Absolutely, but it does look the goods

This is making me wonder if later model ignition barrels can be fitted to S30's In the 90's my Grandparents had a Pulsar and it only had the key. anyone ever tried something similar ?

$12K seems like a lot of coin for what is described as a "Body", has a sunroof and you would guess it is LHD.

Gidday The diagrams I have don't show anything else in that area Good luck in sprting it out. Cheers PB

Yeah, agree that is always a risk. Doesn't seem all that long ago, makes you wonder what the upper end of the market is ?

A bit of detail from the wiring diagram. The only White / Red wire in that area on the diagram is the Handbrake switch. Maybe the Aus spec diagram can't help.

Gidday From the Aus spec S130 Manual. These them ? If yes will post up wiring diagrams. Cheers

LCR - where Magic Happens

Couldn't agree more !!

The listing says "Worst of the rust is in the pictures" said no Z owner ever. It is always the unseen that is killer

Nice work, they certainly came up well

Gidday 13.5 amps is beyond what a standard domestic powerpoint can safely deliver, does it have a 15amp plug ? Just a thought. Cheers PB

And a photo.

Probably won't be long until the other states follow the lead set by trendy Victorians, but in NSW they will undoubtedly cost a fortune

Shame we don't get them in NSW But for the victorians https://www.vplates.com.au/japanese

Just been past AllZParts, place is deserted and doesn't look like anyone has been there in ages. Ther is a bonnet and seat leaning against the outside wall and they were in exactly the same spot 6 months ago. I seem recall hearing that Warren was not in the best of health and was actually trying to sell the business ?

Hi, Definitely check the clutch release, but if you can hear bearings rumbling probably time for a rebuild. I am pretty sure a thread exists on identifying gearboxes somewhere on here. Cheers PB

Hi Warren's is just around the corner from my place. I drive past there every few weeks, never seen any sign of life, but looking through the window it would appear that there is still stock in warehouse. Will drop past again tomorrow Cheers PB

I worked as a Toyota Parts Interpreter for a number of years in the 90's and even then cars from the 70's presented challenges, consider this - The dealer needs the reference material and it takes up valuable space (see image) - The staff need to know how to use the older reference material. These days you just enter the VIN # and the EPC removes all but the correct parts. The EPC also handles supersessions. - A lot of interpreting for older cars requires knowledge only gained from years of experience. - It also takes a lot more time than interpreting mordern parts. So, the dealer needs to have an "Old School" interpreter and give him / her the freedom to invest time in chasing old parts for a small return on that time. Given that Z's disapeared out of showrooms 35 years ago and normally 7 years after that parts demand dries up. You would be looking for an interpreter with at least 30 years experience. You are more likely to find all of the above in a country dealership. So Yes, Trevor is a rare, valuable and unfortunately disappearing breed of Parts Guy Cheers PB

Maybe done to give the impression that it had a Turbo ? I remember that type of caper going on in the late 80's

Hi Dave That looks pretty darn good, and for only $55 - sensational result

Maybe I am slightly OCD, but I drain the tank on mine at the end of the days work. Seriously though if the water is rusty, it is indeed a bad and potentially dangerous sign.

I agree with the previous comments re condition. Two things I do when buying stuff second hand. Look at the condition and quality of other stuff in the shed etc. Ask why is it for sale ? Don't forget to get a water trap for your airlines

I can relate to that !!
