Hi Sadly, I’m out. Family friends have arrived from Perth and want to see me. Have a great drive, weather forcast is looking positive. Cheers PB

I used Nigel at Xtreme for the carby on the Chev, highly recomended.

I suspect routing of the pull cable to the lock from the left side would result in a mirror image to the RHD version ?

We all do, but for whatever reason finding the time................

Hi If it helps I could transport it from Tamworth to Sydney, but you would need to be a little patient - June or July. Cheers PB

Hi Mate I have a set of KDRS-09 brand new in box, unopened. I got them for my bus but turned out it already a set installed. Cost $125 + GST - make me an offer if you want ‘em. Cheers PB

“The 2 + 2 is a better long distance tourer than a 2 seater” Said someone on this forum, on this thread actually, and it wasn’t me

When I saw this car on ebay, I did wonder if it would end up in the Gav collection.Sort of a bookend piece, you have one of the first, add one of the last ?? Cheers PB

Hi Thanks for that tip. Would never have thought about speakers from a TV. I think I will grab a couple and have a play with them Cheers PB

Hi That is one of the many cars that “Issac the Woodchipper” has. From time to time he puts one or two on Ebay. Cheers PB

Rare does not always mean better.

Hi My black trims are black on both sides. Normally I would say that them being red on the inner side would suggest that they have painted, but not sure I have ever seen a Z with a red interior. What year is your Z Does the black scratch off ? Cheers PB

Hi Welcome to the forum. Don’t be worried about getting kicked out for going a non L series route, plenty of folk have done that before. The mix of RB and tripples is a little different, but that is a good thing. It is your car - build it your way. In regard to looking for “lots of ideas, advice, opinions and parts” you should get all of the above, especially opinions Cheers PB

Hi I have the Retrosound head unit, it is the mounting of speakers in the 2+2 that presents the challenge. The originals are in the side panels, small and behind the trim. I have been looking for a way to get speakers in the front.

Jensen was pretty good gear back in the 80’s and was out of range with my megre budget back then.

Hi The footwell is an interesting idea, am thinking on the bottom of the glovebox might be a semi concealed location. Cheers PB

Hi Rob The wiring is very simple, and as this unit is round it could be secured in place by two stainless hose clamps. Cheers PB

Hi I have been thinking about the options for getting music in the Bus, but ideally without butchering any of the interior. Yesterday my sister gave me a Bluetooth Speaker (Ultimate Ears Boom 2) about ther size of drink can. https://www.ultimateears.com/en-au/wireless-speakers/boom-2.html I am startting to think that mounting one of these either on the back of the centre console or somewehere in the front combined with my iPhone music library could be a very easy answer. Are any of you folks using this as a solution, and if you are what are your thoughts ? Cheers PB

Hi Mick Have added a poll for preferred date/s For the sake of the numbers can you vote accordingly ? Cheers PB

Hi Thread to gauge interest and organise a Sydney / Canberra meet up. Possible ideas Mid June Bowral or similar area Meet for lunch

That sounds like a good idea.Everyone better make sure the heater in their Z’s are working. Will start a new thread for it. Still need to arrange a coffee or drink as well

They were rather vague about that in the video. Which is quite a change from how the show started. In the early days they would have had great detail about things like that.

Wow, I didn’t think there would any demand for them.Maybe my old, but good, 260 auto box could be more than a boat anchor ? Cheers PB

Hi I am going to postpone this for a weeks chiefly due to the combination of bad weather and low numbers. Cheers PB
