My plate is partially covered by some electrics so I have yet to "see" what the build date is. As mine is RS30 000467 I suspect as similar build month. Will have to check it when back at the "farm".

Got a big garage? Datsun 260Z x 3 Collection Sale : $22,000 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-260Z-x-3-Collection-Sale-Great-Project-Cars-Classic-Cars-Datsun-240Z-/232338725993?hash=item3618779c69:g:c9QAAOSws5pZG8xr Rare Sale - 3 x Datsun 260Z’s collection for sale in one line. I have been offered money as individual sale but I have now decided to sell all together. Successful bidder will have 3 Australian delivered 260Z’s and a good investment to make some good serious money. With 260Zs currently listed online between $35K and $70K, everybody knows by now, these cars are on the rise. With the 240Z hitting record sales, its time for the 260Z to follow and now is the time to buy. Unfortunately, I have 6-7 projects going on at the moment including a few Datsun’s and I just cannot leave these cars lying around. The 260Z’s are one of the easiest and cheapest cars to restore. You can find parts for these anywhere and a lot of new parts are cheaper than second hand parts. I have restored a few and I buy new parts from a few Z mobs. Most parts are cheap and do it yourself. It’s an enjoyable and quick car to restore. The Z store offer 20% discounts if you sign up with a business account. The three cars were once registered and driving. The three cars need restoration. Two cars (240Z) are easy. A bit of surface rust but body mostly straight. Third car (240Z 2+2) needs a bit more attention on body work with rust fixing. All engines are in the cars. All original tags still on cars. The lot come with spare parts as seen in image. Cars are located in Clyde, 2142, Sydney. Please call Endree on 0411 219 139 or text if unavailable as I am currently on a farm and have limited reception. Selling on another platform so will cancel sale if sold.

Very nice, and with air con as well. What muffler(s) did you get on your new exhaust system?

Looks like Rhino tools only have Vessel JIS & blade sets: https://rhinotools.com.au/brand/vessel-screwdrivers/?gclid=CPDo2d7W9dMCFQiAvQodnV0ENQ Your other option maybe eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/p/?iid=301966004040&chn=ps&&&chn=ps

Not that there are many screws in a Zed however I have found that those that are there can be hard to get turning especially with a standard Phillps head screwdriver. I bit the bullet and purchased a set of screwdrivers with some JIS heads from Rhino Tools. I see they currently have some JIS screwdriver sets on sale and using the discount voucher code SAV10 you can get an extra 10% off. https://rhinotools.com.au/product-category/electricians-tools/screwdrivers/

A link to Targa Tas photos and some short Zed videos at the Georgetown stage. Higher def. photos of the tyres for those that asked about the tyres on the Zeds at Targa. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ws8okvi8832u3v2/AABVvzexNhY23Gkv5Uix98IUa?dl=0

Removed the L28 and transported it to LCR in Warragul. Had been contemplating going with triples and saw these on Les's bench, so added this option to the rebuild.

At Targa Fest in Hobart :

At St Helens at lunch on day 1.

Saw a couple of Zeds at scrutineering for the Targa Tassie 2017 :

Saw this program on the ABC, 3D printing to create a mold to then use to cast a new engine block.

Has anyone determined if any of the seals from OZ Auto Moulds & Rubbers (as mentioned by Lurch in another post) are suitable for the 240/260Z doors or hatch?
