  1. I’ll be there.
  2. I found I needed to take a file to the winder gear. There was some previous damage to the spine and grove that needed cleaning up for it to insert all the way and secure properly.
  3. Harold is based out of Massachusetts, he helped me with a few parts as well when I was getting my z on the road there. He is a good guy, straight up operator. The site is pretty new and he is adding more repo stuff and custom engineered bits progressively. He is now a mate and I'm happy to recommend him / his parts.
  4. Thanks.
  5. Can someone help id where this goes? 1972 Nissan Fairlady Z-L - largely the same as the 240z.
  6. Micki, 3d printers can print TPU or TPE-U, flexible filaments. There are various hardness' available. It gives a consistency similar to rubber. The material is oil/grease resistant. I have printed the fuel line / brake line rubber mounts using this material. If I can get some good photos with key dimensions I can model it up and print a sample.
  7. I have printed them in TPU - a flexible filament that is oil resistant. PM me if you are interested in buying some.
  8. I would definitely put some strips in the doors. I did to mine and It makes a massive difference. I put two strips about 100mm high. Not too difficult
  9. Gav, why no S30 gallery? An oversight or just not enough of them on our shores? 

    Coming from the owner of S30-100698 (JDM FZ-L)

    Cheers

      Sent you a PM.

  10. Disappointed that it’s been cancelled. I’d spent hours preparing by z for showing.....
  11. FYI - the three letter / numbers stamped on the jack indicates the date of production. Check out the thread - https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59648-let’s-find-built-date-of-jack-and-tire-stopper/?tab=comments#comment-543912

  13. I brought in my 72 Fairlady Z from Boston when I returned to Australia last year. The biggest issue you will have is border control. As well as usual quarantine, Australia has a zero tolerance to importation of items that contain asbestos. It was recommended to have key parts tested before it left the US. If you do not they are likely to send it for testing and it will cost you way way more, plus you will need to pay to have any parts removed and disposed of. As it was a few items tested positive and had to be removed. This included rear brake pads, exhaust manifold gasket, cam cover gasket, head gasket and the under body coating. I did all this before I packed it up for shipping into a container with the rest of our belongings.

    240z Strut tower

    I have a bent left rear strut on my 72 Nissan Fairlady Z-L (same setup as 240z). Potentially looking for a replacement otherwise I will have to resort to a large press to try to correct. Looking for a replacement if available.
  15. That I did. Thanks Locky Anyone know where I can source a replacement?
