You might recognise this from the classifieds, it is Linton’s second car he was in the process of working on, after the orange 2+2 he splendidly restored. AKA known as “the Ratson” because it previously came with free rats. 🐀🐀🐀🐀 RS30-00981 260Z 2 seater It will take a while, and be very much one step at a time. We’re competent with mechanical things, can get by on electrical bits and pieces, but welding, body work, sheet metal fabrication, and spray painting we will be learning as we go! Plan is an L26, manual, with some upgrades such as triple webbers, disc brake rear end, and maybe a Subaru A/C system. Yellow, with perhaps a body kit. So after lurking around here for a while now, we’re no longer an imposter because we actually own a Z car! Our second Datsun after the 1600.

Looks like a post update issue with a template file and a custom 'hook' call was causing it to break the template code for the page. I've just cleared all caches and made a few small changes as part of debugging. It looks to be working again, although I cannot exact explain what change I made that resolved it. Perhaps a combination of clearing old template files and forcing them to be regenerated fixed the issue? Hard to say for sure, but let me know if you still have issues going forward? I can raise an issue with the IPS support team to have a look. Our current hosting environment may need to undergo some changes to meet requirements of the newer version that will be pushed out soon. So I may need to do some ongoing updates/changes in due course.Sun, 11 Jan 2026 05:52:39 +0000Hi all, I thought I would introduce our new build. We have just picked up a very sound 260Z 2 seater shell and parts and intend to build a road track car for targa events, hill climbs and track days. So a bit of background, my son Matt was quite an accomplished driver through karting and then Formula Ford. On our many trips across to Victoria from Adelaide, we would often talk about one day building his dream car. One that we could both share the build, and also enjoy driving it after. We looked off and on for a 240/260 2 seater for some years, and eventually this one popped up, and after road trip to Arrarat, it's ours. The basic plan is a stock LS3, 4 speed T10+, roll cage, and upgraded suspension, brakes etc. It will in the restomod theme, where it will remain cosmetically sympathetic to the original, but then upgraded for competition use underneath. I have a couple of builds under my belt now, having just finished a 1960 Split Window Kombi, and prior to that a 750HP LSx454 into a 93 HSV Senator. The idea of this build is for me to teach Matt as much as possible, as he really wants to be very involved with the build. We wont get started on it for some time, but at least we have the car.Thu, 01 May 2025 03:54:02 +0000Hi, While I haven't re-installed and tested yet, I wanted to give a quick plug for Mark Sully of Old Car Radios fixed. I sent my Hitachi radio and Harada antenna off to him to be refurbished (not restored - as still had chalk marks etc on it) and checked over (and to have an in-line blue tooth receiver put on). Despite my worries about sending what is now quite valuable off to someone I had not met, he did a really good job with good follow up and information (and at a reasonable price).

HThu, 07 Nov 2024 23:49:59 +0000Hi Folks, I've noticed 2 things failing when posting replies here. 1. Youtube embedded videos produce a 403 result. 2. Quoting other topics/comments seems to also fail due to the embedding. I'm not sure why yet, but will chase it up with the software providers to understand if it's a server configuration issue. Update: Posted in support forum here.Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:29:07 +0000Hi folks, Just a heads up I've run some updates including upgrading to the newest version of PHP. Overall this should improve the user experience but let me know if anything is not behaving correctly post upgrade? Thanks, Gavin.Wed, 19 Jul 2023 23:47:44 +0000Thanks and I hope you enjoyed this restoration!Fri, 14 Jul 2023 08:32:39 +0000I used to use Robco for this sort of work but he's retired now so I've been looking for a replacement and got a recommendation for these guys to redrill my Volvo hubs: https://www.yellowpages.com.au/vic/kilsyth/precision-tool-die-p-l-12937407-listing.html Really quick turnaround and very reasonably priced.Thu, 30 Mar 2023 03:05:44 +0000View full recordSat, 19 Nov 2022 06:12:15 +0000
