Hi im selling carbon fibre wheel arch flares. i purchased these from topstage motorsports 3 months ago. i am selling due to one of the flares had a small 1cm crack in them on delivery and Topstage Composites did not want to offer a replacement. they are going cheap as the quality isn't great. never used just put aside to re sell. i paid $460.00 plus shipping im selling for $200.00 0411721142 charles

might be a silly question but are they adr approved?? thanks.

Hi Im selling My Rotisserie that i have used for my Datsun 260z project. works great solidly built semi adjustable can be made to suit any car with some slight changes (length/width) $500.00 neg it cost me that in steel. it was only made 6 months ago. 0411721142 charles.

1975 260z 2 seater i was going to try and make some up if i cannot find any i would be very keen to come grab them if they are available.

Hi Guys! chasing a left and right door handle rods this is the rod which is connected to the door handle on the inside of the door. let me know if anyone knows where i can get these.

The front guards where much easier!! job done!

Now i gotta hit the inside skin out to be able to weld together i put a few relief cuts in them to make it easier. and making sure not to buckle the outer skin in. got some riv nuts and it all looks good!!

Now its time to get these flares and install them i have been freaking out about cutting into these perfect guards. sooo after a lot of research and flicking through various threads and watching youtube i decided to get it happening. i ordered carbon fibre flares from topstage motorsports and i must admit the service wasnt too flash it took nearly 6 weeks to get them and when they arrived they had cracks in them and where fairly scratched so i couldnt use them. i tried to get them returned and new ones sent but apparently it wasnt possible.not too happy bout that. i got some fibreglass flares off ebay and im good to go. ill just paint them a carbon colour. first step was marking them out taping the on.... staring at them for ages.... slightly adjusting checking my measurements countless times... start cutting!!!

I have heaps more stuff to put up on this thread but dont want to over do it tonight i have guards cut out for flares with heaps of pics and suspension re done etc etc !!! ill chuck it all up soon!

The day it Went to media blasting and... when it got back what a difference!!!! im getting more and more excited!!!! loving the shape of this car so much

Dam battery tray!!

Some more pics !!

So its been a while since i have updated my build because it has been crazy busy at work, and by the time i get to the Z i am pretty well stuffed and dont have energy to update my thread.... But i have done heaps of things to the car. after stripping it down to the shell i decided to get it blasted because i am lazzzyyyyy!!! i had the car media blasted (glass bead) it was relatively cheap and got the car all prepped for the task of rust fixing!!!!! i mean i went over all the visible signs of rust before it was blasted. cut it all out and re welded new pieces in. i am no welder or rust repairer in fact only just learn't how to use a Mig welder on the rotisserie . here are a few pics of the car so far. don't judge to harshly on my repair work im learning !!!!

Hey Peter, I spose the 2 year goal is a very rough estimate,i would like the car running put it that way, these soughts of builds never end...... always wanting more and more Im on the northside of Brisbane Bellmere. i got some photos of my progress in the last few weeks. i got the car stripped down and have had every nut and bolt put in a container marked where it came from!!! easy to pull apart. i imagine difficult to put back together!!! If i am to take this seriously i decided to get some steel and make a BASIC rotisserie. It worked well and now i can start to attack the rust in this beast!! more photos to come!!

Hey Zedman, Im not sure really i have seen a few builds with the 26 motor and i have just decided thats the way im heading,i got the mounts so i suppose its locked in! i have changed my mind from the LS1 which was my first idea...!! still trying to work out this forum (uploading photos) there will be plenty of them!!

I was so happy to see this car!!!

Hey guys, i got the bug when i caught up with some family for a wedding and my uncle started showing me this car he bought and fixed up. it was a early 240z. it all started from there, non stop researching and scanning all soughts of sites to find the dream project car. one night i was flicking through carsales and a 1975 Datsun 260z 2 seater popped up for sale in Melbourne i couldn't call him quick enough and i laid down a deposit and shipped it up to Brisbane Queensland. So the project begins.... plans for the car. i want to spend a lot of time getting this thing in perfect condition so i have planned to strip it down put it on a rotisserie cut out rust and rebuild. i am going to swap the old L26 and replace with a RB 26dett. do all the necessary upgrades: suspension brakes diff? fuel.... the list goes on...... and all the other fun stuff that goes with it. so i am writing up this post for information and heaps of helpful knowledge which is needed for a rookie like me. i am a builder so i am pretty handy, but this car stuff is a whole different ball game. here are a few pics of my progress so far. i have a 2 year goal so kick me in the ass if i start getting slack!!! i will update as quick as the cashflow allows. its looking pretty healthy at the moment soooo they should be kinda regular.

Hey guys i am now a proud owner of a 1975 datsun 260z 2 seat and have started the restoration i will be taking many photos of the project i am planning to put a ls1 motor in this beauty and am lucky enough to have gotten a car which has very minimul rust!!!!!!! i will be asking heaps of questions and my first of many is..... anyone know of a good engineer local to brisbane who would be suited to this sought of project!!!! im super excited and cant wait to get some photos up!!!
