There is one in Adelaide that has been going down and down in price. The shell and interior looks too far gone but if you only need it for the thing above he has listed it as complete. Maybe have a chat to him and see what you can come up with. Myself and a few others from the forums have spoken to him and tried negotiating but his wife at the time was the problem (i think its sentimental). heres the link anyway: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/peterborough/cars-vans-utes/1976-datsun-260z/1286887476?

Yeah plus there are many mixed reviews about them too! Regarding castlemaine rod shop, they do engine and trans mounts if you need them still

Tested on an rb25 so unable to confirm fitment on rb30 but would imagine that they would be similar! The sump just needs to be shortened for ground clearance. I basically had the lower section removed and welded to the second drop down section. Ill grab some photos tonight when im home to show you.

https://s30.world/fuel-tanks These are the tanks peter is talking about that Team 24oz reviewed. I never realised how many different tanks there are!

11110-VB310 i just had a look through amayama and came up with this number. Its from an rd28 (diesel version of the rb series) and is currently $490 + shipping from the nissan dealer! The oil pickup too suit is part number: 15050-VB300 and is currently $58.33 + shipping from the dealer

Im in the middle of doing an RB25 into 260z 2+2. I tried for ages to find the sump Gav is talking about but they are becoming quite hard to come by! I ended up using a Nissan patrol sump as the bulge is at the opposite end. Just needs to have a little bit cut out to make it a slimmer profile and then the oil pick up shortened to suit.

Someones been busy!

I bought a whole nolathane bush kit for complete car recently. Looks great and is black too instead of usual red!

Today at the Wayville Showgrounds. Usually they have a wide range of cars on show spread across multiple halls and outside. 10am-8pm Tickets $25 per person with kids 13 and under free + free hot wheels car Big charity Cruise also leaving from here tonight aswell Dan

Adelaide seems to be the place to be for zeds haha

Heres a video of the car we made. Forgot that we had the video haha! Has anyone else done anything since covid times have had everyone locked down?

Yeah your not wrong it does look similar with slight differences Where it lines up with the guards the eyecandy one will look nice in my opinion. I have been talking to freddy from topstage for the last month and unfortunately he seems too busy doing the higher end stuff to warrant chasing down enquires for this stuff. eye candy has replied within hours of enquiry and have been given details/price etc during those messages. i prefer to deal with suppliers that respond and dont ghost you Dan

Sooo ive been searching around Aus but have been having minimal luck…..Until …… i was speaking to the fella that runs eyecandy auto accessories and he has a couple of the smaller bre style (i think) ones at the moment but the part of our conversation that excited me is that he is going to have this style (see pic) by the end of the year. I was wondering if anyone is looking for one like pictured and could be interested in a group situation? If i have enough interested i will put it forward to him and see what we can come up with. At the moment he is saying that they will be sold at $450 AUD (made in Lonsdale, South Australia) Dan

Would be interested in seeing how you go finding the same/similar size mesh as id like to make a grill similar

Pm’d

Hey man im happy to have a play if theres a mobile friendly version

Interested where your getting a slam panel from? I need one but apparently the 2 seater ones are different (this is what rare spares told me)

After some like this photo pillow-ball top strut mount

Sounds like a bit of a PITA if you ask me haha

Nah mine doesnt have them thats why i was curious haha

Anyone know what the two relays are for there under the drivers seat?

Ill be taking that one…..
