I agree some Roadworthy can be slightly power trip filled when dealing with younger people. Ilike to consider my self very considerate and sensible, and present the car immuculate when doing going to get a RWC togive it the best chance. However, got failed due to a oil pan sump leak, (due to the washer had a small crack from being over tightened) was not really a leak but really a moisture collection. when getting told about it i thought the guy was kindly letting me know. as it was the only negitive point. to fix on nextoil change. But No, he gave it a fail. I know it is an easy fix, but was highly expensive, new oil plus another $80 to backpocket of inspector to get it go over again. I feeln this is very power tripy at best, at worst a scam to get more money. However What disapoints me more is people like 53-681 that makes inspectors gain an attitude like this, trying to take short cuts, and try to "beat the system" and give a bad name to those that have passion in what we drive and maintain. Your language and attitute that you bring to a forum and tendency to shoot of your mouth inappropriatly only gives a clue to how the non car part of your RWC inspection went.

Anyone know where I can get some cheap drugs from overseas?
kobes replied to luvemfast's topic in General Discussions
some people have way too much time -
if you need some part numbers give me a bell. When i get some time i will try fill in some list prices i have at my store. However I will only be working here for approx 3 more weeks as i will be moving on to go workout the mines. So i fear the list may get outdated, however it will give some idea of a base price for an afermarket price

Cars For Sale (3rd Party Sites) Ebay, Carsales etc..
kobes replied to gav240z's topic in Cars For Sale
Ok Just did a Quick Calculation we have 150 Members on this forum with over 150 post ( so regular) ... Or 96 donating members plus 3 Mods ( How weird for the site to have have 99 donating members) if we did a group buy it would only be $180 bucks each plus freight. of course all storage can be in lurch's back yard! -

Hey guys, Quite a Few members May Already Know / figured out the Results of this Question But for those that do not will make it Official. In November i flew over to VIC ( got very sore arms) and Purchased "REV ZED" off forum member Dave, then Drove it back to Adelaide via Old Coast HWY, Then we took our first Train Trip Together, to arrive back in PERTH The car has handled perectly on the drive Home, Put around 1300kms on the Clock over four days Driving from melbourne to Adeliade Via Coastal Hwy, But it was Something i had dreamed about doing and What a car to do it in! It has taken a While to re-register over here in W.A. , The system is good enough, Just wanted to put some personal touches on it, and finish off a few jobs before doing so as I am in no rush as it is not going to be a daily driver more of Enjoyment Sunday Best Deal. Since Purchase Have Completed - Complete Roof Re-uplostry ( c/- batavia coast motor trimmers) - Complete rear boot/hatch area and front kick panels re-uplostered - Have re-built all the locks from local locksimth as boot got jammed and this was a good solution while doing one, mights as well do all - new 195 tyres for the rear - new alt / reg - Finished Installing last few door rubbers. - Did Not want any speakers installed into the car, as the upolstry work to good. So have custom built a 1200w Sub/ amp/speaker box. This has been suprizingly effective, and is easily removable from the vehicle, I thought the sound would be compromized, but is very good. - Working on a better/neater solution for the sub thou, and will post updates in here, as will be trying for some-thing unique. My objective is to make something that is a) Very easily and quickly removeable from the car b) Looks super professional (keeping in with the classic look/lines of the car) c) will house an arrangment of speakers/ amp d) Doees not in any way affective the original look of the vehicle when the item is removed. I hope it turns out as good as i have imagined it to, however will take 6 months or so to complete i would imagine.

A Few Months Back, I posted on the Forum, My Wish for advice on purchasing a 240z with a Rb26 Engine, And Got Plenty of Helpful, Friendly Advise, So Thanks. Using all the Info given I ended up making my purchase, ( Esp. taking notice of one or two people mentioning rust ) Even if it was a Wee Bit different than my original Post, (hey even i not know what a really wanted) I believe it captures the Spirit and has exceeded all my expectations in last few months. In November i flew over to VIC ( got very sore arms) and Purchased "REV ZED" off forum member Dave, then Drove it back to Adelaide via Old Coast HWY, Then we took our first Train Trip Together, to arrive back in PERTH. Thanks Steve for your super Secret List of thing to look for, Think i Hit a few.

Sorry Not Zed Related But putting a call out Need to know if anybody knows of a datsun sunny lying about anywhere or going cheap. Will be reshelled and used as a speedway track car. Thus condition of running gear is not important. The body needs to be somewhat of a safe condition. speedway is a bit different in geraldton to over east, we race on dirt track here in one nice big oval.

Thanks for the follow-up remarks RB30x, glad i could save you a few dollars. Feel Free to post the amounts if you like how much you purchased them for, at the moment i am trying not to post in open forum the prices when supplying prices to members, incase some muppet tries to use it as quote like 2 months down the track. But people certainly can post what they got for if they like. Glad you also took advantage of the newish trade discount, you should find it gives you 10% off the rrp of 90% of stuff in store. There is a little disclaimer in there some-where if you don't spend over a certain amount they may not continue it when it comes upfor renewal in a year or two, but certainly is handy have.

im about to get new master cylinder, so what can you do on the 3 possible options. JB1133 - 240/260z 7.8" Part Number : JB1133 Supplier : ATAP Brand : Protex sell : $ 91.95 JB1361 - 280zx S1 15/16" Part Number : JB1361 Supplier : ATAP Brand : Protex sell : $181.00 JB1419 - G60 Patrol 1"Part Number : JB1419 Supplier : BPA Brand : reliance sell : $153.00 All these items are order in, we do not hold in store So is around 9.95 freight fee to get into the store, however this is only per order, not per item so if you have multiple items you need to order in you can for the same freight charge You can get these from your local Supercheap Store at this price. However As there is so many people looking into this I will spend some more time looking into more options

No probs with asking in here, actually it is quite helpful as others may be able to assit in other area's. At the moment I will PM you with an answer of prices As we can get in all three however the price is a little steeper than what i thought. So expect the prices to be with you in a few moments. In regards to the electronic Dizzy, from what i have read it is one of the best things you can do, however i have limited personal knowledge on the fact as the REV had already installed one in REVZED for me. It is not Something i have seen as an aftermarket part, will have a little look but doubt i will have luck on this one.

Hey Guys, Been in the Parts Department & managing for Over 5 Years now, And i am sure we all have experienced the blank looks and unconfident replies to a question when dealing with any parts department, Believe me, I feel your frustration, all to often new faces pop as the retail industry seems to fly through people, with different levels of experience and enthusasism especially with this mining boom offering big wages. What I would like to offfer to the forum, ( and i do check on here often in work time), Is if you have a part number and want to check out the price, or doubt the availability status been given drop me a question in the thread and i will answer it best i can. Like I said, After working with our systems for last 5 years, and a enthusasism for zeds, I can often use my experience to get a result where a person not so interested may miss. In whole, I am not saying that i can give you a discount, Just if you want a reliable price, or knowledge if we can get you a part number, give me a try, certainly i not perfect, but at least you will know someone that cares is giving it a shot and will tell you straight up, either i can not find it, or make sure you are getting the best info you can Figured it worth at least offering.

79' 280ZX for sale cheap QLD *****Auction ending!!*****
kobes replied to Bigworm's topic in Cars For Sale
Know what you feel like mate! Mine has half an hour left http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230569305539 It has hit the reserve and so looks like it will be leaving me. Pity I can not afford to keep on re-registering all the cars in my back yard, While i am happy it is going, also sad to see it leave.
