  1. Do you mean this one? I believe they are different cars... http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,12258.0.html His carsales ad shows winning NDSOC Concours 2001. Would appear his name is Paul Tsakmakis.
  2. Hey guys, Was just browsing around carsales (as you do...) and was looking a little more closely at this brilliantly done 240z: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Datsun-240Z-1970/SSE-AD-2694715/?Cr=2&sdmvc=1 Is the owner on here or another forum? or is there any more known documentation of it? I did a search/hunt but came up donuts. I'd love to read about it and see some better shots. James
  3. Hey Dimitri, That's not too far out of the way for me, could probably pick up for you. I'll PM you. James
  4. What suburb Dimitri? Just says "beach" on the ad.
  5. holy f*ck...
  6. I have also received the same information as Roberto quoted, direct from king springs. (They were quite forthcoming with info) I decided to go with the 160lb (f&r) Lovells springs as I wanted linear rates f&r. They are also supposed to drop the car by around 30mm but I believe they have actually lifted slightly. (I didn't measure sorry) It would be relevant to note that I combined the springs with the "factory replacement" kyb gr2 struts, which wouldn't help trying to drop the car. EDIT: To clarify, my car is a 240z
  7. Welcome... I just saw the updated photos from a week ago, love the look so far! Also looks like you've started with a very straight car, a very wise move! What sort of coilovers did you go with and where did you source the front bar? (I've been toying with the idea of both haha) Good luck with the interior, mainly the wiring..
  8. http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w97977893 Are these the non 240z type of genuine Nissan fender mirrors? From what I have read the "proper" fender mirrors meant for the s30 have longer stalks and come in matte black from the factory?
  9. I recall a few people looking for hubcaps like these a while ago... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DATSUN-240-Z-260-ZXHUB-CAPS-SET-OF-4-14-/201057420298?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ecff4c40a&_uhb=1 Also R200: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-240z-260z-Lock-Diff-R200-/151265495665?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2338204a71&_uhb=1
  10. Are your retrofitted lights 35w (image posted above in previous reply), zedevan?
  11. Count me in for a set - Chrome, with halo, 5000k 55w HID's (RHD pattern) Cheers James
  12. wowzer, seems like a lot... but also looked like a very clean example with little to do. (except maybe the interior and corny decals) ps. great collection of pics above, thanks!
  13. http://www.zincplating.com.au/ Is this the one? I'm guessing that it's the super zinc that is used?
  14. I'd be interested in hearing what it's like - I've got a mate hooked on zeds and he mentioned it to me earlier today! I reckon I can convince him to bid, but haven't been able to find anyone in Sydney to take a look on short notice...
  15. What material are you using to electroplate?
  16. Yeah, sorry, neglected to reply earlier - count me in. EDIT - Scratch that, about 2 hours after I registered the 240z I found out an important work conference is all day that Sunday Now I won't even be able to get down for a look...
  17. Thanks Roger - I had heard some good things but it was all second hand information. I've booked the car in so will hopefully be running a bit smoother shortly!
  18. I'm also interested in a set - how much will you be charging?
  19. Not too far from me - I actually recall seeing you driving on the Parade a while back (good looking car!). Will definitely keep my eyes peeled. Good luck.
  20. Hi All, Just looking to see if anyone has any personal recommendations for a carburetor tuner in Adelaide? I am just South of town but happy to travel a bit for a good job. Or if someone has mad skills and wants to help out/teach me a thing or two I'm happy to pay in cartons and/or cash Cheers James
  21. Thanks Adam - take your time and if/when you take a look at what else you might have available just shoot me a pm. Cheers
  22. I'm interested in the glove box if it is the plastic type and in good condition (and of course if surplus to your needs). James
  23. Loving this idea!
  24. Low springs paid for and posted, stock springs still available.
  25. My zed should be registered again by then... though I did think I'd be back on the road by Xmas haha
