Still about guys! And there is a little bit of a lie in the ad. I sorta do still have time for a sports coupe in my life as I have discovered after listing the car. But I want to go in an entirely different direction, so I might be better off with a stock body car. The car is at 30k on ebay and I have 3 genuine offers of 35k which I am now umming and ahhing. But I an worried I wont be able to buy a clean car for the project at an affordable price.

What did Stewart Wilkins charge you guys for the HR31 CV conversion?

The vinyl tucks under the carpet

Carpets have edges hemmed.

Anyone got one of these roller things laying about? Or even if you have a couple I can try. My drivers door is missing at least one, not sure how many they should have.

Anyone got a spare? I broke a blade on mine somehow last night.

That was quick.

I am interested in an affordable new Z. Being a SUV wouldn't bother me, road tyres and some lowering would correct its stance.

I would love to see them in person before I decide whether I like them or not.

Apparently they meet ADR Standards?

They are a little different in design, but essentially the same style for $430 a pair. Has anyone seen these in the flesh? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CLASSIC-LOW-BACK-PU-LEATHER-BUCKET-SEATS-CAR-FIXED-BACK-BLACK-HOT-ROD-PAIR-/171909927047?hash=item2806a15087 I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in seeing these in my car, if not for good, then just to see how they fit. Has anyone else seen any other seats of similar design?

It looks so good mate. Well done, I just love the 2 seater 280zx!

I am coming too!!!

I love what you are doing with this car. I really want one of these bad boys!

I sometimes wish I hadn't installed these flares. I look at some photos and think it looks odd. But there are some angles where the flares just look perfect. But I am more pleased with the kit because it is uniquely my own. Literally no body else in the world has this combo on their s30 and it only because of the front lip I hacked up for the bottom of the front flares. The sad thing is, this, for the most part (and this important) is the probably the only reason I prefer this kit to the ZG flares. But once I am driving all that negativity goes away and I love the car the way it is. There is not one person that doesn't turn their head at the car and while not important to most I find this to be an appreciation of the work I have put in to it. The proportion up front is a little off because of the front wheels offset, but I have yet to have them corrected. And as it stands now the body styling is complete. The style was based of the below minus the G nose so mission accomplished. I can understand that it isn't for everyone, but neither is a stock car which I feel has something missing. Hell, I believe Nissan must have thought something was missing hence the addition of ZG flares. Anyhow! Things I am chasing next are a new steering wheel and bucket seats as well as fixing up other things as I go. I think I want to add a set of large triples, but have been slowly leaning towards an LS1. I haven't been entirely convinced yet.

I actually cad designed a speaker bracket that mounts in the original spots in both left and right side that fits a 6 or 6.5 inch speaker. You only had to print it out at 100% and cut it out on tin. I run these in my car and they are great. I have the design uploaded on facebook

I do have. Add me on facebook if you like. Search stivva

I have had my car in workshops all this week. Had some new brake lines installed because the old ones had just about given up. We got them made an inch longer because the car was lowered. It also spent some time at the auto elecs getting an overhaul. Relays put in for the headlights elec. Taillights got an over haul also. Dash lights are brighter and everything is stable. I havent seen the car yet, so i am not sure of the results yet but i hope they are fresh as a new car because they charged my a small fortune lol. In other news that kind of excites me, my subaru hit 350000kms!

Ahh. I was not aware that they were so useless lol! well, I guess the aluminium one is the go then!

I was considering an afytermarket solution, but I think I want an original piece. I wouldnt mind something relatively straight, faded paint would be ok, I would repaint it.

Anybody got a spare plate to protect the engine's sump? I am chasing one up.

Another option if I could borrow a set of struts and send those to get converted into coilovers by MCA then upon completion of the build I could give the lender my old struts...

Wow, I am loving the interior progress in this car!

Well, if somebody wants to donate some time and a excavator to dig me out an area for a concrete slab I could build a carport lol

Will take on board that the link to coilovers are no good, so i shall not purchase them. Thanks
