PHOTOS CONT.

Welcome! How long will you be in the Great Ocean Road area? I'll be doing the same trip next week... but arriving Tuesday afternoon and in and around Torquay til Friday. (albeit in a Diesel Golf, not the zed!) Cheers, James

All carpets are now spoken for.

Some more pics as requested.

Hey guys, I've got a heap of interior pieces surplus to requirements and though none of them are in tip top shape, some may be useful to someone as a template or similar, so thought I'd give people a few days to grab anything before I throw it out. See pics below and send me a pm if you're interested in anything pictured. Cheers, James ps. I have already thrown out the piled up door rubbers, they weren't suitable for use.

I think I've got a 260z 2+2 tank in storage - it's surplus to requirements and would be happy to sell it - only downer would be freight. PM me if interested. Cheers

These are on a car with coilovers, which aid with clearance. Somebody else may be able to contribute if these wheels are likely to clear a stock rear setup (front should be fine). I have 16 x 8 (-4) running 205 tyres and get some scrubbing under hard cornering, and my rough understanding/calculation of an 8.5 inch rim at -6 would be 13mm "wider" (towards the outer edge of the car) than my setup (it would also be approx 11mm closer to the body I think). With the thin 205 tyres the difference would not be 13mm at the guard (possibly more like 8-10mm as a silly guess) but probably wouldn't be the most practical choice. Just depends what you care about!

So I've picked up the pictured spare wheel clamp which looks to be a factory item but I'm not sure if it's correct for my car. I believe it has come out of a '71 and mine is a '73. I didn't think of it at the time but I now recall a different type of clamp in my old '73 car (almost 4 leaf clover style for easy hand turning). Just wondering if others can post their knowledge of the different types of these, or even a pic of their stock item and the car it is matched to? Cheers, James

Thanks Gav, yeah I've had a look on gumtree and there are a couple available, but they are either unsuitable or more than the cost of a new one on ebay... haha. Your adage is ringing true, so far!

Hey guys, As per the topic I'm looking for an engine stand and an engine hoist. I'll be buying off ebay if I can't find anything second hand but figured someone in Adelaide might have one they want to offload that's otherwise collecting dust. If you have something let me know via PM or mobile - o4o3 527398 Cheers, James

Ah! Well I got the "tag" bit right at least...

Ad says $6k - it's in the form of a "price tag" under the topic name. Likely a product of the new forum software.

So I gather Roberto's car was your favourite? Haha

Is that like half one of those chocolate coins? Value might depend on who bit into it.

http://www.ebay.com.au/usr/freezeparts?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 I have recently bought from this seller and so far no issues (been installed only 2 months or so). It replaced another ebay radiator which failed within 12 months. Cheers

What else do people pay with these days?

I think you can do this for a functional mirror that will look similar, but from all my reading you can risk breaking the mechanism by twisting it, plus at the end of the day, it's not correct despite looking close to it.

Did they give an opinion as to what would be a better choice?

Hopefully we all have the same left and right though ps. I presume you are talking zed mirrors? If so, then I believe Gav is correct (surprise surprise)

I believe it's been on a 240z/260z most recently - I don't know what colour but the seller is in Queensland. Iceberg - would you like me to get some contact details from the seller for you? Thanks for your thoughts everyone.

Hey guys, I've come across this mirror that was initially marketed to me as a 240z mirror, which it is obviously isn't... does anyone recognise it as Datsun/Nissan or is it just a generic replacement mirror?

Second that! Really nailed the ride height I reckon. What are the specs on the wheels?

Link not working? If it's the one with "gills" then I also recall it for sale in SA a while ago - where is it now?

Thanks guys, Never transported one before so was looking for reassurance that my plan of attack made sense - cheers!! I'm actually not sure how assembled or disassembled it will be, so want to take everything I need to protect it no matter the state of assembly.
