It seems collecting cars/motorbikes is a disease for some people and they just cannot stop. Is it a Datsun 240/260Z at 11' 35" ?

On eBay as well : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-240Z-S30-Right-Side-Door-Mirror-Reproduction-70-To-1973-Years/153054779133?hash=item23a2c696fd:g:rPYAAOSweEFbCevK

Interesting to see the inner reinforcing sections.

My son used Prixcars 12 months ago and was happy with their service, go to their website and you should get a price of ~$1,200 for a 280zx move Perth to Brisbane.

Not a Zed but similar rust issues : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1OrLm_hGjQ

This link has info on the free lengths (not for Aus) but as Gilltech mentions only the fronts have different free lengths left to right : https://www.jdmjunkies.ch/wordpress/2017-01-19/240z-the-ultimate-guide-to-factory-suspension-and-options/

Your other ( more expensive) option is to get a kit from carbuilders : http://www.carbuilders.com.au/door-restore-kit

Good to hear, I will PM next time I see something someone wants.

I'm interested in purchasing one of these if you have any?

Pity, at bit overpriced and in WA : https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bunbury/cars-vans-utes/1975-datsun-260z-coupe/1186224303 Given the requirements for asbestos removal/inspection/cleaning, you may find importing complicated.

Hi Gav, What electronic ignition are you using?

Seems mine are quite corroded at the ends (in the engine bay) so looking to see if anyone has one of these they are willing to sell that is in good condition :

Also managed to get some of the brake hoses off, again being the originals, everything is really seized up tight and the rear brake hoses are very difficult to get off. Managed to get one off but the other is stuck tight where it joins the fixed line on the car body - Blaster penetrant spray, heat and eventually even resorting to Vicegrips has failed to move it! Unfortunately the replacement hoses have 17mm fittings and not the 19mm ones that sit in and are held by the bracket on the body.

Hi Gilltech, I am in the process of getting replacements as the non braided ones I bought locally turned out to have the 17mm fittings (see below), maybe worthwhile posting the ebay source. I will also look for a local supplier (Enzed) to ensure ADR compliance - are your eBay ones ADR stamped /compliant?

Well finally managed to get the rear brake drums off (using the PB Blaster penetrant spray), evidently this was the first time in 44 years they have been off and looks like it was just in time as the original brake shoes were almost gone on the passenger side with more pad remaining on the drivers side. Drums looked OK and well withing the max diameter spec. So what is the best way to "get" new rear brake shoes?? - originals rebonded or replacements via the internet?? Also sprayed the inside of the doors with the Eastwood internal frame coating, as well as further coatings on internal areas of the bodywork with seams - including the rear hatch. Then tried to replace the rear hatch seal with one from rarespares, what a waste of time, just looking at the profile showed it was going to be a longshot that it would be adequate not even taking into account the rubber they use is too "hard" (assuming I was sent the correct seal as the packet had been opened prior to posting to me?) and would not splay out at the bottom corners. As has been previously mentioned on another build thread, the option of using a door seal for the inner rear hatch seal is worth considering, either one from Clark rubber (31729) or getting the Kia substitute. I tried sections of each and they each seem OK the downside being they may fill the "gutter" area more than the OEM seal so not sure about water drainage.

Maybe this will do? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-240z-Orange-Air-Cleaner-Rubber-Inside-Gasket/332673011761?hash=item4d74db5031:g:0A0AAOSwl5VbE3NE

All of the porsches in the tour have the official rally safe units fitted, this gives all cars following a visual warning on the rally safe unit clearly indicating there is a car stopped/crashed on the course and the distance from their car (that counts down as they approach the car). The warning board at the start also indicates the point on the stage where there is a hazard such as a crashed car.

According to one of the Targa officials the accident was a roll over.

The porsche had crashed out of the tour section of the Targa that proceeds the competitors and the 240Z crashed off at the same point and slammed into the back of the porsche. As the porsche was now no longer part of the rally he was able to claim on his insurance policy for the damage caused by the 240Z. The insurance company then went after the 240Z owners to try and recover the porsche repair costs. This year there were two 240Zs in the competition, another in the classique section and I saw a blue one parked up near Burnie with some spectators. Here are some pics of the two competition cars in Hobart :

Some early 260z models also had the straight down bolts.
