He did a fantastic job and is a great guy to boot. If anyone is looking for any general engineering work I would recomend him. Cheers PB

Hi Andy Dry is pretty good, but the problem with it is that wont seep into the centre of the pivot points. I find a very small amount of oil placed so it can run into the centre of the pivots works well. Don't forget that you will need to work it into the pivots. If that doesn't work try stripping them down, cleaning all the crap out then lightly lubricating upon assembly. Cheers PB

I am sure there was a thread about this exact issue a while back, but I can't find it now. However, this may be worth a read, not exactly your problem but.......... http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,7997.0.html

Hi Gav Amazing that you have 2 cars and they have each others Carbies, what are the chances of that ? Time to buy a lottery ticket. Cheers PB

As mentioned in another thread. Guessing something in Sylvania ? Love a mystery ???? Have placed it in diary.

Very well said Mike especially the follow text I recently purchased a restored pre war car that the previous owner spent 10 years and countless $$ restoring. For the price I paid you would hardly cover just the mechanical restoration costs. The guy who restored the car, did it because he had always wanted one, then drove it occasionaly for the next 20 years. Why did he sell it, because he is now in his 80's and doesn't use it anymore. My point (the same as Mikes) - people do this because they have a passion for a particular car with scant regard for the "investment" potential. Cheers PB

Shiny red bus for $16K http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Datsun-260Z-1977/SSE-AD-3211952

Welcome and good luck with the search for a Z. It is better than my Swedish

So, So many choices for around 10K IMHO needs to have Airbags Abs Stability control Not too much power Personally I would go with mid size ala 380, Camry or the Volvo. Now the tricky part A certain amount of cool factor. Maybe a late model Lancer sedan - has a similar body to the EVO 7,8 & 9

Very cool photo's indeed

Thanks Mike, But I am not sure I would call my standing behind the BBQ holding a stubbie work

I will give a call on Wednesday. Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it. Cheers PB

Good luck with the sale. Looks like great value and with the number of folks chasing tidy 2 seaters of recent should sell very quickly Cheers PB

Gidday I am currently doing a front end rebuild on an old 40's Chev and am in need of a machine shop to press and ream some brass King Pin bushes for me. Can anyone recomend a workshop in Sydney ? Cheers PB

Tried Flebay ? Searching by PCD not Z car ?

It was indeed a great day. Really enjoyed the Pork Belly, thanks Andy & Kelly. Elizabeth loved going for a ride in a Z, thanks to Mike (dad also enjoyed it )

Rather poor iPhone photo (forgot to make my camera)

Not good news , take care mate. Cheers PB

Yep, albeit briefly, awesome car. Will download and post a very average pic tonight.

I have steel cutlery so don't worry about knifes & forks

I will also be bringing a BBQ and BBQ tools. See you all at 11:30 Cheers PB

Ballarat ain't that far out, and as an added bonus you would get the chance to have a beer with Scoota

When I needed a thread repair on the old XY 4X4 this is exactly what was used. Very happy with the results. I have the number of a mobile guy in Sydney's north who uses them if anyone needs it. Cheers PB
