Hi, my name is Scott and I own and operate Tasmania's no.1 automotive tool outlet " Mobile Workshop Supplies PTY LTD " My passion is my 1976 260z that I have owned for the past 22 years, which is currently in a full rotisserie build and a LS1 conversion. Like all of you "Z" fans out there doing work on your car, be it electrical, bodywork or mechanical owning the correct tool/s is essential to make your life easy and the job professional. I have been working in this family run business for 20 years now. We offer two mobile showrooms to the workshops of southern Tasmania in the form of a 10ton truck and a Hi-ace van and two large warehouses displaying about 30+ brand's of quality tools. The key to our success is going above and beyond customer expectations. Everything is available as a separate item, eg. you lose an Allen key we will supply you just that key, instead of having to buy a complete kit. We also supply air tools, impact guns, sanders, spray equipment, air fittings, compressors, jacks, engine cranes, car rotisseries and the list goes on. Just landed a new huge range of air tools for all of your panel needs. So for all your tool requirements give me a call and mention this site to receive a discount on your purchase.

I was just wondering if any one has grafted the diff, front and disc rear calipers from a 2002 ss vy commodore. Into a 76 260z. If they have any info and or pictures would be very appreciated. I am doing the LS1 conversion and have spent the past 14 months cutting rust out of the car. The drive train is ready to rock. A full ground up build. Lots of fun.

GOT A T56

I am looking 4 about $3500 4 the lot. will consider selling parts individually.

thanks 4 the offer of the box will keep in mind I have a lead on about 4 t56 at the moment.Do it once, hopefully. cheers

Thanks 4 the handy info guys. I am still on the prow 4 a t56 box. Love to here from u if u know any one wanting to sell one.

Still looking 4 a 6 speed box to suit the ls1. But I am wondering if the original 5 speed z box will take the hp that the ls1 will put out. It seems to take the 180-200hp from the p76 but will it survive the 300-400hp from a ls1. I have looked every where and I cannot find max hp ratings 4 the 5 speed. I would appreciate any feed back. regards red76z

do u think the welder who made the engine mount could make another

Hobart would love to catch up and have a chat about the mods and pick your brain 4 ideas. regards Scott

This is just what I am looking 4 a bit of how to knowledge and places to find the stuff. Will keep u up to date on project. I can see it is going to be plenty of time and fun. My first build was when i was a teen and this will be my midlife crises build.

Hi I have had my 260z 4 17 years now with a p76 v8 under the hood and now i need to take the next step and re power it with a ls1 Any info on mods would be most appreciated in regards to brakes,suspension,diff as I am currently running all standard bits behind the p76.
