    Gearknob Inserts

    Hi I justed wanted to acknowledge the generosity of David (Enzo) in donating this first batch to fellow forum members. This type of completely selfless behaviour is all to rare in todays modern world, but thankfully is still present among the members of this forum. Feelng good about the world. PB
  2. Hi The purists will tell you that you should stick with the original colour, trim and spec. If you look other collectable classics originality certainly helps the value, especially in a rare or unique car. What is a rare or unique Z in Aus ? That is good a question, maybe early girls. Having said that, it is YOUR car so have it the way you want it. Life is to short to drive a car that is someone else's idea of perfect.. Just my two cents worth. Cheers PB
  3. Great result, and in 5 days - Someone will be very happy
  4. Never really got the Series 4 RX-7. The Series 2 was my first exposure to fast Japanese cars that also handled. They just seemed to loose the edge with the S4 - they got it back with the S5.
  5. Hi Mick Me bad - a +30 rim would be touch and go. I am pretty sure the standard offset is +3 on a six inch rim. Given that an 8" inch rim at 0 zero clears and that would make a 6 inch at +30 8mm closer than the 8"rim it would be close, the diffence in tyre thickness could be enough to make it work. Would be easier to get rim off a parted out Z or ZX. Warren at allZparts would have one Cheers PB
  6. Could one say Green with envy ? Yeah bad pun, but couldn't resist
  7. Hi Andy Maybe these, complete with tyres and in Penrith. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-NISSAN-14-x-5-5-STEEL-WHEELS-4x114-3-R31-SKYLINE-PINTARA-RB30-/282290193597?hash=item41b9ce84bd:g:MTEAAOSw4GVYT~oy Cheers PB
  8. It is great that Maria is so supportive of your hobby, or should we say obsession - as previously mentioned, she is a keeper.Anita (my better half) has also been incredibly supportive of my many crazy automotive antics over the past 25 years and her support is large part of why I have my toys.
  9. Hi Mate Looks like a great starting point, in surprising good shape for an early girl. Looking forward to eventually seeing it for real. Cheers PB
  10. Yep, it is a dealer and he is just up the road from Gav's mate Phil Lee. Heartbeat Cars www.heartbeatcars.com.au He also has that really tidy 1600 SSS Coupe for $45K
  11. Hi That car is at the Gosford car museum, pretty sure it was subject of discussion on here a little while back. Cheers PB
  12. Hi Mate Can't really be sure without having the car in front of me but, No power at the dimmer switch is where I would start. Maybe even hotwire it and see if the guages light up. No tacho - The original internals of the tacho wdon't work with modern ECU signals, They can be modded to pick up the pulse from the RB ECU. High beam and Brake light - are they coming on at 100% or somewhat dim, if dim possibly a bad earth. Sounds like someone has had a lot of fun with wiring around your dashboard. Cheers PB
  13. Hi Simon Maybe consider coming to the wrecking day, get some parts and meet some of the Victorian members. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/15875-260z-wrecking-day-sunday-2nd-april-2017/ Cheers PB
  14. That wheel looks fantastic. I would never have expected that style to look so darn good. Cheers PB
  15. Looks very nice, $45K seems like a lot of coin but nothing surprises me anymore. Cheers
  16. Hi Have a look at this thread re larger AFM's for Bosch L-Jetronic http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/6951-larger-afm-for-a-280zx/ Cheers PB
  17. Hi Dave When I fitted the Compe to my Bus I too had clearence issues, but not quite as bad as in your photos. Maybe yours has been bent forward to suit an 80's deep dish steering wheel I very carefully (and nervously) bent mine back about an inch or so. Cheers PB
  18. Agree very impressive and also rather surprising. I was expecting it drink 20-25L /100 when towing.
  19. Hi Mate Maybe take the whole lot to an old school Engineering Shop or Fitter amd Turner and see if they can turn one up for you. I know a guy in Sydney who could do it, but that won't help you too much. Cheers PB
  20. With those specs you would be able to move a house.How does it go on fuel when not towing ?
  21. What amazes me is that these scammers persist, does that mean that some poor folk are get suckered ?

    My L24 Build

    Hi Lurch With the pricing I assume you will be quoting, full retail off the street walkin prices for both parts and labour (including your own labour) ? Cheers PB
  23. A PMC long motor like that for $5,200 represents great value. All those who have been looking for, or talking about building a solid motor here is your chance.
  24. Haha, I will be having a few beers with Lurch in a week or two, maybe I can get some tips from him. Seriously though, I know that Gav puts in a huge amount of time and effort into making sure this forum delivers us all a first rate experience. I have taken a great deal from this forum and it's members over the last few years and want to give some back, so to speak, by assisting in with the day to day operational side side of things. Cheers PB
