  1. The balljoint that connects the throttle cable to the rail on my triple dellortos keeps falling off. Luckly it's only come off in low traffic areas, but i dont want it to fall off in the city or something. The ball joint is made of plastic. Anyone had this before?
  2. Turns out all i need is the ignition switch. Anyone have one?
  3. Hi all, Looking for a key barrel with the steering lock bit and the ignition switch. Can pick up from sydney this week and pick up brisbane/gold/sunshine coast next week
  4. The back part im guessing. The fuel pump only turns on in the ignition position. When i let go of the key it turns off
  5. Hi fellas, During a drive from the sunshine coast to sydney my ignition barrel failed. I cut the wires and im now hotwiring to drive the car. What should i replace it with? Find a replacement barrel? Go with a button? Proximity ignition? Its for a 260z btw, and im in Sydney all week if any locals have an idea.. oh and i want to get an alarm and central locking fitted. Any locals know a good place? Cheers
  6. This is what im after
  7. My front left fell off and I can't find it. The right one is foggy. Anyone have a pair?
  8. Grabbed a couple of bottles myself. Thanks mate!
  9. Can't find a thread for car porn. I'll start with my 260
  10. Cheers! I just picked one up from repco. Going to be a pain to get the old joint out, but I can think of worse ways to spend a sunday afternoon. Thanks guys!
  11. Uni joint. My bad
  12. It's a 1978 260z btw
  13. Hi everyone, I have been a long time stalker and drooler on this forum. I recently found the Z of my dreams and drove it half way across Australia to it's new home. I am located in Warwick QLD if any members are close. I'm sure I'm going to need all sorts of advice to keep my beast rolling. Thank you zzzzed for pointing me in the right direction.
  14. I'm having a bad Z day. My CV joints on my rear left snapped off, I thought "ill just jump on ebay and grab a couple of driveshafts and be back on the road next week!" No such luck. I knew finding parts for my classic investment would be hard, but I didn't think it would be this hard. I need advice, is there a conversion I can do from a 300zx or something? How hard would it be for a non mechanical person to do? (Me) any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
  15. Hey guys, thank you for all the advice, I have alot of reading to do. I'm in Warwick qld btw Scooter. Cheers

    CV joints

    Gave my 260z a little bit too much and broke a CV joint. Anyone have a spare lying around?
  18. I wouldn't mind an air box, but that looks sooooo ugly. I would have to sand it back and get it chromed. To expensive of an undertaking sorry mate
  19. Hi everyone, i'm looking for some air filters that will fit my Dellorto 40s. Show me what you got. Cheers
  20. Hi everyone, how do you go about tuning these things? I checked my plugs and the 2 middle ones are black as black can be. My middle carbie is running rich. Every call to my local mechanics goes like "hi do you tune carbies?, yes we do. Do you tune triples? No sorry only singles" . I want to learn to do it myself. What do I need?
  21. Thanks guys, ill change the filters and have a drive up the local big ass hill. Paper filter boxes, not socks. Cheers
  22. Recently purchased my dream z. It came with trumpets on the carbs. I had a long 25 hour drive ahead of me so I put air filters on. The car loses power uphill (struggles to go 100) then it wont get the power back until I turn the car off and on again. I drove the car with the trumpets for abit but didn't go up any hills. Think they need to be tuned in with the new filters? Triple dellorto 40s btw. Cheers
  23. Thank you for the advice everyone, REALLY helpful. I'm open to sales if you guys want to sell. I'm traveling to Sydney this week, would love to drive a Z back.
  24. Hi everyone, the 260Z has been my dream car, and now 1 has popped up for sale near me. I'm going to look at it (cash in pocket). What should I look for? Questions to ask? and what price should I ask (listing below) http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/toowoomba-4350/cars-vans-utes/1975-datsun-260z/1073747234
