  1. Now that's a compliment. Thankyou.
  2. I do. It's still in my garage. Dropping it off tomorrow morning.
  3. Lachlan, your mirrors are the same ones I have on my other Z. The mirror part is wider and more user friendly while retaining the tear drop style. I think the tear drops are one of the most copied mirrors ever. Now, I wonder who Ford copied them from.
  4. Gavin, if you find an XY mirror at the wreckers please let me know cause I'll buy the car that they came on. I bought mine from Rare Spares who stock them all the time from what the guy told me. They were AU$230 for the pair. Retail was $121 each. The good thing about them is they are an alloy mirror so the paint on them will not fade like it does on platic mirrors and no way will they brake. I don't know about you guys but the mirror shape doesn't bother me one bit as I never use it (side mirrors). I think mirrors are handy but a very bad habbit to rely on them. Blind spots are deadly so I always look over my shoulder. Even if I'm on the freeway and I know there is no one behind me, I look over my shoulder when changing lanes. Habbit I guess. btw, Simon's mirrors are XY's too. I've just had a look at some video footage I took at the Nationals and I'm 99% sure they are tear drops.
  5. No need to be sorry, you be looking at them. I know what you mean about the mirror shape but I love them. Personally I've yet to see a better looking mirror, old or new. My other Z has XY ripp-offs which you might find interesting. They look similar on the outside but the mirror shape is wider which makes it easier to see through. I'll take a pic tomorrow to show you.
  6. Just bought this set of sexy mirrors for the Z. Can't wait to get them on but they are not on my priority list. Need to get the car on the road first. What other mirrors, other than stock, do you guys think suit the 240/260? Cheers
  7. Don't really know what to say... My thoughts are with you and your family.
  8. So you might as well give the guns out. It's a hopeless situation, why bother trying to control it. Besides, you have a free country so it's your God given right to shoot your neighbour if you want to. I'm afraid that argument does not work well with me. I can use my hands to kill a person, or a lighter, or a spoon, or rat poison, or alcohol but none of those things were designed as a tool of murder just as your examples were not. Guns were. Damned right you are there. Forgive my post, I hate including myself in these pointless arguments so I'll just show myself out.
  9. By God you are right Annette. I just checked my pockets (white/cream pants) and the fluff is blue. Why is this? Must be the eighth wonder of the world. :cheeky:
  10. I've been meaning to see this for the longest time Cuong. Have heard good things about it. Is it still at the cinemas?
  11. Then it's not original. I've got my eye on this...
  12. On the first day when I got my Z I thought the cable was broken but I'd seen the previous owner open it so after a while (I'm slow) I did what Chris said and it worked. Worth a try.
  13. That was just a made up example but let's see what some of the guys come up with. I'm open to any theories.:cheeky:
  14. That'd be me. Just drop me your e-mail by pm or leave it here and I'll send you the info. cheers
  15. Nah forget that. They are going in the trash. I really hate them and I've not come across one person that likes them.
  16. There's no such thing as going off topic in one of my threads cause I don't really care. I'm conditioned to it from my other forum. They have an attention span of two posts per thread. One minute you're talking about the brakes and the next we are discussing where pocket fluff comes from. Go figure. Btw, here is a link that you might find usefull if you are searching for an R31 diff. http://www.r31skylineclub.com/
  17. Wow, I wouldn't dare begin something like that. Good on him for taking on the long trek. I've left a message for him.
  18. His name is Ian Munro. He's been looking for a Z for a short while I believe.
  19. Pic taken at the 1999 Z Nationals in Sydney.
  20. Taken just before it was sold to me.
  21. Good view of the rear end up on the hoist
  22. Custom 70L fuel tank.
  23. I'll be your photographer. I'll bring my camera and post some pics of the flying bits and pieces.
