Hi Guys I have two unused (still in box) K&N filters. Had them sent over from US however they have backing plate for Hitachi's so I can't use them (have British SU). They are the larger pod (K&N model 56-1430) $ 170 for the two (plus postage if you can't pick up) - I was quoted over $300 for the two from Super cheap and the like. Got a Hitachi set up? Grab yourself a bargain and some serious filters! Peter

cheers Gareth Thanks for the info Peter

Hi Guys I have a 260Z 2+2 (1974) with SU carbies. Engine is stock. I have a couple of K&N filters I am about to install and want to get the most out of the carbies by selecting a needle size on the rich side. Any suggestions? cheers Peter

Cheers Gilltech From what I am gathering there is a long and short cap (shallow). From the sound of it the metal shallower caps seem the way to go. I am trying to track down a pic or two so that I have a better idea of what I am looking for. Let me know if you can help.

Hi Guys, If possible, could someone kindly confirm (with pic would be great) the centre cap that belongs on the 260Z alloys pictured in the following link http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:tkqDTzN1oNunqM:http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e219/rogerlomman/DSC06606.jpg&t=1 I have been looking at caps and am now well confused as to what cap goes where (280ZX cap I have been told fits the 260Z alloys??). Centres on 260Z alloys measure at 2.64 inches (to outside). many thanks

Thanks Dat2kman Any help would be much appreciated! Peter

Hi guys does anyone have a set of centre caps (260Z) they are happy to part with? for reference alloys in questions are ones pictured in the link below http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Datsun260Z-2%2B2.jpg cheers

Thanks drifter However I managed to pick up a complete system from wreckers in not too shabby condition cheers mate

Thanks very much guys Anything to shorten my visit to vic roads is good to say the least thanks again gilltech, gareth and galderdi

Hi guys, I have to go an meet the good people at vicroads to complete my reg. transfer. I have an inspection of vehicle id numbers. Could someone confirm the location of Chassis number and Engine number stamps - on a 74 260 2+2 regards Peter

260DET thanks for your reply exactly. That is what I am looking for (freshly removed/complete) to make the transition as smooth/original as possible. Definitely up to paying something reasonable for such a system. cheers

Hi Guys looking to fit an original Air con system into the 260Z - the "fun" from last summer still lingers! I would like to get my hands on a complete original system form a member or wrecker and tweak it a little. If anyone is willing to part with one and sell, it would be much appreciated. regards Peter

Thanks Maddos and Lynton - so nice to feel welcome

Hey Fuzzybear Thanks for the welcome. Charger is resto project. Vj, A54 265 5 speed in sunfire yellow. Original everything. Will try and dig up a photo before she was pulled apart and upload it. cheers

Lurch, Maygz, Zedman and Spamaster cheers your warm welcomes and cheeky replies hit the spot Whittie - my attempts to lift your car were thwarted due to unforeseen difficulties. I decided to instead purchase a car from a lovely young lady called Lisa. PZG - I was beginning to worry that my illness had progressed faster than I thought when I considered the two cars side by side. It comforts me to know I will not be in a white walled facility alone. Drifta I have had a go at uploading a pic to my album and attaching it to this message...with a bit of luck you should be able to take a look cheers all

G’day forum My name is Peter. I started having an affair with a 260Z about two weeks ago. Was love at first sight really, (if anyone knows the 265 charger I have in the shed- mums the word) Things have gone well since and she is on a truck on her way over from Perth. With a bit of luck I will pick her up from the depot with a box of roses. Anyhow, looking forward to a few laughs and getting to know some of the forum members. The lovely family I purchased the car from said Datsun lovers tend to be an eccentric bunch (home at last) Shake and bake Peter Melbourne
