to be checked in Dandenong at a cv place and he said they were in perfect conditionHe also said the axles looked super strong and if I broke anything apart from the axles that parts were readily available.

Sorry problem with internet didnt see other post

LSA engine same as in the holden gts.Makes 550hp.$10000 and with a few upgrades will make 700hp+.

For $10000 an LSA engine would be fun,same engine as in the gts,559hp out of the crate and with a few mods make 700hp.

I tend to go to a few car shows as well and find that it is a great way to enjoy our cars and to show them to others who have a common interest being old cars.Sure not everybody likes the same thing,but you,d be surprised at peoples interest in zeds.Some of the shows have taken us to places like hanging rock,Philip island(where we drove on the track),maroondah dam,moorabin airport etc etc where its ended up being a family thing as well.Also some of these shows have raised money for cancer and also community fund raisers so its not all bogan related.But mostly its a great excuse to look and talk about cars for a couple of hours and to drive my cars.So good on you mr260

Wow scoota similar to mine.I think they just cant handle the torque after years of abuse.After examining the one i broke it looks like the reinforcing was done because it had a crack and was patched then painted.I should have stuck with the cars original bar and maybe it would have lived a bit longer.Anyway hope I have better luck with the arizona zcar one.Should arrive this morning.

Alloy moustache bar and alloy supports for an r200 cost me $995 including gst and freight from adelaide to my door in melbourne.The mostache bar itself was $390 plus gst.To import from usa is over $600 US,then conversion plus freight etc so theres not a great deal of difference and also time.Chris has to make something as well.I felt it was quite fair as he gave me a warranty as well for breakage.

Hi Roger it broke 9cm from the left bolt almost straight down from top to bottom.Have a photo but everytime i try to load its saying file is too big.

Yes its chris fergurson.Don't think theres a website but found a facebook site and was able to email him then call him.

Found out the main reason it snapped was that it had been reinforced and spring steel cannot be welded on.Actually bought this moustache bar a while ago off this forum.Not the guys fault he wouldnt have known.I didnt.

Ended up talking to chris from arizona zcar today in Adelaide.He explained their moustache bar setup and how strong they are with some seriously high horsepower cars running them.Top bloke to talked to.I ended up ordering it and should have it by monday at the latest.Problem solved I hope.
