well i think they are exactly the same. I agree though, the late bumper uprights are ugly... If your gonna change the carbs etc. I wouldnt worry about the bumpers too much coz if they are different its just a simple bracket you could probly make yourself. Cheers Chris Beattie

he he... southeners... you sound like your American.

done already :stupid: here ya go, i got the pic offa' the link on your signature!

do you have a pic of your "Western Hurricane Wheels". coz I can hop on paintshop and pop the "Iron Cross" wheels on your Z if ya want. Just as another view... Wasn't the Iron cross a Nazi thing in WW2? A medal? mybe there were nazis in the Datsun factory. A german did design it...:stupid: Cheers Chris Beattie

Why would you want to put carbs on a fuel injected engine? All of the L28s came out fuel injected... Cheers Chris Beattie

Well our garage is just a standard two car garage. Me and dad used it to fix an old triumph 2.5 we have so its a good size.(it had a blown head gasgit). At the moment (as always) its full of bikes. (It does get hot but we just use a pedastool fan and a indoor fan stuck to the roof). We've had sugestions to put one of those whirly things on the roof. Apparently their really good at removing the hot air. Anyhoo... ive included a pic of our shed. It looks small in the pic. on the wall with the window , those shelves are about 1.5 meters from the wall. and a computer is on a desk in there.(like a mini office )

When I first saw it i thought... "thats a 120Y coupe!" coz I recon thats what it is. The 120Y could have been "discontinued" in S.Africa so Nissan had to make a new model with the problems fixed, and as a popularity thing they called it a Z. Or it could of all been a populaarity thing... I donno. The web site even says "Also known as 120Y or B210" so... And the guy's e-mail is South African And to all Americans... Not every car in the world was brung out in America! and Mike Novak, 120Y's arn't rare in Aust. Their everywhere! Cheers Chris Beattie

sorry, this got posted twice! (ive shortened this one) :stupid:

Well the 240z and 280z bodys are the same. The Americans just wanted biger bumpers. God knows why... I dont see any problem, you'll just have to lightly placing the bumpers on to see if they fit coz u said u have everything and just want to know where to start :stupid: Cheers Chris Beattie

I recon just goto some motor carpet makers and if your lucky they might just have the template. you never know and it doesnt hurt to try! :stupid: Cheers Chris Beattie

Rick likes it so much coz in Australia, we dont have a spontainious event for these kind of things and the floats people do make are pretty shitty... and if we do make one out of indovidual flowers it would just wilt after 1 hour in the sun. + in Australia(WA) only parents and their kids go... :stupid: Cheers Chris Beattie

got some of that... its pretty crappy though, it doesnt set. Maybe my tube is too old I dont think it will hold the heat though... Cheers Chris Beattie

Maybe i explained it wrong, there is a small cylender that comes out of the bottom of the engine that you screw onto(via chassis). That whole cylender came off. This JB weld sounds perfect but i dont know if any exists in Australia... Cheers Chris Beattie

Ben, You say a 240z would be left in the dust of an E-type Jag. The 240z's performace spec.'s are better, if anything, then the E-types. 1969 240z 1969 E-Type coupe Top spd. 201km/ph 191km/ph 0-100km/h 8sec 8sec not very convincing but i couldn't find the 240z's 1/4 mile. :tapemouth Cheers Chris Beattie

No offence but geez Americans can talk crap!:stupid: I dont know how Americans can like Steve Erwin. God. Hes a dickhead! I haven't ever seen a person in Australia tourist or resident that looks/acts like him. He gives Aussies a real bad name. When I watch him on FOXTEL(cable TV)(coz he isnt on normal TV) I cant help but laugh... ROFL Every counrty has their fair share of bad sitcoms so lets call it even!:classic: Cheers Chris Beattie

What bonds aluminium and can withstand heat up to about 100 degreese celcius. I want to know because part of my Radio Controlled car's engine came off(screw tread). I tried "arildite" but no good, now im using "quick metal". but i havent run my car yet. Cheers Chris Beattie

Halz, what bookshop is that? The "Pitstop Bookshop"? I like what it says on the cover... "I bet its a Ferrari" I'll have to grab a copy. Cheers Chris Beattie

gee. it sounds like your selling a person. The subject is "240z racer for sale". making it sound like your selling the driver... I would be interested if i had my licence and lived in america and had some money... Cheers Chris Beattie

I saw "the run" first on the big screen (movies). Awsome sound there. I downloaded it from Kazaa ages ago. "C’etait un Rendezvous" is like AUD$30 here for a 9min DVD. I might buy it if i cant download it. Yeh im a cheapskate...:sleepy: Cheers Chris Beattie

northbridge tunnel? I thought it was called "pollies pipe"? (coz it leaks) Geez the Z must of sounded awsome in it. You should hear my Dad's 1975 Triumph Boniville 750!!!(motorbike) AWSOME! I dont think their are any camera's in the tunnel but my mate recons that a message came over his radio saying that he was doing "12 km/ph over the speed limit". I dont belive him... Cheers Chris Beattie
