  1. Have to say I'm super impressed with how easily the new interface handles attachments. Gifs and videos are painless. @gav240z you're currently hosting this yourself?. As in, on your own server?
  2. No trouble. I spent a bit of time playing around with the activity stream, after you mentioned it earlier. A rather powerful feature. I've got an Huawei phone, so the screen recorder is part of its OS. Never used any others to be honest.
  3. Unread topics setup This is for anyone like myself who is looking to have the unread section operate as it use to. You need to create a custom activity stream. This approach will take you to the first unread reply. Not the last or the beginning of the topic. Hope someone finds this useful. Cheers, Rob SVID_20180612_175140.mp4
  4. For those like myself, who don't always have a lot of spare cash, but want to make donations. I highly recommend setting up a regular payment process. Even I don't miss a few dollars a month. I'd only waste it on a Coffee anyway
  5. Ahhh , the symbol left of the search icon. Just pressed it thinking, What's this do? .. Lol
  6. Ahhh, I see....Cheers Also like the way it saves your replies. You can start typing something, back out of topic, then return and it's all there... Nice.
  7. Really liking the new format Gav, but I've noticed something odd regarding new content for existing threads. Hope this makes sense, but instead of taking me to the newest ( unread ) content of a thread, I simply end up at the beginning of each thread. Having to navigate manually to the last page. Am I doing something wrong?. Using android mobile. I fully appreciate/understand the time and effort required. Cheers, Rob
  8. Exactly. Plus there's also the option of getting the vehicle transported.
  9. True , 2 pac is dead.. Snoop is the new acrylic...
  10. Yea, we know how much you hate 2 pac, Richard.... Lol Hey Cmac, My 2c on this subject would be... If I was looking for a 240z /260z on that budget, I'd concentrate on the body. Look for evidence of rust repair / restoration work, preferably with a quality respray. IMHO mechanical work is often far easier to perform, and often a lot cheaper and less time consuming. Obviously excluding a ground up mechanical rebuild. I say this as someone who has no fabrication / body work skills. But feels comfortable tackling mechanical tasks. Cheers, Rob
  11. Absolutely.. a time before Insurance Companies, Lawyers and the Nanny State
  12. Honestly, I just noticed this in the glove box of my 260z. Imagine the uproar if that was in a new car ( referring to the bottom left speed indicator)... Lol
  13. Yea, those American muscle car / nascar tyres...something about them that appeals to the inner teenager in me... Lol.
  14. "No, officer, I'm fine. Just looking for spare parts for my Datsun" I have a vision of Gav walking the streets, peering in bins... Lol
  15. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173340106549 Back for another try..
  16. *** Big Smile Reading This *** Yep, well that's why I try and drive mine every day. Yea, sure she's only a 2+2 and I'm only 30k+ in so far, and I'll probably be in 60k+ by the end. Still going to drive it every day. I've owned a number of cars over the years, including a new Zed. But nothing can beat the smell, the sound, the interior view, or the feel of these cars. Puts a huge smile on my face every time I drive it... Which is every day Cheers, Rob The moral of the story.... Drive your bloody cars.. NO POINT OWNING THEM OTHERWISE...
  17. I spent far too much time staring, at the now, rusty throttle balance bar supplied with my HS6 conversion kit. Sorry, this is just a rant post, but why supply a mild steel rod with a $1000 conversion kit? The second rod in the picture is a $10 Stainless steel piece I bought of ebay. Which they didn't supply for the chokes.... Annoyed I'll have to remove the carbs, and reset all the linkages. Bloody first world problems.... Lol
  18. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282980926327 260z 2 seater
  19. Good luck Cruzer. Hope you get an answer. I've tried on YouTube and Instagram. Everybody spam their social media sites with the same question...force a response... Lol
  20. .
  21. Lol. That's nearly exactly what the misses said. She pointed out the difference between the two drivers. She owns a 4 door XB. She's not a fan of their conclusion.
  22. A discussion Gav is having, about original tyres, reminded me of an old Sports Car World magazine I have. It contains a showdown between the Ford XB Coupe and the 260z 2+2. Looking at it this afternoon I discovered this gem. ( See the caption under the picture )
  23. Yea, completely wrong mirror shape, IMHO. Prefer round. Not a fan of smooth rear ends though... well not on zeds anyway

    What where the original speaker mounting positions? . Mine are mounted behind the seats, in the side panels. Of course, I assume the same place the current ones are mounted, otherwise I'd have holes elsewhere. Assuming my interior is original.
