  1. So I've been pretty busy with study and have only achieved a small amount with the car however this includes putting on my 17x7.5 +4 Rota RBR's I probably would have gone with 16" for the added sidewall flex however I got a fantastic deal thanks to dat240z who was able to get them down from Canberra with some family! I've also decided what I'm going to do with the vinyl wrap that you can see in the photos. I'm really happy with how the car is coming along and getting these new wheels has really changed the look of the car completely. **Photos Coming when I can finally upload again**
  2. No time to work on the Zed, can't wait until exams are over!!

  3. Completely forgot about the carb photos! Also, I wouldn't worry too much about that rust at the top of the hatch... But seriously, I would be sanding all of that back and dealing with it now before it gets this bad. I still need a short term solution for my issue as I don't have the resources to take to roof off etc. at the moment. I've just used rust converter where I can.
  4. I'll be there, not sure if the zed will be registered by then but I will be there!
  5. I would honestly love a convertible S30, I know it isn't original and I would probably end up restoring it but hey, there's no rush to put a top on
  6. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/8003-1971-datsun-240z-convertible-for-sale-registered-until-feb-2012/ Is this the same car?
  7. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/lynbrook/cars-vans-utes/1973-datsun-240z-coupe/1091157735 Full race-car status!
  8. Hmm, if I had plenty of money I would love to get this 240, after all I can't just have one purple zed. Nah but the price has been dropped to $11,500
  9. I have the exact same carbs ( I think, I'll get some photos later or tomorrow)
  10. Hi all, so I'm about to purchase some new wheels! but before I fully go through with it I want to be 100% sure that they will fit correctly, I've been searching all over and I can't find any examples of someone using this setup on a 260z 2+2 My setup is: 260z 2+2 Stock everything. The wheels I'm thinking about getting are Rota RBR 17x7.5 with a +4 offset The tires that are currently on the wheels (which I hope to use) are 45/235/17 on the back and 40/215/17 for the front. I believe that these wheels should fit without any scrubbing but I want to be sure. Thanks!
  11. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/5294-su-air-cleaners-for-a-ratsun-price/ Not sure how I feel about this but I guess it would work?
  12. Looking great, that hatch slam panel is mint! Those air filters look great and I was wondering if you have any info on them. I'm after some new ones for my L28 which has the exact same (as far as I can tell) carbies on it.
  13. Sorry to dig up this oldish thread but I have to know, did you convince her to get that Celica
  14. I have a dealership service manual that I think would have the screw sizes, I'll grab it out of the car tomorrow and see if it contains anything helpful
  15. HAHA! I think I found it, It had slipped down under the drivers seat. Assuming this is it? I will put it all back together later today finally! Thanks!
  16. Hi all, I have a 78' 2+2 and I removed the centre console about a month ago for repairs. With that I also removed the ashtray that sits in the back of the centre console and I can't work out how to put it back in! I feel like it's meant to clip in but I just can't seem to see how the chrome trim would sit in there properly. Anyone got any ideas?
  17. So the last week has been pretty productive I suppose, The rear hatch has been wrapped along with the roof, a deposit for some new wheels and tires has been put down and now all I need to do is wait Allot more photos will be posted on Saturday
  18. Did I miss something here other then this guy being sketchy as?
  19. I'll be there with my zed registered or not
  20. How much were you wanting for that centre console?

    The earliest known owner to me was a girl called "Nadz" (I believe) I only know this because of a few CD's with this name on it. When I purchased the car the Odo was around 19,000 (lol) however whoever wound back the odo didn't really do a good job as there was an oil service sticker saying that the next service was due at 86640 with the date of 27/06/09 she also had it painted a pinky purple colour. The next owner which was the one I purchased it off was by the name of Paul and I can supply contact details if necessary. He bought the car in 2011 when it was last registered on 09/09/2011 where it was stored as an investment until 2015 when I (Andrew Langford) purchased it. The Nissan plate was painted over however I removed the paint from it and for some reason it doesn't say the original engine number. The car is now in the process of being put back on the road. The top rear hatch sill has some serious rust issues which have been temporarily fixed (using a rust converter and primer) the car is currently being prepped for a matte grey vinyl wrap which may damage the paint underneath when removed. To my knowledge the car has never been in an accident except for a slight ding to the drivers side dog leg (assumed to be because someone drove the car into a small boulder) And the car has never been reported as stolen. The last known numberplates were SMYLE which were owned by "Nadz" - The interior colour could have been a tan colour however it is currently black and needs further investigation. - Was de-badged at time of purple paintjob - The car runs and drives fine, just needs new tires and rear drums + rust in floorpan and firewall fixed for RWC I will be occasionally updating this if the car gets a new engine, paintjob, is in an accident or any other notable points.
  22. Great work so far, Now I know the story behind the smiling blue face that I see everywhere haha. Seems a bit of a shame to scrap a S130, be nice to flog it off and let the bloke who bought it chuck some filthy v8 in there and turn it into a drift pig
  23. So I'm in the market for some fender mirrors and I was having a little look on Ebay and found this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CHROME-NEW-FENDER-MIRROR-LH-RH-FIT-DATSUN-NISSAN-S30-240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-/311423673998?fits=Model%3A260+Z&hash=item48824c268e Which I thought looked like the mirrors pictured above I'm getting increasingly interested in just getting standard door mirrors, any suggestions for some nice chrome ones?
  24. Also, I forgot to mention in the previous post. Last weekend I chucked in another rocker cover gasket and now NO OIL LEAKS! It's great and only cost like 30 bucks!
  25. New hood ornament?
