Hi I was wondering if there would be any chance of adding a new forum heading where people can post links that other members might find interesting or informative. It wouldn't have to be a purely Z car thing, just general interest links. Thanks Ahmed

Hi One of the machinists I work with is named Johnny Lo. All his tools are Initialed, You'll never guess J-Lo Honest He's been using J-Lo for the last twenty five years.

Hi everyone I came across this thread at HybridZ about painting with a paint roller. It's very interesting, and worth a read. I thought maybe some people on this forum might appreciate the information. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=107977 Thanks Ahmed

Hey Arne They are the ones from E-bay. I was trying to see if they were still available in Australia, and if they came with a 4 bolt pattern and a -offset. I like the panasports the best, the proportions are just right, not quite as good as the Wat's but nice anyway. The problem is 4 out of every 5 zeds around here has panasports, you'd think they came with them from the factory. Thanks Ahmed

Hi Since were on the subject of "minilite" style wheels ROH made a similar wheel called the Pro Sprint. I can't find any information on them anywhere. Do any of you guys from Downunder recognise them. It's a great looking wheel with a nice deep dish, it would look awsome on a Zed.

Hi yall, Since were on the subject of jdm badges. Do you know what the hood emblem looked like on the s30/hs30 cars. Are the mounting tabs on the "Fairlady" badge in the same spot as the "Datsun" badge. Thanks, Ahmed.

I've been reading up, and from what I can tell so far, the GTA would be the dream ride for me, well for an Alfa anyway. Ahmed

Hi Thanks for the lead Ed. We will check it out. Ahmed

Hi, All. My brother is interested in getting a late 60's Alfa Junior GT or a GTV. I was wondering if any of you guys/gals have one, or have any experience with them. Do you know if there are any helpfull Alfa forums that he can visit to gather information before he makes his decision. I have to admit it's one looker of a car but don't know anything about them. I know rust was a major issue with them, and parts seem to be alot more widely available for them then our cars Thanks Ahmed

Hey Since were on the topic of harmonic balancers, Has anybody else heard about or done a BMW balancer conversion? I read somewhere that it used to be a quite common upgrade on our engines. I can't find anything on this topic. Thanks, Ahmed.

Hi When I was in college studying Tool and Die and CAD-CAM , a freind and I designed and built a complete 1:2.5 scale V-twin based on various Harley pushrod engines for our final project. This thing was a beauty, we cut all the gears and cam lobes on a wire EDM and the heads where first turned on a 3 axis lathe and then machined on a four axis Mill, can you say tricky. We had a "constructive" argument about the cam ratation relative to the crank rotation. He claimed that the cam always had to turn in the same direction as the crank, but didn't know why. My argument was that the cam didn't have to turn in the same direction as the crank, as long as the engine was designed for the reverse rotation. I still can't figure out why the cam would have to turn in the same direction as the crank. Can someone explain why this would be. The only reason I can think of is possible vibration problems, but then again it's a "Harley". Thanks Ahmed.

Hi Ben Modern motorports sells an adaptor kit that will allow you to bolt them on. I don't know alot about this setup, but I am sure the guys over at Hybridz.org would be happy to help you out. Here is the Modern Motorsport link. http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=8 Hope it helps Ahmed

This is a nevermind reply. I should have read the first post more carefully. Please ignore. Ahmed

Hi Maybe you should try posting at HybridZ as well. The owner may be a member there already. Do what ever you want to your car, as long as your happy in the end. Ahmed
