I have ordered the mechanical one...will update on how it goes!

Has anyone fitted a G645A mechanical pump to their Z? If so what is/was it like? I am considering a mechanical pump and the Goss version is available locally. Thanks

Are these fuel tanks interchangeable or are they completely different? I am considering putting 240z tank into my 260z while I restore the original tank. Just wondering if this is possible.

Mine is on its last legs and I was hoping to pick up a decent second hand one, rather than recondition. Anyone have a spare or know where to find one? Thanks

These came with my Z, but I am not really using them. If anyone is interested make me an offer or I might put them on ebay. I will put some photos up soon too.

After reading a lot about all of the different wheels I bought a new set of the Rota RB 16 x 7". I got a sweet deal from the US - about $700 USD delivered to my door. Unwrapped them today

Just bit the bullet and with the strong Aussie $$$ ordered a set of these bad boys! Still keen on Chris240's wheels to have as spares, so if you can get a good freight price from the berra to Melbourne, let me know and I'll transfer you some $$

thanks, had not thought of that! On the issue of bare metal resto or just good body prep and paint work, who are the trusted craftsmen of the Victorian members? After reading the Brown Hornet thread last night, I was wondering who are the master craftsmen down here... My sister has a beautiful 1976 BMW E3 and we had a specialist in Richmond work on that...can't recall his name at the moment, but I was a bit disappointed with some over-run in a part of the clear coat, so I want someone even more of a perfectionist than that!

Yep this was an ebay purchase...risky, but was a good one in the end...better than I expected!

Ok - so as suggested by some, I am starting a build thread for the revival of this beautiful 1977 silver 260z 2+2 that was one of the luckier victims of the recent QLD floods. This is going back to the start, and I will add more soon. Purchased from a very friendly and helpful New Zealander who spent a fair amount of time working on unsticking the handbrake so that the transport could move the car on and off the tray as well as being available to answer my questions on the phone. He owned the car for 10years and kept it very original apart from a quality $2000 custom exhaust system and a now waterlogged pioneer sterero. The dead zed made its way onto the back of the truck and arrived ahead of schedule at my house in Melbourne. The first challenge, was to get the rolling vehicle off the main road and up a steep driveway to my garage and workshop. I tried towing it up (with two drivers) at first with my 1965 Rambler 287 V8, but it struggled with the gradiant. Then I tried to tow it with the HX 308V8 one tonner, but not enough weight over the rear axle meant a lot of wheelspin and not much movement. In the end the Euro Audi allroad was called in and did it with ease. Thus begun the clean up job, washing off the residual gunk from the flood waters and road grime. Photos for part one...attached, assuming they work.

do the 240z carbs need a regulator if the 260z carbs didn't? Or do they have a built in regulator / pressure control?

commiserations

Compressed air did the trick and as suspected the aftermarket pierburg pump is still working. The only issue I have now is I have a lot of fuel feeding to the 240z carbs and the set up I have does not seem to have fuel return connected. Does anyone have pics of how the fuel line setup to the round top carbs should look? Any help would be great! PS I am also selling my 260z carb set up and manifold on ebay - 99c start as they will likely need a rebuild

Chris240 - very keen on those wheels PM sent last night. Just have to work out how to get them from Canberra.... :-\
